Summers are Great!

Whew have I been busy! Yesterday my creature took me to be groomed. I don't like it one bit. I tried everything I could to get away. Some tree sap landed on top of my head so I'm missing hair there. My creature put peanut butter on the sap to emulsify it but it just "wore" my hair thin. I've been going to the lake almost every week. I love the walks in the forest, my creature tries to walk 2 miles every day. I stay with ahead of her and dart back and forth, sometimes I get so hot I jump in the… Continue

2 puppies left...

We did find nice homes to 3 of 5 puppies. Arthur and Enya is left and they are really nice individualls. I am happy to have Enya at home, because i have my best chanse to raise her to a service dog. :-) She loves to work with her head and she is so smart. Both puppies loves to pick up things so my plan is just to let them learn to pick up some clothes, toys and another things they find.

Acting as illustration for Irish Setter in a dog book

Well, you can imagine the happiness when friends tell you that your dog is pictured in a dog book. Unfortunately the book is sold out and not available in second-hand shops either but i finally (after two years or so) managed to get a scan of it :-) (I don't specially like this photo btw, but hey, you can't get it all. Just wonder if they shouldn't have asked me for permission to publish it????)

The photo was taken in September 2003 when Odin… Continue

Grouse situation looks bad... :(

We have been counting the game for the Ministry of Forestry with dogs.This is done before the season starts. Large areas in northern parts of Finland have suffered from total failure of brood. This is mainly done by cold summer. I have been hearing the same happen in Norway.

This is a catastrophy for the trials as well...

In this scenery we started

Here are my workers…
