Relaxing weekend

This weekend we spent relaxing in Mykyrä. Actually, on Friday all we wanted was a weekend of rain and thunder, so we could stay inside and watch movies, read and sleep:) We’d had quite a hectic week so the prospect of going to the summer house was a nice one.

Senna had already been staying in Mykyrä for a few days during the week with her “grandparents”, Tuomo’s mum and dad. They had asked if Senna could come to stay since they were going to be there for a few days anyway. And sure she could:) She’d have a nicer time there than anywhere else. It’s strange, although we’ve only had a dog for a few months is was strangely empty when she was away for those few days. No tap tap tap running across the floor, no drink drink a drink noises and wet marks all over the floor. Not even the smell of dog when we went to bed. And I realised how much I missed that, including the smell! Anyway, she had a nice time swimming and running around in the summer house, too busy digging or chasing birds to think of us I’m sure:)

The weather was just what we hoped for, overcast and raining at times on Saturday. A lot of time was spent snuggling and sleeping together with Senna on the large blanket we put on the floor. Very cosy. On Sunday the weather turned out to be really nice, sun, blue sky and only a few fluffy clouds sailing around in the sky. We decided to go check out whether there were any blueberries in the forest. There were. And mosquitoes too. Lots of them. After picking only a handful of berries we’d had enough. Senna found a gigantic anthill that she decided to climb. Realising this was not such a good idea after all she hopped of quickly:) When we got back we picked some red currant as well, since the few blueberries we’d picked wouldn’t have made much of a crumble to speak of:). Senna was picking as well, when she realised how yummy they were! This dog really eats everything! I can’t ever remember her turning down food. Whatever food. After that she went up to the red currant bush every now and then to have some more nice berries:)

She went for a long swim as well, all the way from the shore to the end of the jetty! Then she realised that she could pick the water lily leaves, one by one, and bring them back to the shore, fun!

We did a little bit of carrying training as well with the dummy. She still wants to keep it for herself rather than return it to us, but she brought it back once at least, baby steps:)

She seems to have calmed down a bit, enough to be able to sleep next to us on a blanket and that’s really nice. We were on the floor cuddling for a long time and she’s like a warm sausage to snuggle up next to:) Tuomo settled for a snooze on the balcony when the weather was really hot one day and before long little girl was squeezing in next to him. Cute:)
