Erk's 'nine to five'

Erk is also great at providing academic support ;)

Happy Independence Day!

Erk is 9 months and some days. Do you notice any difference with the ears? :P (No more grey baby hair!)

Erk made a new friend

On one beautiful Saturday we went hiking again. This time with Mari-Liis, Sten and Luks. Luks is a young German Pinscher, who also loves to run. So him and Erk got along just fine.
Mari-Liis (from Fotovabrik) took all the photos.

Luks and Erk being pretty

Oh, Luks found a branch

I have to get to it first!!!

Oh no, he wants it too :(

Crap, he is gaining on me!

I won!!! :D

 

"Speed... I am speed!"

dogsitting a friends collie

Last week we had two dogs for a while, as I agreed to babysit a friends dog for a day and night. Dogs name is Riva, she is a collie/bordercollie mix and already 13 years old. I think Erk was very pleased to have some company, although she was too old to play and run all the time. Nevertheless, we had great time:

watching Simpsons in the morning

lurking under the table, both dogs were soooooo hungry all the time :P

resting and pampering each other after a long walk

product development :)

Erk has destroyed some 3-4-5 of his toys, that we used in agility. Basicly he's just got too sharp teeth :) But the squeeky things inside those toys still worked, so I decided to make a toy that would last a bit longer. And voila! Here it is:

Handmade of leather, small enough to fit to the pocket, leftovers from other toys recycled :P And as the beta-version proved, perfect in agility.

endurance dog Erk, 20 km - piece of cake!

This Saturday we went to a running event, that took place in Elva. The weather was lousy, rainy and dark. The plan was to walk 20 km track or as much as Erk could bear. I am happy to announce that he lasted all the way and even in the end he still had energy to chase the ball. 

It is unbelievable that he is only 6 months old, still a puppy! But what a strong and wonderful puppy :)

a rainy day...no, THE rainy day!

What do you think about rainy days? Hate them, love them? I know, Estonians have a saying "koerailm", so what's that supposed to mean?! Only dogs go out? Yeah, right... well, I am not that dog! 

Anyway, Monday was one of the first days this fall with a quite bad weather. In the morning, when I went out to pee, it just hit me to the face on the door. I didn't want to go out at all and frankly, I only did it for Helen, because she was already out there and calling me. Luckily we have some benches in our garden, so I crawled under one and peed there! Clever, aren't I? :)

PS. Sorry, no photos this time. My owners were busy holding umbrellas and hoods and jackets.
