Glad Midsommar! Last weekend we celebrated the longest days of the year. A seasonal fact that does not just pass by here but is felt throughout the entire country. Midsommar is a bit like Christmas, but with light, flowers, and more parties. Normally the villages organize a...
There isn't mich left of Mogwai when she is waiting for her ball soaking wet and dripping. Fortunately, she just has to wildly shake to get back into shape. Lizzie prefers to keep it dry. Even though that does not always work out as she would...
Happy #tongueouttuesday! While I quietly sip my tea here, Mogwai lies on the couch like a draft mat dog. Soaking in the sun that falls in. Last week the doggies provided a balanced and happy note in a turbulent world. Our key to the here and now...

I think Lizzie was trying to play campfire! Perhaps to attract summer faster because she LOVES warm weather. Also, this look on her face when I asked for her paw, as if she thought: "ALL the things a pup needs to do to get a cookie!" She...
