"Cousins"

Mikael's sister and her family came on holidays from Australia in August. Nala doesn't usually get much exposure to kids and is generally unsure in their presence, but now she had no choice.

Emma (3 months) didn't pose much of a threat and was not phased when Nala stuck her nose in to smell or lick a foot or face.












Marcus (3½) was just as unsure of Nala in the beginning as she was of him. Who wouldn't be unsure when a curious dog who is just as big as you approaches, or a loud little whirlwind boy runs around you. But they did warm up to each other in the end, except when Nala tried to steal Marcus' dinosaurs and fluffy shark.


But in the end we don't know who tires each other out the most.

How did it get to be the 9th of September all of a sudden?

Nala is now over 1½ years old. She grew up and went on heat for the first time (and the crazy phantom pregnancy that followed), she had a fun weekend when we babysat her sister and looks forward to next time, she was in a number of shows during the summer (without success) including World Dog Show in Stockholm, we went on a camping adventure in Dalsland/Värmland/Dalarna in a tent, Mikael's sister and family came to visit in August whereby she got lots of exposure to children, she has started training in agility which she loves, and Mikael's company g.u.l.o has merged with Radar so there are all sorts of new things that have happened in the last 5 months of her life.

The newest thing is the Fatboy doggie lounge. Now matte & husse should have checked out the ratings of this on the net before they went and spent a lot of money on Nala but they can't help themselves. So now Nala has a gigantic, very good looking new cushion, that didn't turn out to be quite as comfortable as anticipated. We had to empty 2 bags of beans and it is still stiff, it makes a lot of noise, and the surface is slippery. Hopefully Nala will get used to it though.
