Country living

I've had a natural break from the blog since we haven't been doing much lately (apart from less interesting stuff, such as constructing more kennels and helping my mom move into her new home). It's been a sunny and dry summer here on the coast and most of the time it's been too warm to involve the dogs in any working activities. Instead we've been taking it easy at home, enjoying quality time with the family.   

Tuisku hanging out at Grandma's place - she lives next door.

Since we live in the countryside and have farms nearby it's important that our dogs behave well around livestock. Our neighbour's horses sometimes come wandering into our yard, making everybody very excited. Having lived in Lapland, our Malamutes are more used to reindeers than horses and cattle...

This handsome guy lives in the village. We haven't said hello to him personally but I don't think it's necessary,
our dogs seem to have plenty of respect for Mr Goat.
His kids are very cute and cuddly, especially this one who has been raised on the bottle.
We still have a couple of weeks left of our holiday and are heading up north to do some hiking in the mountains.
See you later!
