Jaaka's hufamily are off to somewhere warm for half term meaning that he and Taavi have come to stay so I get my cream male after all, well for a week or so anyway. On arrival, and after the first manic 5 minutes as the 4 dogs reacquainted themselves with each other, we took them for a walk across the fields - nice walk, nice scenery, nice conversation, well behaved dogs - bloody muddy underfoot :-(
I have a feeling that I will be doing quite a bit of dog and floor cleaning over the next week.
At 4 months Jaaka is still a puppy but I have yet to see a more confident little dog - he quickly made himself at home finding the toy box and sussing out how the dog flap worked, something that a couple of our older and regular visitors have yet to achieve ;-)
In the afternoon we took the 4 dogs into town - Louise's hairdresser is a bit of a Mylo fan (the girl has taste) but, having seen a photograph of Jaaka and Taavi was also keen to see dogs of the other colourways - you know what hairdressers and hair colourants are like - so off we went, 4 dogs in a Jeep.
Walking through any town centre with a Lapphund is always an experience, with 2 even more so, but with 4, now that was something memorable - we lost count of the number of times people said "all you need now is a sled" and "look at those Huskies" - memo to those that are NOT in the know "They're not Huskies - they're Finnish Lapphunds". Entering the hairdressers was an experience too - 4 happy lappies and loads of hands to stroke them.
Once home it was time to get the dogs fed and settled for the evening. I think that what follows says it all:
Taavi and Kiva have become an item
OK half pint - the starfish is mine
Lappy Days indeed
