  2. And the adventure begins! Yesterday it was about time: our Beto - he's now called Peto (which is the Finnish translation for 'the beast') - started with his new family on his journey around the world by motorcycle. Two years they are already on the road, from now on accompanied by little Peto. We hope to get from him - virtually as our Animales Atenas mascot and Animal Welfare Ambassador - regular reports. Skippy & Wolfi, heartfelt thanks for all your support during your stay in Atenas! We wish you all many great impressions and good luck on your way ahead! We are delighted to know our Peto in excellent caring hands, surrounded by the lovely furry girls Lyra and Ultu! What a life…!

    1. Thanks for the flowers. The fun was really on our side!
      So much I can tell already now, Peto really enjoys sniffing around in new areas. He can't get enough and he is everytime totally excited when he notices it is time for another walk :D
      The little furry one is Ulpu - not Ultu ;)

    1. Hi Taryn, nice to hear from you! Hope you enjoy this blog of our past adventures :)

      Facebook doesn't have anything meaningful to offer me anymore and I can't support their non existing privacy policy anymore either! Facebook is just a huge spy!!!

      I'm still in Youtube, Instagram and Vidme. You can also join MeWe, which is a very nice place and try to recommend others to join it as well! ;)
