Summer summary

I'm still hoping the real summer will come, but beeing realistic, it's probably time to make summary of what we had and call it summer summary :o). The biggest news get their own postings -  soon, I hope. And here's just some captured moments and important things that need to be mentioned.
 
We had wonderful, cold and windy summer day in June rowing on a lake. Fishing club's employees were kind to allow us to take dogs too. Well, looking the pictures they had, I think my dogs were smaller and looked very innocent compared to fishes that fisherman get from that lake :o). I'm very proud of my dogs, who acted just like beeing in boat would be something they do every day. Rocco in his endless kindness and loyality to me accepts all my crazy ideas and follows me faithfully where ever and Lucky in his curiousity doesn't follow but goes first :o). Of course it's impossible to be curious in the boat for hours, but then again, Lucky never feels boring when there's water around. He just looooves splash game  and never stops hoping somebody will play with him.
 
 
Near to our country home is sport center, where different big sport events are held. There's no sporty adults in our family, but usually there's also something for children and then Kelli with her cousin are representing us :o). On the picture abowe, Kelli and Jarek participated on duathlon for children witch was held within triathlon for adults. And Lucky and Rocco did their best cheerleading them :o). And got on the picture with mascots :o). And found a very dedicated little fan, who showed no interest on sport and gave all his attention to Rocco and Lucky. That I would say is right attitude :o)

 
Then daddy's new "offroad" friend :o) that gave us opportunity to see many new beautiful places we haven't reached before. The idea of the picture was to capture our "offroad" enthusiasts with beautiful yellow field on background, driving manners are safer
 

Lucky and splash game, he would play endlessly. Or in sea, or in lake or in puddle or even in bath. But swimming he goes only if there's no other choice and even then rather not.
 

  To get the real summer feeling and to have something to take to deers and elks for Christmas present we made hay (as every year). And dogs of course were helping - on best sheepdog-way they could :o)  

 
And last but not least - birthday present daddy made for me:

Every girls dream, isn't it? In case you don't think so, and you don't even know what it is :o) - it's agility waving poles set, on metal and everything. Just as good as "professional" ones. It was booooring to push all the poles one by one, in straight line and with correct distance between them to the ground and just after couple of days pull them all out again as lawn had grown too high.

Rocco is 11 years old

 It's Rocco's 11th birthday today.
Happy birthday, my dear old friend!!!

This year too Rocco got 2 birthday partys. First on tuesday already. We visited Inna and it was really very very happy day for Rocco with all the beautiful Sheltie-babes around him. He was so happy he didn't even take the "candies" I offered  - Rocco, who is usually like vacuum cleaner as it comes to food. Pictures are taken with phone, but it's sweet memory of wonderful evening we had. On second picture Pippi and Rocco are tired and sleeping next to me, but all the younger dogs continued party without them :o)
 


 And here's the birthday party with family :o)

Whish you many, many more years with us, my dear sweet old friend. You are so very dear to all of us.
