Midsummer

We spent the Midsummer weekend at a summer cottage. The hurricanes enjoyed cottage life. They were running in and out, around and around. Kumma was happily playing with children. Neeo went to check the neighbours, but came quickly back with a strange dog behind him. Next day Neeo's back leg was swollen, and he was limping. I'm pretty sure the stranger didn't touch Neeo, but he might have hurt the leg when running back. Or then it was caused by something else. What's important is that now the leg is recovered.

The little puppy is not so little anymore. Kumma weights now 8.6kg, more than his big brothers. Kumma and Neeo are playing and running a lot together. Training sit is progressing nicely. I'm now adding duration, and using a release word each time. There are plenty of other topics in our training list. Yesterday I wanted to take Kumma to visit an agility trial. Plan changed as Kumma got diarrhea. He vomited a couple of times at night. Today I have given him small rice portions with lots of water. He is eating well, drinking, and has not vomited anymore.

I entered Hoppu to a special IG breed club show. It is an unofficial show accepting also neutered males. Last year Hoppu's mother Sade was the best veteran, at the age of 13 years. Neeo's mother Nina-Rosa, 12,  was recently chosed as the best veteran at the club show in Czech. I love to see old dogs enjoying shows! Why didn't I enter Neeo as well? Because his focus is in socializing, and not in nice ring behaviour :)
