Top 5 things to do...

  1. Sleeping - my favorite! I don´t care what time of the day, evening or night it is. It´s always a perfect time for a little nap. And preferably with my dogs. My Finnish hound loves to sleep in, but ofcourse the lab wants us all to be early birds...
  2. Long walks in the woods. Winter or summer, I just love walking my dogs. I don´t mind the weather, I am just as ease with +30 as I am with -30. As long as the seasons keep changing. I am always FOR change!!
  3. Sauna. Nothing like a good Finnish sauna. A smoke sauna, if I get to choose, but any sauna will do eventually!!
  4. Good wining & dining. Even though my eating habits during weekdays are not to be recommended, I do like to cook something nice for the weekend, or join my friends for some steaks, or fish or fondue or pasta... Game is great - but were my survival dependent on me, I´d have starved to death ages ago...
  5. Hunting with dog(s). I just love the thrill, the anxiousness in my dogs, when they KNOW they get to do what they were bred to. Usually I do come home empty handed, but the rare occasions I actually do have something - what a joy!!
  6. Clay shooting - my discovery in 2011! This is thanks to Satu & Pasi, who took me to places, introduced me to people - and got me really excited about it. So now I have a competition license, but so far no success.. ;)
I just noticed, I had promised only 5 of my favorite things. This too is very typical of me - I´m VERY generous in almost everything I do - so what the heck, I´ll give 6!!

Searover Kits Charente

Nixu, a Swedish Gentleman - the sweetest of all sweet creatures! Could not harm a fly, yet is beginning to show me some real hunting skills. Also WAY too nice looking, but on the other hand that is not important to me, and he has taken some time to build on his confidence.. The hunt test season 2011 is now over and he has earned his open class status for 2012.

Tulipätsin Örkinhaltia aka HALTI

Here´s my Halti. My personal terrorist, will destroy anything.. I remember one occasion. I was at the car dealers´ negotiating a car deal, and this little devil ate the seat belt while waiting in the car. Another eur 200,- - GONE!! But she is the sweetest thing otherwise, and will do the job in the forest, too. Not the best of all hounds, but certainly good enough for me!
And here are my most important links...
