Birthday!

Congratulation! The 14th of November my wonderful, beautiful girl turned 1 year old!

I cannot believe that she is that old now! I mean that it feels like yesterday when I got that call from Asta's breeder. It's fun to think of how different it can feel. Although it feels strange to think of Asta as 1 year old it feels like she has been a part of my life forever. I cannot imagine my life without her anymore. It is impossible to do!

I took this picture of her at her birthday. The weather was not beautiful (typical Swedish Autum!) and it was quite difficult to take pictures, but I think this picture turned out okey... At least it is a memory of her first birthday!


I love you, my sunshine,
I love you, my light,
I love you forever, right here and right now...

Hello Snow! Bye Snow!

It has been snowing here in the South of Sweden. Not much but enough to make it cold and icy! Asta has already been through a winter. She was born in the middle of November and last year the cold winter was quite late... but long! She did not at all like snow or the winter at all! Too cold, too slippery and too windy.

The first picture shows what Asta looked like last year. She was so cold in the winter, but still wanted to be with us while we trained out other dogs, so she had to sit in a back pack!

Yesterday, it was different! Oh, she had so fun in the snow and played with it, ate it, but then it got cold and she wanted to go inside the house. Later we had a long walk in the forest and she loved it and did fine... but the last five-ten minutes was kind of cold, she thought. She lifted her paws and looked at me with an expression that said "Oh, if we're not home soon, I will..." but it was okey. We were home soon so I did not really get to know exactly what she ment...

In the evening Asta had to go to class. There I (tried) to teach her "heel" and to come when I call her. This was very successful if you think of the cercumstances. It was very cold, much colder than previous in the day and Asta gets cold very easy, so she wanted to go inside. Even though she wanted to do so, she was very good!

Today she played with her "sister" Disa. Disa, this very beautiful golden retriever, does not mind at all if it is snow or not. That is quite funny because she has almost got no fur at all! They played with each other, ran and chased one another and they also played with sticks! Oh, they are such a cute "siblings couple"...

Today the snow is all gone... It was a short, cold period which we both liked and disliked, but we wish it wants to come back to us until Christmas Eve...!
