Santa's Little Helpers

So, I went to the forest yesterday, to look for some firs to do more decorating around the house. 

And look whom I met, kids! If you don´t believe in Santa Claus, here is your proof: I met a Christmas Elf and some little helpers! :)

Ok, the story went a little bit more like this:

The Supernatural Litter - They Are A Wild Bunch

Friend of mine pointed out today that I haven´t actually introduced the youngest members of the Kipp d´Amundsen pack yet.

And she was totally right, so here it comes, sorry for the delay folks, I´ve been busy raising these wild little monkeys! :)

So let me officially introduce you to the SUPERNATURAL LITTER :)

Puppy Sleeping Posititons

If you ever wondered how many times can a puppy change their sleeping position within one hour, here is a series I managed to take of little Ruby while she fell asleep on the coach the other day.

I´ve been around dogs basically all my life, but I must admit, I had no idea about some of the sleeping positions being even possible. One is learning all the time! :)

One Busy Day In The Life Of A Puppy

Ever wonder how puppies do it? - so much energy in such tiny little bodies!

In this photo blog I am trying to capture at least a tiny fraction of what one single day in their life looks like.

The Cat And The Toad

Summer is full of life. It is full of smells and sounds and everything is buzzing, peeping, jumping, running or crawling around.

Ronja made a discovery the other day, or perhaps she was trying to make friends with one such summer critter and it was hilarious to watch the two unlikely friends to interfere.

Mio's Movie Night

Not only people can have movie nights.

Our house dogs usually watch anything we do. Ok, they mostly sleep through it and the pleasure for them comes from the simple fact of sharing the company.
Well dogs will be dogs and cats will definitely always be cats.

What's A Couch Without Krtek?

Today´s blog is very simple. I am not going to write anything.

Not that it´s not going to be about anything, obviously, there is definitely a story for you.

But I´ll leave it to Krtek to tell it to you. :)

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween From The Bed Monster

Starring yours truly......
..... any guesses who that might be? :)

Birthday Party

Today marks the day when, seven years ago, my super leader Tazlina gave birth to three amazing girls - Krtek, Snowy and Icey.

While we all wish a very Happy Birthday to Icey (now called Lisa), who lives with her pack and family in southern Sweden, we had a party up here for Snowy and Krtek.

In Trouble

My dream holiday plans are ruined. Someone told Runner, the biggest mouth in the kennel, about our intentions.

Comet's Summer Condo

Comet just got in heat. It isn´t anything extraordinary, but this summer twelve of our girls got in heat at pretty much the same time so one day we ran out of kennels to put them in.

So the temporary kennels we have on the meadow became very handy.

The Successful Thief

Yesterday we went for a walk with the dogs. It was supposed to be the usual, innocent walk we do all the time. Nothing special, nothing unusual.

There was also nothing special or nothing unusual about Mouse´s disappearing from the beach for a while. She does that on such a regular basis that it is not really a big deal. That´s just the way she is. It´s her usual "husky thing".

Fish, Fishy, Fish, the Smelly Tasty Fish

Jachym went fishing yesterday.

It is always a big deal around here, because it takes ages before Jachym finally decides to pack his fishing gear and go.

The good thing, though, is, that he rarely returns empty handed.

So yesterday, besides a few nice sized bass, he also brought extra few fish for the dogs.

Team House Dogs Trail Report

Team House Dogs trail report: 

Weather is awesome, snow is cool and soft and at some parts pretty deep. The hiking trails are perfect for us dogs.

The two legged members of the team keep slowing us down as they struggle on the narrow path.

Mouse is lazy, walks only in other dogs´s tracks. The border collie is crazy and cheeky and too fast to take pictures of and the shepherd too busy sticking to her human mom.

Two People, Two Dogs and Six Loads of Sh...PEEP

I truly regret not having pictures to go along with this post. They would make you laugh. They would make you feel inspired. And most definitely they would make you wonder about our mental health.

Let me assure you that we are mentally fit. At least we think so, although I guess that it could be a topic for debate, because living alone in the middle of nowhere with 60 dogs, not seeing much of other human beings and not leaving the land of woods and lakes for literary years, can actually effect our sanity.

Weather crazy or not, we at least know for sure, that we are physically fit. We have tested that numerous times and ultimately yesterday.

The Story Of The Mop

Have I mentioned lately that Granite is a very special dog? Right. I already hear your answer. Yes, I have been pointing that out constantly. But have I actually mentioned that he is a bit crazy too?

He loves toys. Just like any properly, from head to toes spoiled kid, Granite loves toys. He loves "murdering" them, especially those with some fluff or fabric sticking out.

Breakfast at Tiffany's, I Mean Bolt's

Today the freezing fog gave the dogs some fashionable jewelry. The fuzziest looking was our crazy boy Bolt so I made this short video of him eating his breakfast, all dressed in silver. Just like breakfast at Tiffany´s! :)

Mrs Pretty And Mr Handsome's Hard Life

If Granite and Krtek talked the human language, I sometimes honestly think that this is what they would  be thinking and saying:

New Year's Fun

Sliding down the hill on empty dog food bags was something that Katka, Jachym, the canines and us really needed yesterday.

It felt like a search for the inner child - which I am sure all of us found. It let us forget about daily life, challenges and battles of different kinds, the daily duties and responsibilities. Just the snow, a bunch of happy dogs and us.
