Looks and likes

When we lived in East London, my humans kept a black puppy stuck in an oven in our kitchen. I tried to play with the tortured one through the glass but we never really got to know each other before we moved up north. I was pleased to notice that she has also moved here. She lives now in our cellar and I get to see her through a window every day. Her grotto seems rather spacious, but I doubt she ever gets out. She's not the smartest cross-breed I've met but I quite like her calmness and sporty appearance.

Flying ingredients

First Finnish buttery fly spotted and almost caught! I hope that my first summer will also bring along other deliciously identified flying objects (IFOs). I also greet the arousal of appetite for ice cream of my flatmates that secures my daily dairy delivery (DDD).

The pictured stimulant is not a Monte Cristo nor Cohiba, but a delicate piece of Salix sp., locally grown perfection.

A postcard from Helsinki

Hello Londoners and other friends abroad! This building attracts most tourists in my hoods so here's a postcard. It is a real photo opportunity, I think it's beacause of the seagulls that indeed are endlessly interesting animals. One second they stimulate your instincts to hunt them and rip their chicken wings apart (only happened in my dreams) and the very following second they transform into a flying flock of terror. 

Coast guard

I spend a lot of time nowadays patrolling the coastal area of Finland (or at least the waterfront near my home). The shore is an important area that divides horizontal space into land (which is easy to run on) and sea (best known for its famous sea food). 

Note my new harness that prevents the dragging of the human I train. 

New hobby

"The log just dropped out of the blue and killed the poor puppy."

Wrong folks, wrong.

Today I took my human (the one with longer arms) to a park to train him some secrets of golfing. Personally I got interested in golf when I found a ready-to-fetch golf ball from a gutter. Anyway, he got along pretty well and he managed to perform couple of well ranged throws before the ball landed under a log. The log itself is probably from an urine oak or similar (it lies in my regular dog poo wonderland). I made quite an effort to get the ball back while my trainee just stood beside and photographed. Thanks for nothing again! The ball still waits there, so maybe I'll have to ask my J. Russel collegues to help. 

Please note the beautiful green grass we have here in Finnish dog parks.

Female body builder

This is my new favourite position called 'the Maximum Ignorance'. I will post later the 'Crippled Orphan' that I use it when waiting for my supper and 'Invisibility', which is used when I sense the threat of an eye-dropper.

I think my puppy days are over for good. A miniature Homo sapiensis appeared some days ago to live in my apartment. Not that I give a damn, but he seems to get a lot more brunches, luncheons and night snacks than I do. The older humans still share a twisted intrest in collecting this pink creature's poo as well as mine. 

Watch and learn

At first glance you might think that the picture above is just a classic scenery from Finland. If you take your time and focus carefully you can see a wild puma hiding on a prairie, ready to attack unsuspecting prey. No birch should be forced to watch a massacre of their fallen branches by this merciless predator.

Liberté, egalité, dejeuner!

We've moved again and this time I think it's serious. I picked a decent apartment downtown Helsinki and gave my humans the opportunity to still live with me. My huge flock of rooms gives me plenty of freedom to express whatever I need to express. Sadly my best friends could not leave their position as housekeepers in the suburbs, so I need to travel a bit to see them. 

Today I treated them with a visit to real Finnish country-side. We were given a chance to explore an enermous private dog yard a size of an average London park. The owners of the yard were two Belgian Tervuerens, one of them just slightly too big and one giant individual. Luckily these civilized wolves stayed in their car while we roamed their grounds. The picture shows our most memorable moment when we found a stick. A wooden stick, what a gem among found objects.
