Puppies 2 months old

Today Lucky's puppies got 2 months old. And today was the last time we saw them all together, on Sunday they will go to their new homes.
It was wonderful to see them growing for the last 2 months. I will miss them, their funny games, their sweet "hi" to us, their puppy smell. On our way home today, no matter I tried to be brave, tears just came to my eyes one after another. But still, I-never-become-a-breeder person in me has calmed down ;o) , all puppies will have good new families.
So, together with their daddy, we can only tell them to behave very well as mum teached them; to read the standard every day and develop according it ;o) ; and to write and send photos to daddy too. 

Thank you Karin, for sharing your knowlege, thank you for letting us to get part of all the joys and worries that are connected to growing up the litter. It was really wonderful to be part of it.

Spring

It's wonderful spring outside in Estonia, I think the best time of the year. To share some of it with you, here comes the spring summary
 First 2 pictures are made in the end of March. There was a lot of snow still left, but in sunny places it was spring already. We went to walk the dogs to one of our beloved routes and found 4 elk antlers. And 2 more on next day. It doesn't happen often, that you see an elk in the forest and finding the antler is quite rare. But to find 6!!! Once in a lifetime opportunity, I believe. Probably we found the place where they held their antler wrestling before snow in autumn. 

Next pictures are made on beach near to our city home. Rocco looks so happy posing there, but in real, walks are not big joy for him any more. He harmed his paw in winter and was limping, so we went to a vet. And though the limping dissapeared soon, his joints looked bad on x-ray pictures. Vet suggested to limit his moving and Rocco seems to agree. So now, on the mornings we make a short doggy-facebook-walk :o) - dogs read, like and share the news on every tree :o)  and on the evening, if I go to long walk with Lucky, Rocco stays at home. It's really hard to leave him, so if Kelli and daddy come with us, we carry him with us too :o). This way our strenghts are equal with Kelli - otherwise we would want to go and go and go, while her legs are much shorter and get tired :o). Now, carrying +14 kg, shorter distances are very OK :o). For a 8 years old pure walking is boring anyway, so we usually go to some nice place and Rocco has possibility to take part of what ever fun Kelli will think up. Or pose for my camera like on photos below.

And here's some photos of spring at country.
