More photos of Nella. We start our journey home tomorrow so no more snow.

I have no idea, I have seen lots of dogs being walked all different breeds and no booties or jackets. Nella's pads are quiet rough but she seems fine. When she gets warm on her walk she sticks her whole head in the snow to cool down. It was minus 23 last week and we had gone out and left her in her outside run. We came back early as we were worried about her being cold. She was asleep in the snow on her back with her legs in the air!

It is a bit different walking the dog here. The temp was quiet mild about minus 2 but you still need lots of layers and water proof clothes. Nella the husky is allowed off lead in the forest but wears a gps tracker in case she runs off. She also wears a bright orange harness so she is visible.

As some of you know we are currently holidaying in Finland with family.  Here is my daughters husky, Nella, sharing her couch with mt 2 grandchildren. The cat is asleep on the back of the couch. I thought the animals were pretty chilled considering they don't usually have much to do with children.

Love this photo of these silver birches at the end of our street. They really live up to their name in snowy climates.

Oh did you get to the rail museum? I loved it, which was a bit of a surprise.

So sorry  Perry's Mum. 

Naww look at that lovely grey face, I have a couple of those here myself. Happy birthday to Jarrah.

Fly free Whitney. So sorry to hear of the passing of your girl.

Nash who is an almost 14 year old GSP still runs around like a loon. Jumps from object to object without a care but often comes a gutsa. I am so surprised that we haven't had a serious injury yet. The older he gets the more I worry. I have curtailed his free running and we do a lot more lead work now he is getting on. When he was younger that wouldn't have worked as he needed to be able to have a good run. Luckily my parents had stock moving lanes on their property so we had somewhere flat, with no trees and fenced. Once he is going self preservation goes out the window.

The early news tonight stated that the police believed that Egg had met a violent end but they had no evidence to support this.  The police must be fairly sure to put that in their court report, poor little Egg.

Was she on antibiotics for her ears? It may be possible that they have upset her gut flora. If so a pro biotic may help.

OMG Juice she is beautiful.

So sorry Griff, fly free Si'rena.

What a lovely poem for a beautiful girl. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry Perry's Mum, fly free lovely Perry.

So sorry Flashsmum, run free Harry.

Stunning, just stunning.

Jeff is gorgeous Rozzie abd sounds like ge is being a good little chap. Friends got a little mini foxie about the same time, they have called him Frank.

My sister has a pug called Ostentatiously Lofty, I have no idea how she came up with that. He answers to Osten, (Austin).

My whole adult life I have wished for a giant furry, newfoundland, leonberger or PMD but then I see a basset puppy and I melt. Hubby says just one dog at a time from now on. I change my mind everyday about what I am going to do.

It's great to hear about all the good doggies coming home when called!

I wish Nash's ears were not painted on when he does a runner and we all know how much he likes to run. Sometimes he is just meters in front of me trotting along without a care in the world.

So sorry to hear this VM, hugs for you and your family. RIP Tibor.

Mita that sounds like my basset, Jester, we get to the door at the vets and he puts the brakes on. He can't be dragged so I have to go and move his front legs run to his back end do those legs, back to the front etc until we are through the door. Once we are inside he complies with all requests reluctantly but he is just waiting for when he is allowed to make an escape. He won't even take treats from the vet, he looks the other way with a look of disdain.

so sorry Kirty, RIP Rockling.
