Stanley meets Frank at Gärdet

Resently we have started to go to a big park called Gärdet now and then. There are huge areas, but no fence to the traffic, so I've hesitaded to go there earlier on. Now we've been there three times without any problems, and hope it will continue that way. Watching his joy of being able to stretch out his legs to the fully is really great.





Indoor activities

These videos shows parts of Stanleys training program. Stanley easily learns, but only obeys when it suites him ;) I love his integrity though. He does not sell his soul for treats... Please excuse my silly talking like to a baby voice! :S These Videos are many but very short each one of them, just a few seconds.


To sit nicely and "shake hands" is a piece of cake (especially if one get's a piece of cake)


Making the U-turn. "Titta på mig" means "look at me" (in the eye that is):


Walking nicely close to me (and the dog-candy):


It takes many bullets to "kill" Stanley (I say "Bang - you're dead!" in Swedish. Luckely he don't know the meaning. I saw this like a circus-trick)




Where is the hamburger??? Stanley is not a good seeker, so the treat needs to be hidden extremely easy. This time it was a hamburger from mc Donalds, without everything except the bread and the meat (yes, I know I spoil him :P )

Dog-islands, Drottningholm 30/4 2011

The unreliable ice has melt and the soil is saturated with interesting fragrances that has thawed. However this wonderful, royal place - where the dogs may run lose - invites to more then just sniffing. Look at what wonderful time we had:





After a lot of fresh air, Stanley, our friend Per-Martin and I, crashed at the café "Brostugan" right at the bridge to Drottningholm. Since it was a little too chilly to sit outside we were very happy to discover that they had opened a small room where dogs were allowed. It's very uncommon to allow the dogs at cafés and restaurants in Sweden. It's great that many cafés soon will open their outdoor seating! Spring has come! PS. Per-Martin is the photographer of picture #1, 4 and 5
