Best wishes for 2009 !

Going from 2008 to 2009 went smoothly this year for Tyyra. We went again during the day to the forest, but as you can see here, a winter storm arrived as we were there. Wind was really strong and snow falling, but that was not a bad thing, as during the evening, we didn’t hear that much fireworks as last year.

We also had some friends visiting, and with all the noise inside, the wind outside, and all the “meds” that Tyyra took, she was sleeping most of the time. By meds, I mean we gave “Serene UM” to Tyyra, and had “D.A.P.” also in the flat dispensing the tranquilizing pheromone. This combination worked well, Tyyra didn’t really pay attention to the fireworks from outside…

Tehtiin Tyyrasta tämmöinen video. Musiikkina on Monsoon Wedding Soundtrackilta tuttu Baraat:Mychael Danna, joka mielestämme kuvastaa Tyyran iloisen kuplivaa luonnetta varsin mainiosti.

And Tyyra can’t wait to open the package, as you can see in the video…

Artist Jaana Viitamäki (M.Ed) took two portrait pictures of Tyyra:

With the new toy, Tyyra showed us a new trick… It was a one and only time performance, and it’s good we captured it on camera…

Yes, it’s summer holidays and Tyyra can finally do what she likes a lot: swim

We got also some visitors with their dog Milo who was very found of Tyyra… You can see them play in the following video

After that, we went to see the same guests at the cottage, and although the water wasn’t too hot (only 14 degrees), Tyyra didn’t want to get out…
You can see all pictures from the visit at the cottage here

Tyyra could also be a movie star, as you see in the next video the way she acts as if it was a big drama after we cleaned her ears…

And finally, Tyyra seems to like the juggling balls… No need to write more, the next video explains it all…

Almost 2 weeks ago on a Sunday, we went on a walk in the forest at Vaattunkiköngäs. That was the last time of this winter when we could go and walk on the snow in the forest. It was already really soft at some places, as you can see even Tyyra had difficulties sometimes and since then, almost all snow if gone.

Anyway, the pictures and video can be found here

Tyyra is now officially in the veteran class (8 years old). Yesterday was the D day, and to celebrate it, she got a new toy (a lamb) and of course a special “cake”, made of ham, cucumber and reindeer ribs.

You can see all the pictures and some movies here

Tyyra is really enjoying the spring time here, walking around in the forest, trying to smell where the rabbits and squirrels are..

You can see some pictures from one of this walks here

When we get back, Tyyra’s face usually looks like this:

Should I mention we still have snow ?

And on some other really good news, we went today with Tyyra to one “match show”, just visiting, not competing, but her behavior was great. She was just excited about the event and all the dogs around, but not nervous nor aggressive to other dogs. Who knows, maybe we will see Tyyra going to some “match show” in the veteran class in the future…

A mentioned before, Tyyra is a real lappish dog nowadays. She always enjoys a good ski trip, and I can confirm that the pulling is quite impressive for such a small dog…

Tyyra pitää paljon hiihtoreissuista. Tässä olemme Kemijoen jäällä. Tyyra on vauhdissa ja innoissaan, kuten näkyy
