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

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

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.

Kena nädalavahetus Tallinnas

Sai jälle käidud Tallinnas ja laupäeval käisime koos Ergiga ka rannas. Kuigi oli väga kõva tuul ja korralikud lained, siis paistis vähemalt päike ja ilm oli sügiseselt ilus. Rannas ei olnud palju inimesi ja koera sai lahtiselt jooksma lasta. Muidu ei ole koeraga nn plaažil viibimine lubatud, aga kuna pole rannahooaeg, siis vilistasime sellele.Koer oli igaljuhul väga õnnelik vabaduse üle, lasime tal joosta edasi-tagasi, nuuskida, palliga mängida. Üritasime teda ka natuke vette meelitada, aga algul ta seda väga ei tahtnud. Millegipärast oli tal tekkinud tõrge vee suhtes, isegi vihmavee lompidest käis kaarega mööda. Seega üritasin teda natuke ärgitada ja jalgupidi vette minema, see õnnestus ühe pisikese kraavi juures väga hästi, mis merre suubub. Küll ta taidles seal edasi tagasi ja üritas algul üle kraavi hüpata, aga ei õnnestunud. No siis ei jäänudki muud üle, kui plätserdada vees. Eriti põnevaks läks Ergil siis, kui tulid suuremad lained, mis kraaviveega segunedes tekitasid mulle ja no neid pidi ju kohe kätte saama ja ära sööma. Lõbu oli laialt ja ei mingit veekartust enam. Kindlasti oli kohustuslik ka kaevandamine ja oi kui põnev see on. Liiva lendas igasse kaarde.
Rannast lahkudes oli Erk omadega täiesti toss ning koju jõudes vajus lösakile ning üritas vaevaliselt oma silmi lahti hoida. Meie väsitustöö läks igati korda.

If somebody wants a translation, then just let us know.

a trip to the beach

On the weekend we visited Tallinn and made several trips to the beach. After some heavy duty digging and ball chasing, we finished the day with bird-watching :)
