Even in Finland it has been very hot during this weekend.

It was hard to work in the garden because of that and eventually I gave up: I went swimming with the boys.

Today is my first “anniversary” in this house. I celebrated it by swimming in the pond for the very first time (last summer was cold and rainy so I did not swim at all).

Mostly I spend the time in the pond on the “mattress” using the boys as motors for moving around. Even in that short time I managed to get sunburned.

The warm weather has hit us & the bad boys are exhausted with the heat.  Today we went walking on the heath at 6:30am.  We are still practising the Sit/Stay.  At the end of the walk it was 14 degrees and getting warmer. 

The boys are looking fairly exhausted but sitting like professionals in the shade. 

At the end of the walk the boys found some scientists who had spent all night on the heath.  They were fairly surprised by the two boys, with renewed energy, saying hello.

Last week passed my Grade 1 gun dog club, this week passed KCGC Silver.  Exhausted!

It is Alfie’s birthday today and he turns 2.

Happy birthday to Alfie!

Baxter passed his grade one gundog test :-)  After the boys had a relaxing walk in the forest.
