Time for Vacation

Here we are: the Summer is here and immediately we think of the holidays ahead. Some have already left, others will leave in the coming days, but others remain at home to enjoy the tranquility of the metropolis that now, for a few days, will turn into an oasis of peace even if in the past few years something has changed. The deserted city under the hot sun that all of us remember, is no longer a reality, as many choose to take holidays during the year and remain at work in August. Excellent choice for those who can afford it: you can now enjoy the benefits of less crowded resorts at lower prices and higher quality services. And then, when everyone leaves, you can really enjoy the city: you discover unknown corners, pleasant rooms that you have never sought to visited before, you meet people who are more relaxed than during the rest of the year. And then we wonder if this is not the real vacation: a place to live in a different spirit, in which we live and work, and to see it with new eyes: it is not alone in the desert where one finds themselves, also our city can become the place where we seek peace. A friend and accomplice of our prosperity. So ..... happy vacation at all!

Memories

Each of our lives is made of memories. Whether good or bad, they are still part of our lives and take us along the path that unfolds before us, day after day. Some are diluted over time, they lose their importance and end up being forgotten, while others, the important ones that have contributed to a significant turning point in our lives, remain engraved in us and seem as alive as when we experienced them. And we often recall these episodes that have given us special moments of great joy and have helped us to find the energy to face new challenges with greater determination and to avoid repeating the mistakes that have made us suffer. Thinking of the desert, the unique moments that this place can give, every time is a burst of well-being: these memories resurface with great ease, and just recalling the memory, and reliving the magic and everything suddenly becomes easier. Hold tight to your most beautiful memories, they help us smile again, even in the darkest days.

Great results!

Great results from our Koa who just returned from the world championships in Paris, where he was awarded second place overall in his class, while the world champion title went to his father's brother, a Swedish Great Dane, like him. It was a competition within the family, giving great satisfaction to the breeders and owners.
The presence of Koa also aroused a great interest: he drew a lot of attention and was photographed a lot, both by other breeders and by the public that by this point already known him for his very respectable track record.
Our mutt is able to sense the atmosphere of competition and has impeccable behavior even when he is in a crowd, thanks to Max who trained him very well and to Marina the breeder, who leads him perfectly and with which he has established an excellent relationship. As a reward, he enjoyed a well-deserved nap in the long journey back home. Great job Koa and good luck for the future!

Rally of the Giants

The rally of Great Danes held Sunday in Boffalora Ticino was such a show! There were the most beautiful examples of the four categories: harlequin, black, tan and blue, in addition to many young dogs and even puppies.
The competitions were held for most of the day and again this time Koa made us proud by winning his category. But not only that, but two of his female puppies were awarded the first and second place as the best in show among the puppies. A great satisfaction for everyone, but more than that we all enjoyed a beautiful day outside, with a toast in honor of the winners and Marina Salmoiraghi, breeder and owner of Dei Cinegetica where Koa comes from. His next destination- the world championships which will be held Thursday, July 7 in Paris. Almost an impossible goal, but ... we are all cheering him on!

Heat

The heat has arrived, as happens every year in summer. We all said in May that it seemed autumn was suddenly here, but now that the temperatures have risen for a few days, we're already complaining. Yet even the past summers were hot, and then you could not even rely on tech support that today helps us deal better with the heat. Air conditioning is now present everywhere, both in the car and the office, and even companies dealing with apparel are investing in finding new solutions to help provide maximum comfort in high temperatures.
In my deserts I was able to test specific items, especially the new technical materials, light and breathable, provided by sponsors who followed me over the years to support my expeditions: I am currently followed by Ferrino, who has launched its new line Highlab. I have always preferred natural fibers such as cotton and wool, even though over time I learned to appreciate the latest technical fabrics, practical and very light indeed. Recently, however, I have been able to test samples that I use in the evening underneath clothing in cold weather or during the night in tents, which is made of merino wool, a lightweight and extremely comfortable products REWOOLUTION. It was a pleasant surprise and a welcome return to the past!
