If you mean the names we call our dogs, I found an article (in Finnish but bet you can find the list)

She is. And full of love. More than any dog we have ever had

She is not from the biggest end, that's for sure. She weights about 24 kg but that is enough when she wants to cuddle. Although the breed is originally for hunting, this particular individual is a perfect lap dog

Cute little puppy. Maybe not so easy to take care of

 

So this is why I like to live in a smallish town. And almost outskirts of our neighborhood. I have seen in our yard, of course squirrels and rabbits but also reindeers, different kinds of small rodents from small to a quite big. (I don't know how to spell the species in English) And of course a lot of insects.

In the middle of nowhere at Finnish Lapland. No roads insight. No people insight. Just silence and beautiful, calming lake

 

Oiva has been with us just over two weeks. And he took the whole family as his own. Even our Karelian Beardog has been extremely nice towards Oiva. So, everything whent better than we expected

Took me a while but now I'm laughing and wife at the other side of the room is asking why but I can't, I just can't...

 

We live a small city of Rovaniemi, slightly over 50 thousand people. Our house is at the suburbs and the forests are near. A bunny in our yard is a common sight

Oiva The Beagle (lemmings.world)
 

Oiva has been with us now for a week. And yesterday he started to explore our backyard. Most of the backup is for the dogs, so they can run around as much as they like

My favourite (lemmings.world)
 

I don't know much about poetry. But I do know this is my favorite. So sad but still full of some kind of hope

It looks quite wild, fast and furious but nobody isn't screaming or yelling and there is no blood in sight. So they are having fun. It's so strange how good the older one took "the news" when puppy arrived Edit: there's a video but I can't get the image/preview to show

Last november the sky was on fire. I've lived at Rovaniemi (Finland) over 45 years and I had never seen the sky dancing like it did on that night

Meet "Oiva" (lemmings.world)
 

We drove 450 km yesterday to get this #beagle boy. A new puppy since 2014. We lost 3 dogs within a year in 2023-2024. We got one rescue dog at november 2023 and now this little fellow. I don't know was it a decision made of common sense or a decision of the heart. Anyway, a good decision after all.
