  • Noisy indeed. Losing a pet is always hard. And I am sorry for your lost. We lost three dogs within a year and a half. Now we have 2 again

    Say hi to Oiva

    Oiva is now six months old. And he is gonna be a big boy

  • I don't get the above either but four years old can't decide to post a pic or not. That's why his face is blurred. But as I said, I also don't understand situation like you described

  • I won't post Identifiable pics of my kid's if they are under 18 or if I have their permission

  • I will try

  • I do know how to, but my health is so bad I can't do these type of activities with him. That is what makes me sad

    Ice fishing

    My son (4yo) went ice fishing with his kindergarten group. Nobody didn't catch anything but I was told everyone had fun. I feel like s*it because I can't do these things with him. But when he's happy so am I

    Baby must sleep ....

    ... so baby can cause mayhem all over and again

  • Toveri is s former officer of Finn7 Army and he knows that we have 1300 km long border with Russia. Even though Russian army is mostly in Ukraine Finland can't be ignorant about Russian threat. Fortunately Finnish army has good intelligent department and they know where Russian troops are

  • We have a fence. Almost all of our backyard is for dogs too

    Spring of 2024

    Last spring, at State-maintained site where anyone can make a fire and for example go for a hike. I am not fit anymore for hiking but the view was beautiful

    Little pond

    Small pond somewhere between Ivalo and Inari, Finnish Lapland. My daughters and I go every summer "higher" than Rovaniemi where we live, at the Arctic Circle. This was first COVID-19 summer in 2020. #nature #finland #lapland

    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...

    Nature is outside our windows

    So this is why I like to live in a smallish town. And almost outskirts of our neighborhood. I have seen in our yard, of course squirrels and rabbits but also reindeers, different kinds of small rodents from small to a quite big. (I don't know how to spell the species in English) And of course a lot of insects.

    Lakeside view

    In the middle of nowhere at Finnish Lapland. No roads insight. No people insight. Just silence and beautiful, calming lake

    Front yard bunny

    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
