Agility picture

This picture is from Agility Championchips and is taken by Teemu Keränen. This shows Jonni's good jumping technique. He jumps like an excellent jumping horse. He hardly ever knocks a pole. He is made for agility !!!!

Agility video ?

IF I succeeded in loading the video in the Picture Gallery 2 there should be a video clip taken by Milla Saari at the Finnish Agility Championchips. It contains the jumping course where Jonni and I were disqualified. Hope you can view it ? Special thanks to Milla for a) taking the video and b) sending it to me !

New pictures...

There are some new pictures in the Picture Gallery 3. I have a new folder: "Juhannus ~Midsommaren 2006" where there are few pictures of my dogs relaxing. It has been warm in the past week and the dogs are just resting and trying to find the coollest place in the house.
Juhannus in a festivity that is celebrated in the Nordic coutries in the mid of the summer. The festivities in Finland contains going to a sauna, burning a big bonfire (if the weather permits), grilling food outside and just having fun with family and friends. The festivities are held at the Eve of the Midsummer Day (just like we celebrate Christmas at the Christmas Eve unlike the people in the UK, US and other Commonwealth coutries). Our summer is special because the sun doesn't set during the mid of the summer. It is light all nigth, so sleeping can be a bit difficult.
I hope you all a very happy weekend ! WE are here celebrating the Midsummer's Eve !!!

Some pics from Agility Championchips 2006

	Here are some pictures taken by Katja Ojansivu. This shows the way Jonni executes the weavepoles. He has a good way of negotiating this obstacle. Jonni USED to hate this obstacle, because it prevented him from running fast, but with the help of a ball (or any other toy) I got more speed into him ! Now he is quite good at this.

The "birthday girl"

Miss B, Bella, Bee,..., there are lots of nicknames for our little girly from Sweden! But today, the 21st of June, was the day when my Mum and I went to Sweden and to Ulricehamn (in southern Sweden) to fetch my little girl home. I have been more than pleased with her. She has become a part of my family and she is very much loved by us all. Today we are celebrating the end of Bella's first year with us. And let there be many, many more !!!!

Summer is here ?

It is June now.......! And it SHOULD be warm, sunny,....! Rigth ? Well, NO !!! We have had something like +10 degrees Celsius, sometimes even lower temperatures. It has been shining at times but the wind is COLD !!!! So we are waiting for the summer to arrive !
One GOOD thing about this cold weather is: agility training and competing is much nicer, both for me and the for the dog. And on next Sunday (the 18th) we have the Finnish Agility Championchips !!!! To which we are going !!!!!!
Greetings and Happy and WARM Summer to you all !
Happy and Proud "Mum" of Jonni, the supadog, and Miss B, Bella Bellissima !!!
