Dog park

Today Linnea, Agathe and I went to the agility park again. It was a tough mental-training session because there was a lot of dogs today. First a nice small dog, not a problem, they kept away from each other after saying hello. Then a golden retriever came in, loose (Mom will get this)... Marley went first, then Ärtan and it was fine, they played or ran around. Then Daisy got to say hello, she is very frightened of them, but it went okay. She nipped her a few times while all of the dogs were running playing, and then she came back to me and didn't mind the other dogs. Agathe got to train with Daisy because Ärtan wouldn't listen to her, she was following me everywhere haha.
The great thing about the park is that the people there actually know dogs and the dog language(!!). It is so nice to meet people whom actually understands your dogs and accepts your decisions! 
It doesn't look like she likes it, I know, but this is actually her favorite time of the day. She loves "dancing" because for her it is like massage and afterwards she always craves hugs for a few minutes.

ETC

I am sick of people not picking up their dogs shit here. The other day I picked up Ärtans and then turn around just to step in another dogs poop. Fun times....

Yesterday Linnea and I went to a newly opened dog/agility park with the dogs. It was real fun for us and the dogs. When we were getting ready to leave a girl with her to dogs came in (one old and one young), Ärtan ran straight up to them of course.. But they started playing and kept on playing for a looong time. Eventually I let Daisy go and then she started playing with the young dog too, so it was a real fun thing to see when you have dogs that are usually quite hostile.
4th year has been fun, we are doing a lot of practical things. Lately we have been taking Jugular vein blood samples from cow, calves, sheep and goats, we have been doing tuberculin tests on cow and pigs, treat sick cows with fluids and meds.

Happy Halloweeeeen!




Endless night party

Agathe invited a few of us to the Desperado's Endless night party, which was amazing. It is not possible to buy the tickets, but with some contacts she got a few vip tickets for us! There were silent discos, a hotel lobby, dancefloor, concert, free drinks and food, an dlots of other fun stuff!

I still go riding, eventhough Hela has moved to Slovakia for a year. Last weekend she was back in Warsaw visiting so we went riding, but I had gone riding the day before. I rode barback which I have not done in in 5 years, the horse was superskinny and I am out of shape, so I had ulcers on my butt and did not want to ride. I brought tee, blankets and a book and whatched while Jess and Hela rode instead.
Such a sweet dog, they found her as a puppy, abandoned outside of a shop, and took her back with them.
