Lappies do carrots

Throw a piece of peeled carrot at either Mylo or Kiva and they will turn their nose's up at it in disgust, whole carrots are an entirely different matter.

Our walk today took us through the village and down to the sports field, we were hoping to see Mylo's girlfriend (the pot bellied pig as mentioned in previous blogs). Sadly she wasn't there, instead 3 horses were awaiting us - and Mylo does like horses. Kiva is less enamoured with them and she let it be known, very, very shrilly.

Back home and through the churchyard - Mylo, as always, up on the bench expecting a treat (well it would be cruel to deny him). Many of the graves had Christmas wreathes upon them, fresh flowers on many and, much to Mylo's delight, on one an empty sherry glass (someone must have had the contents) and a whole carrot (a treat for the reindeer no doubt). For those that don't know Finnish Lapphunds (so called because they come from the Finnish area of Lapland) are used by the Sami people to herd reindeer (much as Border Collies herd sheep). Mylo was obviously considerate and wanted to make sure that the carrot was suitable for them.

Kiva being Kiva decided to help Mylo finish it off....

Lappy days
