He just loves when I chase him around in the house

If Im not aware he will grab it and run out into the garden with it and hoping I will chase him there too

Too much snow to give him that pleasure now , his toy will be gone for months under the snow

And it is the only one I have left inside

When spring is coming I always find loads of his forgotten toys underneath the snow, stuck in the ice

 

Mark and Aiko always plays together, I know Aiko will love the 5 weeks that are ahead

 

He is ready for you Mark 😍

My marvelous dog♥

The love

The humor

The personality

He has it all ♥

I think it should be on prescription; a pet for everyone 🙏 I think the world would be a better place 😍

My King Aiko

Always there

Joyful

Always ready to play

Invites me

Taking his yellow duck in his mouth

Tossing it around

Up in the air

And then he runs after it

Stops

Looks at me

Coming mom?

Out eating our dinner

Best restaurant ever

Lucky to find my lakes again

Even tho it's ice on them

Lovely surroundings

Sun in our cheek

Wind in our hair

 

My King was obviously not satisfied with his dried duck meat

 

I'm having liver pate

Did I share

Yes

Of course

When my King demands

I obey

 

SImple as that

He is such a cool dude

He has his personality

I guess that is because I let him be who he wants to be

I don't treat him as a dog

He is my best hiking companion

I'm chatting with him all day long

He makes me laugh

We play football together

 

This is like cursing in the church for those of you that thinks that the dog should obey you

Well so be it

Aiko obeys when he thinks it is ok to obey

 

He is of the breed Finnish Lapphund, a Suomenlapinkora

They herd reindeers normally, they can herd sheep too

This breed loves snow and Aiko can hold both warmth and cold - his coat keeps him balanced

He loves to be laying out in the snow, all covered up, totally white

He dislikes male dogs

He loves females

He loves playing around

He has lots of toys and especially cuddle toys

He likes to think they are his bitches

 

Hehe

They say that the dog often resembles the owner

LOL

Beware Mark, lol beware

Poor man

 

Group challenge: My dog and me

 

It may sound corny, but Cookie and I have a very special relationship. I know he wouldn't cope without me and I probably wouldn't be the same without him.

Aiko is the coolest dude I know, well of course you Flickr dudes are really cool too, but his way of begging is probably cutest 😁

 

I think I have to rewrite the saying "Sharing is caring" with

 

"Staring is sharing"

 

King Aiko and his brown eyes gets what he wants, always.

 

That's my guy

The King of my heart, well maybe he must be called the Prince from now on

Theehee

 

When we are out hiking and this guy stops, looks at me and licks his mouth I know he wants to stop and have a break

And a break means eating my food

 

"So mom, hand over the liver pate, you can take my dried duck-treats"

 

I guess that is something that lies deep in us, we think what others have are always the best

 

Being aware of what you have is indeed important, than you will cherish it, take care of it, nourish it - either it is people close to you, your surroundings, things you have, things you have got rid of, the freedom you have, the small moments of joy - wow, so many, many things we have close to us and we don't even give them a thought

 

If you don't know what you have close to you - well, how can you be aware of it and cherish?

It's a kind of Catch-22 isn't it

"I'm ready mom, my wintercoat is on, lets disappear into the wilderness, but please not so deep snow this time...."

 

I always obey, of course - I think...

Whenever I see straight forward, no mirror, this is what I see.

If I see in the mirror I see me.

But, wow, I'm much more than what I see.

 

A bit poetic for you today 😁

Cheking if there is anybody who needs his help

He is such a herder

If we are 3 out hiking and one of them turns to go home he will barely move

His herd is not complete

So he waits

Bites a stick

Roll around

Wants go back to check where the last person went

Such a sweet dog he is

 

Finnish Lapphunds are reindeer herders from the start, they herd whatever you set them too

 

Even me

If he wants to go home and he is exhausted he bites my legs to get me moving in the right direction

 

Yes it was a bit annoying, but I understood what he was doing

 

Love that dog

Aiko

You are so loved

You fill my life with joy

I smile at you each time I see you

And luckily that is a lot

You are mine

I'm yours

You are not only filling the frame of my life

You are filling my heart

Geez I love this dude 😁😁

no other spring is around, so we are enjoying what we have 😄

I adore My Man

Simple as that

 

He steals not only hearts

He steals whatever there is of clothings, especially if it's made of wool

He wants me to chase him

And wow does he love that

So picture me here, in the middle of the road - running after him, trying to take the pink mitten from him, touching his back when I reach him, he takes a quick turn and runs even faster

Yes we look peculiar

Who cares

I don't

I love bonding

Whether they have 2 or 4 legs 😊

Dogs (pets) are all about love.

You are giving love and you are receiving love.

It's a non stop thing.

Unconditional love, both ways, always.

Cuddling, hugging, playing, chatting, laughing, hiking, crawling, encouraging, melting.

 

Of course it's healthy for you.

 

We should be born into this world with prescription on some kind of pet.

 

Geez, I love this dude.

 

I give you Aiko and he is definitely hugging you all, he loves hugs, loads.

 

Thank God for this dog!

He chose us for a reason, I'm so sure of it

 

We were on the look out for a mixed breed dog and didn't quite find the one we wanted.

So we decided that we should look for qualities we needed to be in a dog and found this breed; Finnish lapphund

 

On April 21st 2014 I suddenly got this strange message in my head, totally out of nowhere: "The dog is born"

 

And I said it out loud and my family looked at me, "OK Mom is going strange again....."

I didn't even think of it anymore.

 

I continued searching for the dog. Found some breeders, mailed them and put me up on lists and did actually get no's from them all.

 

Then out of the blue one of the breeders contacted me, she had had a cancellation, we talked on the phone, we had a very nice chemistry and were invited up to her place to say Hi.

There was 8 dogs in the litter and they were all over the place and I could't see the difference on any of them, all were very cute.

 

Then I thought I needed some help (yesyes, I know :D) and said inside "The dog we are supposed to have must show himself", and what happend the moment I had finished the thought, hehe - one of them started to circulate around me several times while I was sitting on the grass.

He sniffed at me and I took him up and said that this little chap seemed interested.

The breeder said he was one of the two that were available.

 

Wooohoooo!!

 

And what date was he born, hehe - I almost fainted when I noticed that it was the same date as I got this strange message in my head.

 

Meant to be, yup.

Best dog for me ever, yup.

 

Will he keep me company, yes yes - in lonely days, in happy days, in ordinary days.

I'm EvaThrilled to keep him in my home, that was not necessarily an option on the path I have chosen now.

 

King Aiko in my heart, definitely!

He loves to chill his tummy on the snow. When he goes out on the porch he climbs on top of the snow (it's 1 meter snow in the garden now) and lays down and has a pretty nice view to the world out there.

How could I ever survive if I shouldn't have the King in my life any more, wow 🙏

Brown eyes

Dark hair

All muscles

Hair on his chest

 

My forest companion

My hiking companion

I guess he will be my best ever

He never complains

When he gets tired, he stops and

licks his mouth

 

Looking at me

 

Treats mom?

And if he grabs a stick and lay down, well then I know he is pretty satisfied

 

Yes, he is a dog

Lol

Best dog ever

For me

I don't think Aiko was too thrilled on this enormous hike we took, so he gave me this look several times....

 

I realized at least that carrying a cam is no problem on long hikes, I thought actually it would be a burden.

 

But I guess my EvaThrilled feelings took the weight.

 

It was sooo fun to click with a real cam 😂

 

And all this thrill thanks to my FlickrFriend 🙏

  

What a nice companion

He doesn't care about the weather

Never grumpy

He never gets tired

Just a cuddle or two

And feed him with a treat or a stick whenever he wants a break

 

I love my hikes

....and a special Good Morning to

 

You

 

❤❤❤

My King Aiko is surely a snow dog

He can lay on his viewpoint and be totally covered with snow

His coat is so warm and fluffy

He really enjoys this weather

Here he is inviting me to throw him a snowball

His eyes and attitude is always easy to tell

Waiting for Mark, he has disappeared into the Viking world in one of the history centers we have here 😊

 

Lots of sheep on the hike we are about to take towards a Viking farm, Aiko is waiting patiently 😁😌

This guy has such a marvelous coat

It's the softest there is

And he has loads around his face and especially around his neck

It works like the best pillow ever

 

I had to take quite a lot off, he normally doesn't like it

But now he obviously thought it was quite lovely

Today we have 25C, I'm definitely not built for this heat

And neither is my King

 

I'm not complaining tho, I just adapt

We walk in the evening and do little outside when the heat is on :D

Well, it looks like she took this. :) Our poor baby is having to spend a night (or several) at the vet's office . . .

 

We just went through several nights at an emergency vet facility with Chloe- who is recovering well- but now Angel is sick, too. Diagnosis of HGE- onset of which is VERY rapid, and no idea of a cause . . . We are almost to the point of burning the entire yard for lack of anything else to try . . .

 

Research shows that miniature schnauzers are common sufferers . . . We are hoping and praying that Sidi does not turn up sick, too. I wish our health care insurance covered our fur babies. We are fast approaching a wall with the vet bills, which is horrific, and no reflection on the great care that our dogs have received in both facilities- these folks are GREAT and caring. Just a sad fact that funds are not infinite . . . Doing the best we can.
