Long time no seen. Pardon me, been so busy before holidays...

Now some things that has happened to us. *Picture warning*

First of all, Lauri has got a new buddy. She is called "Nappi" and she's a Belgian Shepherd Groenendael female. Her real name is Black Runaway's Fiia. Nappi is a very special girl, you can see her puppy pics here and her webpage here.

Nappi and Lauri are getting to know each other. Lauri seems to be a very "rough lover"   and sometimes we people have to calm him down a bit. You can see pictures of them playing here. Nappi has become bolder day by day and nowadays she's fearless when trying to catch a toy from Lauri. I recorded some minutes them fooling around with my cell phone (excuse me the not-so-good quality) and put it on YouTube. Check it here.

And here some recent pics of Nappi. She's looking like a Belgian Shepherd already!

Second thing. Lauri was in Mikkeli International Dog Show 25th of July. He was 2nd best male and got RCAC and RCACIB. It was pouring rain, but it didn't seem to bother Lauri. We, people, didn't like it that much. Our next show will be Belgian Shepherd Dog Association of Finland National Specialty Show 8.8.2009 in Helsinki. Why won't you all come there?  Then we could have a .

When not playing with Nappi or having some obedience training or tracking (we're training those too, believe it or not!) Lauri is relaxing with Otto and Taavi or playing football with Make. Pictures. He is a big boy already and I think his brain has started to develop also. He gives lots of kisses and hugs to people. We love him very much. Thank You again, Susie!

Enjoying 4-week holidays here!
