Weekly Photo Challenge: Family
Familj – de man känner mest samhörighet med, de som står en närmst. Oftast är det den egna familjen, bestående av kanske föräldrar och barn. Mitt bidrag blir min älskade Totti och hans ”tjej” och deras gemensamma valpar. Det var mycket spännande att se hur han skulle reagera när han mötte dem. Först mycket tveksamt – snarast lite rädd för de små…men det tog sig efter hand. Han nosade gärna med staket emellan…för de var ju lite oberäkneliga de där små. Kanske de ändå på något sätt visste att de hörde samman, för Totti var mycket snäll och de små oförväget nyfikna.
Jag behöver väl knappast förklara att Totti och Mille tillhör familjen?
Family – those who you feel closest to. Mostly your own family, parents and children. My entry is my beloved dog, Totti, his ”girlfriend” and his first puppies. It was exciting to see how well they got along, at first the little ones felt a bit scary to him, but later he was more confidently curious. The puppies adored him and were very curious from the start. Maybe they know somewhere that they are kin – I would like to think so.
I suppose I don’t have to explain that Totti and Mille belong to our family too?
First encounter outside the fence
Hello, little one!
Why…you are BIG…
Hey – are you our dad?
You stay there and sleep for a while now…
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Preoccupied
Upptagen…Ingen blir så fullständigt absorberad av något som Mille – och detta Något är främst vatten – vatten OCH snö innebar storslam för honom i helgen. Äntligen snö! Vi lämnade av sonen i Skövde där han studerar, och till vår stora glädje snöade det hela tiden. Vilka fina dagar för oss alla i familjen! Milles gener (gammal vattenhund från Romagna) tog fullständigt över…
Preoccupied...no one beats Mille when he finds some water AND snow! Being an old water dog from Romagna, he has not forgotten his origin…He’s ”fishing” with his paws and dips his beard and mouth into the water to catch bubbles – or whatever he sees in there. This weekend we finally got some snow and both dogs and the whole family celebrated outdoors with long walks and great joy!
Travel theme: Possibility
There’s always a possibility that we finally will have some snow this winter…
It would slow Totti down a bit…
…so I can outrun him!
For more and other possibilities, go to Ailsa’s place!
Christmas 2013 according to Mille and Totti!
Waiting, walking, waiting, eating, walking, waiting, eating – and finally sleeping! Sorry, forgot that we were being awfully much cuddled as well…!
Bullbak – Baking – and we got to taste it!
Men, Var är snön? But, Where’s the snow?
Jag spanar efter den…Me, Totti, on the look out for it!
Yes! No…this was Not what it looked like……
Jag kommer, jag kommer…I’m coming, grandma…
Snygg tyckte matte – Nice colours our mistress says…
Ska vi fortsätta nu? Should we go on now? My cones, then?
Matte fixar ljuskransen – Making the wreath for the candles
Nästan klar, och vi plockar kvistar! Almost finished, and we are helping with the left over twigs!
Gissa vad vi såg! Genom bilrutan, i regnet! Guess what we saw! Through the car window, in the rain!
Greetings, Mille and Totti!

Travel theme: Winter
So far this year, there is no real winter here in Skane, Sweden – there is no snow. There is not even frost and it’s not remotely close to zero degrees C. Last year is another story…winter was upon us in early December and lasted for several months, in fact it was one of the ”worst ”winters ever when it comes to snow, cold and endurance…
I will have to use those lovely memories from last year, Ailsa, to really show Winter.

Across the street – winter certainly came unexpected…
…but we had much sunshine
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Happy
If you are lucky to have children or animals – or both – you know that few things make you happier than watching them having fun together. These photos were taken autumn 2012, just after Mille’s recovery from his long and severe illness. He had gained a kilo or two and I think this is the first time he responded to Totti’s invitings to play. His old spirit was back! As you can see his fur is thin and dry and the curls are almost gone. But this moment was so precious to me – I was truly happy (and so were those two friends) – they had fun together again. Today Mille is totally recovered, with curls and all!
Hey, don’t just lie there…
Come on…
OK, you asked for it! Got ye!
Again…
Had it?
No…., here we go again!
For more of Happiness – go to Cee and maybe even join in!
Winter solstice ahead – take a dogwalk with me!
The days in the Northern Hemisphere will soon be at their shortest. That turning point is always something to look forward to – The winter solstice. This is the time at which the sun appears at noon at its lowest altitude above the horizon. This year, 2013, it is on the 21 of December – one week left.
Today there was a thin rift in the gloomy skies and a pale ray of sun shone through. It lasted for about five minutes. They were precious. I will show you…
I only had my phone today, because I wasn’t in the mood for photography in this fog and darkness.
Anyway, we finished our day in a little town nearby, buying Christmas presents. On a shelf, these two gentlemen resided (together with three more) Which made NZ and the charming Lonely Dog in Auckland pop up again! https://lagottocattleya.wordpress.com/2012/01/20/lonely-dog/ Sweet memories!
On our return, 3-4 p.m. it was pit black.
Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Memories
Memories, well, some say you should forget the past and only live for the future. I do not think that is a wise way of thinking. I think we all need memories to be able to live for the future. I simply had to use two quotes to make this work:
Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.
Bob Dylan
A mother’s happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
Honoré de Balzac
My children when they were small. The happiest days in my life.
Occasionally I stumble upon a student who loves books and reading…and who even stays behind in the classroom when the lesson is over!
Mille came back to life again…his severe illness almost cost him his life. This photo is from April 2012, when he was home again after a stay in hospital. He had lost at least half his weight.
A happy moment when I believed we had saved this magnificent bird. We found him exhausted under a tree and took him to a wildlife specialist. Unfortunately he couldn’t be saved in the end.
A Christmas greeting from a student – found one morning on my locker at school.
My always smart, funny, inspiring and lovely children – thank you for all the happy, hilarious and wonderful moments we’ve had together so far!
For more great memories, visit Ese!
