Three weeks together
And already best pals. I was blown away how quickly the older lady took new puppy under her wings. We just can't be with a one dog...
If you mean the names we call our dogs, I found an article (in Finnish but bet you can find the list)
Just read about how president Musk and his playmate The Orangehead threatens Zelensky to shut down Starlink if Zelensky doesn't agree to give Musk Ukrainian minerals. Musk and Trump all just like 10 yo bullies who run to mum if somebody doesn't play with them. Mean bullies who don't give a shit about anyone else but themselves
She is not from the biggest end, that's for sure. She weights about 24 kg but that is enough when she wants to cuddle. Although the breed is originally for hunting, this particular individual is a perfect lap dog
Karelian Beardog
Don't know if the breed is correct in English. But it's a straight translation from Finnish. She is called Tiltu and she came to us as a sort of a rescue dog. Originally the breed is for hunting but not with us. EDIT: picture taken by my daughter https://www.instagram.com/alisas__photos
Yes, a beagle I will post pics of Beardog someday soon and of I remember correctly there is one in my profile page.
Lakeside view
In the middle of nowhere at Finnish Lapland. No roads insight. No people insight. Just silence and beautiful, calming lake
Oiva 's first two weeks
Oiva has been with us just over two weeks. And he took the whole family as his own. Even our Karelian Beardog has been extremely nice towards Oiva. So, everything whent better than we expected
Took me a while but now I'm laughing and wife at the other side of the room is asking why but I can't, I just can't...
I don't know (yet) about "cross posting" but I joined the community and posted it again. Thanks for the tip
Front yard bunny
We live a small city of Rovaniemi, slightly over 50 thousand people. Our house is at the suburbs and the forests are near. A bunny in our yard is a common sight

Finnish Lapland
I'm going through my pics and making separate back ups from pictures that brings back memories This was taken by my second oldest daughter in 2019
Oiva The Beagle
Oiva has been with us now for a week. And yesterday he started to explore our backyard. Most of the backup is for the dogs, so they can run around as much as they like
My favourite
I don't know much about poetry. But I do know this is my favorite. So sad but still full of some kind of hope
8yold and 3monthsold playing
It looks quite wild, fast and furious but nobody isn't screaming or yelling and there is no blood in sight. So they are having fun. It's so strange how good the older one took "the news" when puppy arrived Edit: there's a video but I can't get the image/preview to show
Aurora Borealis
Last november the sky was on fire. I've lived at Rovaniemi (Finland) over 45 years and I had never seen the sky dancing like it did on that night
Meet "Oiva"
We drove 450 km yesterday to get this #beagle boy. A new puppy since 2014. We lost 3 dogs within a year in 2023-2024. We got one rescue dog at november 2023 and now this little fellow. I don't know was it a decision made of common sense or a decision of the heart. Anyway, a good decision after all.
Our Karelian Piedog
Actually it's Karelian Beardog. People in Finland use this breed in moose hunting. But she injured her nose and owner had no use for her. So she came to us in December -23
