Good luck with training!! :) There's so much to learn when it comes to our dogs, I guess. We just had the first long walk ever with our younger dog without him pulling the leash! :) Even when there was other dogs he didn't pull the leash or start barking. Wow. Great success. :)

Manu doesn't like golden retrievers because when he was a puppy a gd ran over him at a doggy-park... He didn't get hurt or anything, but obviously he still remembers what happened. ;) I don't think it's a breed-related thing if dogs have issues with each other. Some dogs just "talk" dog better...

This is from Lapland. It's so awesome up there!! :)

How many cars do you see? :D

Blind, deaf, 3-legged dog saves family from fire | KFOR.com – Oklahoma City News & Weather from KFOR Television, Oklahoma's News Channel 4 These are such wonderful news... I'm always crying when I read about these hero-dogs. :)

Yep, looks like winter in Finland. :D This year we haven't had that much snow - yet. Up north ppl know how to drive even in the snow, but in the south where the bigger cities are winter always comes as a surprise. ;) I think in Lapland the dark-times just ended and they're starting to see the...

We tried a similar thing with a real fox once. Manu was a real hunter and tried to play with the fox... Manu wants to make love, not war, i guess. :D Needless to say, we haven't tried again and haven't thought about going hunting either. ;)

Hello and welcome! :) Lily's adorable!! I just love dapples... :)

Hello and welcome! Well done giving him a forever home he deserves. :) He's a cutie.

Thanx for that tip Vizzla, I could try making one of those for our junior also. :) My mom likes to knit and she's promised to knit Manu a sweater. :)

Hello from Finland and welcome!! :)

You guys are so good at this... :) Awesome work!! I found some baby-pics of Manu where he's wearing the one and only coat I ever sewed him. And here's also what the coat was made of... My husbands old pants, of course! :D

Oh no! Well, I think that is a puppy-thing. :) Our youngest had a house decorating phase last summer. He chewed some floor-lists, panels around our backdoor and even panel around a window. :D The good thing is that he did this in only one room...

I have to dig up some good photos of our hikes for you Penny! :) You're right, the scenery is spectacular. :)

They're so cute Penny!! :) Esp Georgia... :D This is how Manu used to hitchhike with us when he was a pup and we went for long hikes. :)

That is so funny! :D Manu loves the sun too, but he hasn't done anything like that - at least not yet. ;) Both our boys love the sauna...

Hello and welcome! Gorgeous dogs! I love your 13 year old. :) My mom has 15+ year old longhaired dachsie that is still like a pup (although he can't see or hear very well anymore). I have a longhaired dachsie Manu and a german shepherd-mix Jussi. We live in Finland. :)

I've never seen one of these in Finland in use either. :D We finns seem to lack imagination... ;) I did see these in a pet-stuff-store, though. There's this very bling-bling pet store that sells only clothes and other cute stuff for pets downtown. They had these for sale and I was thinking who...

I've never heard of anything like this. :) This is a nice forum, you always learn something new. ;) Our german shepherd mix used to have ears like that as a pup, but I thought it was because he hadn't decided how to wear them yet. ;) Now they're normal flappy ears.
