Strange

My mistress has trouble sleeping nowadays and asked me if I wanted to go for a walk... in the middle of a night! I couldn't sleep much either because she goes up many times every night so I followed her.

When she opended the door I saw that something was wrong - it was white everywhere. It seems that it has been winter again and it has been snowing for hours. Actually I don't care much, I like snow and ran around for a while at first. My mistress likes sunshine more than snow, I like both. And I like to be outside, no matter how the weather is.

I've been working again!

Actually I only would hand over a car to Greta who was working and follow my humans to the supermarket but Greta asked me if I wanted to work with her. Of course i did! It was a while ago I had an opportunity like that because my mistress doesn't work much nowerdays. I really like to go around and see all those happy elderly people when I come near them and they are so nice to me :-)

At home I took a walk to the sea with my mistress and checked if the water was warm yet (my humans say that it will be so warm that even humans want to swim in the sea). It wasn't so warm and I only walked a bit to fetch a stick that was in water. After that I played with my mistress who had taken my favourite toy with her. She hided it and throwed it and we had a tug-of-war... What a wonderful day!

New impressions

On Tuesday I took a course to learn how to show off Inger better. I honestly don't understand why they call it a dog show... maybe because it's always the dog who has to show how fine one's human can run in a circle together with other humans. Anyway... Inger didn't want to run as fast as I wanted so I need to take her to the course one more time, I hope it goes better then. My brother Ludde was there too with his humans to teach his mistress, and next week my sister will be there!

I didn't have a chance to play with Ludde this time because I have been limping and my humans don't think I should run much and fast. Luckily for me I visited my mum and grate-grandmum after the course and could play with them instead.

Yesterday I visited my mistress' friend Annika and we took a walk in the woods. It was a long time ago I saw so many trees and everything that smelled... I had so much to discover there and become really tired so I fell asleep on Annika's balcony. It was warm and nice there.

Today both my humans have been working and I visited Greta. We took a walk and I had much to discover around her place too. My mistress was tired when she came home and we rested together. In the evening we took a long walk together when my master came home. So now I'm tired again. Sometimes there's so much to do...

Spring

It's so warm today, the sun is shining and birds are singing everywhere. My humans say it's spring.

My mistress has become really fat and is sleeping most of the time, she doesn't play much with me anymore. Luckily for me Rickard and Amanda came to visit us with Frodo, Tindra and Hector so I have played with Hector. Rickard and my master cut the apple trees and there are branches everywhere. I can play with them and chew them and it's fun to just run around with them. Sometimes I even get my mistress to throw a branch so I can fetch it or have a tug-of-war with her.

I've been outside for a couple of hours now and I'm very tired. Time for a nap...

Learning

Inger was here today and we took a walk to the sea. My mistress wanted to train my hunting skills and Inger came to show her how to use a bird. In the beginning I had to use a lead and was only allowed to carry the bird in my mouth. Later my mistress wanted to test if I would fetch it without using a lead and I did. They throw the bird for several times and I ran after it. I showed Inger how good I'm at seeking too, at first with my favourite toy and then they hided the bird! I just loved it... I found it quickly and brought the bird back to them of course. Inger said I was so good at "bird-training" that I should take a course with my people.

I also heard that my teacher Kim had mailed my mistress. There will be school in may again! I hope all my brothers and my sister are coming, I miss them.

My other family

I visited my mum and great-grandmum, Inger and the other humans who live with them were at home too. Inger said my leg is better now and I'm allowed to run again! Bye-bye lead... :-D

My mistress and Inger discussed a huntingtraining with some bird, I can hardly wait. I just love to carry things and Inger says I'm good at it. Well... this much I already knew - I always get dogtreats from my master when I bring him the morning paper. I also will begin on a showcourse soon to learn how to show off Inger better on the next dogshow we are going to.
