A DogGo*od Bye from the Balkans

I woke up early and made myself ready to leave for the airport. I usually have mixed feelings going back home. On the one hand, I'm sad to leave as I want to continue on to explore new things. On the other hand, I'm getting tired of all these new experiences and I want my routine and especially my dog back. These strays were a very good substitute, but nothing beats my doggo.
So I packed all my stuff and left Ohrid behind, driving through another part of the country that I haven't really been to before. I really enjoy all these amazing views that I get driving around Macedonia and Kosovo, I really do. It's such a nice change to just city or fields or woods in Germany all the time.
When I arrive at the rental station, I'm greeted by the two little pups again. They look even thinner than a week ago. They are so freaking adorable, I just want to buy them a whole supermarket worth of food. If I'd come there with my own car, you bet I'd take at least a handful of dogs with me to Germany, no matter the costs.
But I couldn't do that, so I scammed my whole luggage and gave them literally everything that wouldn't kill them - about 8 muesli bars, 6 Strudel cookies, both upper halves of my sandwiches (on the lower parts were tomatoes and I really couldn't risk poisoning them), two apples (they actually really liked them) and a third of my pretzel sticks (that was all I had left).
I got into talking with the rental car guy and he was very sweet. He said that they'd still need names. For the darker one, the name "Joker" just came to me in an instant, and as they are two brothers, I wanted them to obviously fit together , so that I named the lighter one "Poker". Was that lazy? Maybe, but I don't care.
We cuddled the doggos and I crushed his dreams about Madagascar actually resembling the movie. I learned that he used to be a professional League of Legends gamer and he's never been to Kosovo. It was a very pleasant chat, but finally the time came (and more people), so we drove to the airport. With my Goodbyes, I made him promise to take care of the doggos and always feed them. I hope he stands up to that.

The flight had 40 min delay as there were some discussions whether we'd fly via Italy or not (I didn't get the gist why) so that we arrived at 6.30 pm in Frankfurt. Therefore, I had to take a later train and I was only at 10 pm in Göttingen. It was so weird sitting back in my car! But the tongue-y welcome of Aluna was very familiar 😜🥰

Songs of the trip:
- Basically the whole F1: The Movie playlist but especially "Just keep watching" by Tate McRae, "Drive" by Ed Sheeran and "Grandma calls the boy bad news" by RAYE
- All of the Katseye songs but especially "Touch", "Gameboy" and "Flame"Okumaya devam et
