Humans get this view, but Hullu might be having a better time.

It’s just not the sheep. Judging horses and birds.

Sheep in Iceland and pups in the US. The same judging stare.

They thought summer cam was all fun and games. Bath-time.

Lapphund camp is exhausting.

3750 miles from home.

The humans are in Iceland, the dogs are at Lapphund summer camp, and the cats are running the house (with some assistance from the house-sitter).

Hullu found the rats this morning and got his Barn Hunt novice title.

Villi and Hullu thought this was easy. Their human is feeling their age and lack of fitness and the allergic reaction from running through long grass and nettles. Anyway, the boys got their AKC FIT DOG Star-Spangled Scurry award.

Wet dogs and rain clouds.

By getting qualifying runs in exterior and containers, Villi completed his scent work novice title today. He’s really figuring out how to use his nose.

Villi finding birch scent.

We had fun smelling for things today. In his first scent trial ever, Hullu got two Qs in interior and exterior. Villi got a few Qs too and graduated from novice interior to advanced.

Forgot to start my watch for my workout this morning. Dropped my toast on the floor. Turned my softboiled eggs into hardboiled. Leaving this afternoon for a scent-work trial up in Idaho this afternoon. Probably should just go back to bed until then.

For 15 years my little weather station has been collecting data. Never have we seen 100 degrees. Previous all-time high was 98.2 on August 1, 2020. Already 99.1 today. Unfortunately, we might join the infamous triple digit club.

6:42am vs 1:44pm. Why can’t it be morning forever?

Apparently the dogs are learning how to stop and smell the flowers at school today.

We had a lightning storm last evening. It produced no rain, but did provide a pretty sky. Hullu’s favorite spot at the house is atop the sod roof overlooking his domain.

The human dropped a brick on top of their foot. The puppies were at school so Lumi is nursing it better. She specializes in acupuncture with her claws.
