Lite bilder från idag // Some pics from today
En härlig sväng med vagnen. Jag har ont som rackarns i en fot men kan motionera mina hundar ändå! Himla glad att jag köpte min Golden Wagon alltså! (Och jadå mamma, jag ska kolla foten..)
We took a ride with the wagon today, it was as always really nice. I have had pain in one of my feets for a while, but with the wagon I can still exercise the dogs! I'm so glad I bought it!
Efter träningen så var det dax för lite "vem är det som äger benet" tid.
After the work out it was time for some "who owns the bone" questions.
På eftermiddagen fick vi fint besök av bland annat den här lilla mannen.
In the afternoon we got some visitors.
The look of this little guy says more than thousand words!

Välkommen Aslak // Welcome Aslak
Vår käre vän Micael har uppfyllt en dröm och skaffat sig en alldeles egen grå/vit Alaskan Malamute!! Hans namn är Snöviddens Aslak och han är alldeles alldeles underbar!
Our dear friend Micael fullfilled a dream by getting himself a grey and white Alaskan Malamute!! His name is Snöviddens Aslak, and his just adoreable!
Eftersom vi tillbringar lite tid tillsammans med Micael så hoppas vi att Aslak ska bli en naturlig del av flocken. Det har börjat över all förväntan! Strax tycker verkligen om Aslak och inomhus så leker han så fint med han. Ute är Strax lite för klumpig och burdus, så Aslak tycker att han är lite otäck. Bonni, som jag var rädd skulle vara lite väl skarp mot det lilla miraklet - ja hon har verkligen varit alldeles otroligt duktig. Hon leker så oerhört fint med han, låter han "vinna", om han tex har en pinne så drar hon lite i den - men bara precis så att Aslak till slut får den. Det är faktiskt rörande att se när dom leker.
Since we spend some time with Micael, we hope that Aslak will become a well integrated member of our pack. It has really started off well! Strax is playing very well with little Aslak when indoors, outdoors Strax is a bit too clumsy, Aslak thinks he's a bit too scary when outside. Bonni has exceeded all my expectations!! I was worried she would be too harsh with a puppy, but she plays so soft with him, I'm just amazed! If Aslak has a stick or a toy, Bonni tries to steal it, but only just so that Aslak will win and be able to keep it in the end. I am moved over her ability to handle him.
Aslak är 10 veckor gammal, och en riktig hjärtekrossare!!
Aslak is 10 weeks old, and a real heartbraker!
När Aslak blir stor och stark - vilket han kommer att bli med råge - så ska Micael använda han som draghund. Om vi har tur kanske vi kan sätta ihop ett 3-spann en gång i framtiden! Det skulle vara sjukt kul!!
When Aslak becomes a big and strong young man, Micael will use him as a sledgedog. If we're lucky, perhaps we will be able to let all 3 dogs work together infront of a sledge! That would just be awesome!
Det känns riktigt roligt att Aslak har kommit in i vårt liv och vår lilla flock. Jag är övertygad om att Aslak och Micael kommer att bli ett riktigt radar-par! Och du kära bloggläsare kommer kanske att få se och följa Aslaks liv genom den här bloggen, det vill säga - så länge Aslak och Micael väljer att vara en del av vår flock :-) Vi hoppas att det blir länge :-)
We are so glad to have Aslak in our lives and our little pack. I am convinced that Aslak and Micael will become a great team! And you dear reader might be able to follow the life and development of Aslak through this blog, if Aslak with master decides to stay in our pack will say :-) We certainly hope so, because it's two really nice guys :-)

En underbar semester // A wonderful vacation
För att förvirra dig min kära blogg-läsare så kommer det lite bilder huller om buller från våran semester! Vi börjar med sista dagen först :-) Vi ställde ut på Svensk Vinnarutställning i Norrköping (grattis Annicka och Giza till Svensk Vinnar titel!!) och det gick inte alls bra, samtidigt som vi fick Very Good på båda hundarna....enligt domaren så var alla herdar som han hitills sett (när vi var inne i ringen) av dålig kvalite, och han tyckte inte alls om varken Strax eller Bonni.
På rasspecialen gick det lite bättre. Domaren var jätteduktig och stenhård, på ett positivt sätt. Strax fick Very Good vilket jag tyckte var väldigt bra. Bonni blev bästa juniortik, fick excellent men inget CK. Han tyckte verkligen om Bonni sa han, och anledningen till att vi inte fick ett CK var Bonnis uppförande.
Hon har tydligen kommit i värsta spök- och tonårsåldern och har egentligen varit väldigt konstig hela veckan. Hon blev till exempel jätterädd för två kråkor - normalt älskar hon att jaga dom! Hon har protesterat vilt när jag har bett henne om att sitta eller lugna ner sig, varit jättekramig och jättetuff, och så plötsligt rädd för typ en fågel eller ett alldeles vanligt brunnslock...
Jag tyckte domaren gjorde helt rätt i att inte ge Bonni ett CK. Självklart hade det varit roligt att få det, men om en hund inte kan uppföra sig normalt och visar den typen av reservation i ringen ska dom inte vinna heller. Skönhet och mentalitet måste gå hand i hand.
Swedish Winner Show, Norrköping 2011.
Strax also got Very Good. Apparently he fell in love with some girl...he refused to eat, drink or "talk to me" after we left the show...and he was sad for about 500 km. When we arrived home the heartache was forgotten :-)
Strax and Bonni having a blast at the beach!

What would a vacation without fun on the beach be?! We visited a campsite called Sandvik, and they had a great beach for dogs and their owners!!
A tired Strax at Vadstena campsite...
Bonni in Vadstena - is it the sun our the holy Birgitta she has seen?
Moonshine over Husaberg campsite in Askersund.
My precious girl.
My outstanding boy.
These little guys patrolled the campsite every morning. Being very close to the dogs...there's a fine line between courage and stupidity :-) No animals were hurt during this photoshoot :-)
A nice little restuarant in Hjo.
Strax enjoying caravan-life!
Awesome sunset over Hjo.
Full moon!!!!!!!!
Little Bonni on the lookout.
The judge and me having a chatt after he placed Bonni as number one junior female. I was so surprised!
Bonni, me and Paul Stanton.
Strax and me at the White Swiss Special.
It was a very warm and sunny day, and I would like to thank the White Swiss Club for a great arrangement!! It was such a pleasure and a lot of fun to attend!! Very well done - I'll give the Club a CACIB for the show! I will certainly try to make it to the Special in 2012!
At the White Swiss Special we had a very knowledgeable and thorough judge. He gave Strax a Very Good, which I was very pleased with, and Bonni got Excellent and became best junior female. She acted a bit strange, apparently she is in her worst “teenage-time” right now…she was shy, afraid of the people and dogs running after us in the show ring, and a bit reluctant towards the judge. I have never seen her like that and was caught by surprise. The whole week she has been acting rather weird, suddenly she was scared of two birds…her most common and favoured prey. She reacts strongly at the most common things, and sometimes like a brave heart in less common situations. I guess there are a lot of hormones running around in her body and mind, and she is trying to sort out the grown-up life. With her high energy level and out of proportion-reactions she has been a piece of work this passed week. Anyway, the judge liked her a lot, but we did not get any more then Excellent due to her behaviour. I fully agree with his decision, scared and nervous dogs should not be awarded and win. Both beauty and mentality must go hand in hand!!
At the Swedish Winner Show we got Very Good on both dogs. The judge didn’t like any of my dogs, and frankly, I was not too found of him either. Very well, lessons learned – we will never attend a show for the same judge again, and I think I’m not alone about this thought. Many beautiful and great dogs went home with Very Good or less, and the rather rude and unfriendly manner of the judge made most dog-owners irritated and upset.
To sum up our vacation – we had such a great time, a lot of fun, serious loads of excellent food, some nice Amarone wine (my new favourite!) and an awesome time with the dogs. We met a lot of nice and friendly people, it was fun to meet everyone at the Special and to see most of them again at the Winner Show, and I really hope we can repeat this next year!

Dagarna framöver och några gamla bilder// The days ahead and some old pictures
Strax, about 11-12 weeks old
Helgen efter är det Svensk Vinnare i Norrköping som gäller. Fick PM:et idag och det är 23 vita som är anmäld. Förmodligen är det ett gäng som har valt NKK:s Bjerke utställning istället, det är ju samma helg om jag inte minns helt fel. Hur som helst, det kommer att bli superroligt det också!
Today we will wash and clean up the dogs, do some manicure and stuff like that, and there will probably be no time for the video today either. I have to wash and pack my own stuff as well, because tomorrow we head off for the White Swiss Special in Askersund!! We are so looking forward to it!! Bonni have had a minor cut on one of her paws, I certainly hope that it’s completely healed on Saturday; otherwise I only have one dog to show.
Next weekend we will be at the Swedish Winner Show in Norrköping, 23 White’is will attend, it’s gonna be great!
Wish us good luck – I will try to update my blog also while travelling, but I’m not sure if I will make. If there are some breakings news/results I will post it on FB!!

Strax, 9 months old and becoming BOS!
