Mammu 10 months old

Mammu is 10 months old, height still ca 34 cm

As we had vacation in June, we have a little more photos to share.

Sweet harmony between Rocco and Bessie :-) 

Bessie was only trying to be kind but stepped on Rocco's aura :-)

 Not very often when I get my whole trio to one picture :

Doesn't happen very often mushrooms grow in June already...

... it's more like strawberry time...

And then some posing in my mum's flowerbeds:

Mammu 8 months old

Mammu is 8 months old and 32,7cm

Mammu is our little miss sunshine, so sweet and tender. Well, most of time :-) 

She’s a little bandit at county, so excited to go out, that she definitely has to bite Rocco’s scruff. Rocco doesn’t want to go out, as the little dangerous  babe is waiting :-)

She is so crazy for the frisbee or ball, only that Lucky has to retrieve it :-), she is only cheerleading, and snipping my leg if I’m too slow :-). She has learned from Lucky, what Lucky learned from Rocco -  the hard country work – like herding the garden cart or chasing the water coming out the watering hose :-) And of course she has to try to play with cat’s every time she sees them, dust cloud is in the air when they run on mum’s garden :-)

Madeira 7 months old

Mammu is a month older again but still ca 32 cm

Madeira 5 months old

Madeira is 5 months old, her height is 30 cm has all new incisors and 8 canines :-) -   new ones are out a little already, but old are still firm in place

 She is such a sweet and happy little girl with a most tender soul. But with Personal Opinion, like every proper little girl. Showing it for example by standing in front of me and bark on me for not playing with her :-).
And Lucky is soon bold, as she likes to snap him and usually has piece of his precious coat hanging out from her mouth after that :-).
She has also learned a lot from Lucky, first barking :-), then playing soccer - I play and they run and bark:-), and snow splash games :-).                                                                                                                We now go to puppy school with Mammu. To Leader dog training school and trainer Natalja Garatsenko.  I saw Nataljas puppy class trainings when we went to agility trainings with Lucky years ago. And thought that if I some day have a puppy, I will go too. And now I got the opportunity and I'm happy. Our trainings are interesting and positive, a lot to learn for me and a lot to teach to Mammu. 

Mammu 4 months old

Her height is 28,5 cm

We had nice Christmas vacation at country:

And now, back in town, as Mammu has got all her necessary vaccinations to go out, she has been walking with Lucky and me. Which she doesn't like very much. She is quite shy girl on streets. If we start preparations to go out in town, she looks from distance and thinks that our living room carpet is very good for her :-).  

Merry Christmas from Rocco, Lucky & little Madeira

This year we made Christmas video for you instead of Christmas card. Aren't my actors just super talanted? :-)

Mammu is 3 months old

Her height is 25,5-26 cm

It has been fun and happy first month with Mammu. When we first got home, then like when Lucky moved to us, to share the responsibility ( you know, so they couldn't say later, that who bought the puppy should entertain her :-) ) Rocco and Lucky came out to meet us and take Mammu home. Worked 50% this time :-) - Rocco had probably learned the meaning of this process and welcomed Mammu much warmer then he welcomed Lucky 5 years ago. Mammu was happy to meet them and Rocco was happy to meet her and Lucky was kind of happy too... like every playboy who suddenly becomes single father of a baby girl :-) . But he got over first chock quite fast :-)
Only he has to collect all his fortune out of the reach of children :-) :

                         But it took less then a week, when puppy was allowed to sleep on his aura:-) :

As I mentioned keeping things out of the reach of children before, here's another way to do it :-)

Specially practical, considering children are greedy and very very hungry. 

That's how our little babe makes herself taller to reach the food better :-) :

As all my 3 dogs are from different countries and I'm starting to think that on different countries dogs too speak different languages :-) As when my boys bark, Mammu is a little scared. But when Lucky growls on her, she seems to thinks it means "good girl" or something and she is happy. :-)

Mammu is such a positive girl, tail waving all the time when she's not sleeping. She definitely has found her place in our family and in everybody's heart <3.

Welcome Madeira

I have more puppy news for you – different kind this time – we have little baby puppy at home. Actually you already know this puppy – from previous postings here. SHE is Lucky’s daughter from his litter with Marvitholl Passionata “Smilla”. And yes, it’s she not he this time :-). I-never-become-a-breeder person is still alive inside me, but … well, it’s a long story.  Starting with the fact, that in this litter there was only 1 boy. I was very brave for couple of weeks to think I can’t take a puppy (OK, OK 4 days :-) if I read our conversation history with Lidia, their breeder) and then, to calm down, asked, if the boy has potential owner. But finding out he did – I just couldn’t let the idea of taking puppy exactly from that litter go.  I just can't imagine there could ever be combination better then this  for me - because next to being very very beautiful, Smilla is very very sporty, healthy and smart and that is even more important for me... and of course the fact that there's 50% of my dear Lucky in all of them <3. So, as Madeira was much smaller then others, and due to that not potential breeding dog, I asked for her as a second option. But when I saw them, my “second option”  totally melted my heart by jumping on me and giving so many kisses and waving her tail for almost all the time I was there. Other puppies were friendly too, but not as excited as Madeira. So, that’s the end of this long story, she chose me <3. And now she is with us. Such a very sweet and happy little girl. Huge thanks to her breeder Lidia Beljaeva for trusting this little darling to me!!!
