Two Americans And a Dog
США
Добавлен 28 авг 2021
We are Rob and Patty, empty nesters who love to travel and experience everything with our dog, a Coton de Tulear named Happy who has inspired Patty to write children’s books with him as the protagonist. Learn more at pattyhoffman.com Our videos focus on various subjects, including traveling with a disability, mainland Portugal, Madeira and the mostly hidden Jewish history of the Portuguese world.
Our Post-2024 Election Therapy: A Visit to Fanal Forest, Madeira
We are very fortunate to live in our new home of Madeira.
One reason: It's pretty easy to find a change of scenery.
We needed it in a big way on the morning of Nov. 6, 2024 after the results of the US elections. Something that would stop us from endlessly doomscrolling and watching MSNBC pundits bemoan all of the terrible things that just happened.
So we went to the Fanal Forest near the center of the island. And we are glad we did.
Let us know if you like this "newer" style of video: If you are entertained, informed or even amused. We may not be the snazziest people around with the most "wow" effects, but we like to tell good stories as former professional newspaper reporters.
And please let ...

Marmosets in Ponta de Pedras, Brazil, February 2024
Просмотров 238 месяцев назад
Wandering back to our cabin at the Pousada Aldeira Beijupura one day, we happened on a tree full of Marmosets, commonly referred to as "macacinhos" (little monkeys) in Brazil. After some hesitation and chattering, one even ate a fruit out of our hand. Best. Experience. Ever.

Sarnia, Ontario: Beaches, Bike Rides, Fried Pickerel and Lake Huron Sunsets.
Просмотров 313Год назад
This time, we feature a place a little closer to (our current) home in Ann Arbor, MI: Sarnia, directly across the Blue Water Bridge from Port Huron. We visited Canatara Bach and Park, where Happy played with a Toronto-based Yorkie named Nina; biked along the riverfront, while he yapped at all the dogs; ate pickerel for the first time by the waterfront at Purdy's Fish Market; and drove a few kil...

We had just completed our own tour of the Charlottesville estate and were exploring t...

'Promo SM'
What a beautiful area!
Thanks for watching. People don’t realize how hard it is to experience all of Madeira in one visit. But there’s always next time… As for your other comment, heroes are always “Happy” - except if thry are Spiderman. 😂
Good to know. Short and sweet video about the #farmersmarket in #funchal
We spent a week in Madeira and never made it to Ponta do Pargo or even São Lourenço! We really enjoyed the places that we did visit and can't wait to go back for more adventures. Off the topic of this video, but I'm so curious how could a dog named "Happy" be such a protagonist in your stories for children hahaha
Loved seeing you guys and your adorable furry friend enjoying the beautiful weather and beach! I'm coming to Madeira on a scouting trip in a couple of weeks and look forward to seeing the gorgeous island! Hope you guys are enjoying your life there.
Very exciting. It’s a magical island, you will see. Watch for Happy on an even better beach soon. Thanks for watching!
we took this flight in January and had a good experience. With all the empty seats (our flight too) I am concerned this may not last.
Hopefully it’s just the season!
That looks like a LOT of food! Of course Happy is thrilled 😆
What an amazing event! Best parade ever. ❤️❤️❤️
Muy bonito si ,me gusta ,,,,,soy de Tenerife ( CANARIAS) ,conoces los carnavales de Tenerife? ,,,Ya llevamos días y esto no para y termina el próximo domingo ,,,,vente a conocernos ,,saludos ,,verás lo que es diversión por todos lados ,,

Such beautiful and happy dogs❤
💓
That looks like an amazing meet. I have a black and white Coton de Tulear and we love going to meets in the UK. Is that black and white Coton Happy? 👋I follow his Instagram.
Oh yes. That’s Happy indeed.
I have a Coton de Tulear, and she is the sweetest dog I have ever owned. Smart, and loves being around people.
😘😘😘
How do I get a puppy???
They're all so cute! We recently acquired a Coton de Tulear puppy in April.
What a great video.. great to see Patty!!
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us !
