Midsummer and milkteeth

Long time no write, a lot of things have happened in the little life of Senna but I have been very busy lately. Last weekend we celebrated midsummer together with a few friends in the Åbo archipelago on the island of Norrskata. A beautiful place we all had a nice time albeit a bit tiring for Senna, new place, new people. She was done for it every night at 21.00. Luckily we had our own cabin were we could put her to sleep away from the hustle and bustle. And she was very happy for us to do so as she readily hopped into her bed and curled up, sighing hard, falling asleep within minutes.

She got some swimming practise as well and her swimming seems to be a bit more coordinated now, less splashing around and more peddling forward:)

Senna has started loosing her milkteeth. Finally:) Right now she has double teeth in her lower jaw at the front. I was feeling them to see if they would come out, but not quite yet. She has already lost a few and new ones have come out. She's not half as "bitey" as she used to be either, which is nice

This weekend we spent in Mykyrä. The weather has been amazing and we've had two days of lazing around, sunbathing and swimming. Senna likes to walk around in the shallow water close to the shore, splashing and blowing water through her nose every now and then:) She's been asleep for much of the time though, since it has been quite hot. Today we did some gardening work and she helped out dragging the bushes and branches around on the lawn. For every branch I added to the pile she would drag another one away from it, settling next to me chewing happily on it.

In the afternoon we found a viper on the patio, close to her outside bed! Luckily we found it before her and could kill it or she might have been bitten, perhaps thinking it was a friend wanting to play. The best thing would have been if she'd shown spontanious fear, but Senna being Senna fear is not part of her vocabulary. At least not very often:) As it was she was mildly intrigued, and we probably made her even more curious, since we insisted she stay away from it. Hopefully there will be no more of those this summer, at least not so close to the house.

I went forest strawberry picking yesterday with Senna. She was very interested in what I was picking, must be something very good surely?:) So I gave her one and she must have liked it because she went picking on her own later on in the evening. We could see the tall grass moving slightly at the place where we found the berried and when I walked up to it I could her munching noises:) Then Senna popped her head up as if to say: "hey mum, these are nice":) Let's hope she leaves us some!

Senna's been limping a bit lately after waking up and after getting the advice that the puppy food we've been feeding her might be too nutritious, making her grow too fast, we started incorporating a bit of adult food in her diet. Unfortunately last week she got another bout of diahorrea. It cleared up, only to return last night. Either she's eaten something bad at the summer house or she's reacting to the new food. We'll see how it goes this week. If it continues we'll have to try out another brand.
