I was at the local dog park and second-hand shop. And I liked it.

Yesterday was a good day. Thanks to the Interconnected Multi-world Net we discovered that a special area for dogs was only 15 minutes perambulation from our home-kennel. Those minutes proved to be the perfect warm-up walk for me to run like a mad thing with a firecracker tied to my tail. The dog park was really quite massive.




Exhausted but happy!
Later that day another new discovery in the neighbourhood was a large second-hand shop. My humans bought some flappy paper things they called 'books' and I got the lovely vintage jigsaw you see below. I'm pretty sure some of my photogenic genes come from this super model!


My ancestor was a model.

Memory Lane

SQUIRREL!
Time to cut my claws and start to write my blog more often. Last year went past so fast, probably because of the squirrels. So many of them and so little time! On this post I have collected some of the events we have experienced since the Midsummer post.
We moved to new location again, but luckily the squirrels moved here too. That reminded me of something that happend the last Autumn... Squirrel just FLEW in my MOUTH! Can you believe it?! 
The squirrel bit me. I had to go to the vet. But I was OK. So was the squirrel.

Before Christmas I received a package from my human Grandparents in the UK!

This I found in the Grandparents' package  - An Xmas calendar for dogs!
For Christmas we travelled where there is that white, fluffy Westy dog. And I got new toys and goodies from a man with red clothes and nose.

During the past 6 or more months we have been travelling around Southern Finland and especially Greater Helsinki to get to great sniff of this huge neighborhood.

One of the greatest adventures was the Open Show event organised by The Danish Swedish Farmdog Club. I met many dogs and their humans that day:

They even tried to drown me, but I said no.

One busy day we took a ferry to Suomenlinna. It was a bit scary because it was the last day of the Tall Ship Race event and loads of humans wanted to see the last good glimse of the ships while they were passing the island:

Here are some random moments from different locations and times:

When I can't catch squirrels, I kill cones.
