A very sweet family
A pair of geese with goslings
My boyfriend called on me tonight because there were a pair of Canada Geese on our field. I went there with my camera, trying not to scare them away. They went down towards the water and when I came down there I saw them swimming around with their three little goslings. It was beautiful!
Elks grazing!
A beautiful night in the early summer...
I was out with Aliyah just a little while ago and guess what I met on the field up on the hills? Not one or two, not even three or four... but SEVEN large elks grazing by the edge of the wood. It was really unreal and extremely beautiful.
Tomorrow morning or night I will take my camera with me to see if they are still there and if I am lucky I maybe can catch them on a photograph. Those mighty kings of the forest. Beautiful indeed.

Snakebaby has changed skin
Old skin off, new skin on...
The new little baby python shed his/her skin tonight. The colours are much brighter now; more red, more cream and less grey. What he or she wants the most now is a little pinkie (newborn mouse) I think.
Dead snake? No, old skin!

Dogs in the wild
THREE DOGS OUT IN THE WILDERNESS...
Tonight I took the camera with me when I went out with Whippa, Gizmo and Aliyah. First we went up on the fields on the hills, then into the woods and then to the fields again. The weather was great and the dogs were happy and full of energy.
The woods
1. Gizmo
2 & 3. Aliyah
1 & 3. Whippa
2. Gizmo and Whippa
♣ ♣ ♣
As usual, Whippa quickly ran away after something. Gizmo and Aliyah wasn't slow to hang on. They have times when they are allowed to be wild and free. I'm not always that sharp and boring leader.
I heard Whippa started to yelp (as usual again) a strange sound. I have no clue what she had found. I don't really have the guts to go and find out either. Whippa is sounding so scared, and if she's scared what would I be? But I guess it's nothing that could be dangerous, like a bear or an angry moose, I guess it's maybe a fox or something. But why would she sound like that? I think I have to find out the next time this happens...
After a while though, Whippa came back and she had like foam on her face. I have no clue where that came from, herself or someone else? A lot of question marks here. Then Gizmo came and a while later Aliyah also came back. They were all pretty out of breath. But happy and excited.
The fields
1. Aliyah
2. All three
3. Rocky is coming (the neighbors' Collie)
1. All three again, and our house in the background
2. The river
♣ ♣ ♣
Whippa loves to run on the fields. The "bulls" are trying to catch her but that's impossible. Whippa can do different tricks, like running backwards, sidewards and stuff (haha) but even then, they can't get close to her. Whippa enjoys that a lot.
When they where running down the hills they caught a sight of Rocky, our neighbors' Collie/Border Collie mix. Whippa loves Rocky so she ran towards him and he ran towards her. Gizmo and Aliya came after and they had a party for a while. It was a lot of fawning and fussing. Rocky is a very handsome male, you know.
After a while me and my neighbor acted killjoys and interrupted their happy playtime. Whippa, Gizmo, Aliyah and I went home to chill out after our delightful time in the wilderness.

Reunion: Brothers meet their sister
Acce and Alf meets Bianca
My mother came to visit us today and with her she had Bianca. Bianca (Arguila Bianca, meaning white clay) is the daughter of Tudor and the sister of Acce and Alf. They haven't seen eachother since they were 12 weeks or so. It was really fun!
Bianca in jail
Alf was the first one to say hi to his sister
"Let me have a look too!"
Then it was Acce's turn to say hello
I think they recognized eachother almost immediately. There was no hissing or snarling. They just gently smelled eachother. Acce was most interested and thought it was really exciting. After the greetings, Bianca wanted to go and have a look around. I don't think she remembered the house as well as she remembered her brothers. She heard Whippa whining in the bedroom and was a little bit careful at first. After a little while, however, she relaxed and started to enjoy it all completely.
To begin with, Alf was a bit mischievous and tried to (playfully) attack Bianca. It didn't take long, though, before the little lady had the boys wrapped around her paw. She took the leading position and decided that she wanted to tease her brothers. She pushed Alf into a corner and I think he had a moment when he felt really threatened because he got up on his hind legs waving his paws desperately. 1-0 to Bianca. But the next second Alf was challenging her again.
Acce, like the gentle little sweetie he is, wasn't up for any fighting. He just wanted to chill out with her I think. Bianca wanted to play though, and placed herself on a chair and tried to hit Acce with her paw when he went past. He didn't get the fun of that at all, he just got a bit scared, offended and confused. After a while Acce went to Paasah, who, by the way, never left the "dog couch" as long as Bianca was here. There he layed down close beside her and they had a good and mellow time together.
"Where did she go?"
Here she is
Alf is careful
Acce is curious
I hope Bianca wants to visit us soon again. It was really, really fun! ♥

Two white brothers
Acce and Alf
Alf
The one to the left is Alf. He is oddeyed, which means that he's got eyes of different colours, one is blue and one is green. He's got semi-long fur, just like a Norwegian forestcat. Alf is also deaf, like his mother was. He is a really sweet and funny cat. He talks a lot and very loud. He's got a special sound that sounds something like "mm-gaaou" that he's saying quite a lot, and quite loud. If he could hear himself I guess he would get frightened. As it is now he's afraid of nothing at all. He is an "indoor cat" but one night when I had the door open he escaped and started to walk right into the darkness of the fields. He was walking and walking without ever hesitating. When I came up behind him and grabbed him he didn't get the least bit scared - he just gave me one of his other special sounds, a friendly little "brrii". Evil does not exist in Alf's world.

Alf is out walking in a lead
Acce
Acce (Arctic Action) is the one to the right. He has got shorter hair and he also has a little grey spot between his ears. Acce is a very sweet cat. He's got his hearing alright and (maybe because of that) he doesn't speak as much as Alf. The sound that is typical for Acce is a low and kind of sad-sounding "moow". Acce is somewhat nervous at times, but when he gets frightened he calms down really fast. Acce and Paasah is very close. I think they are a little bit in love. Acce is shining from happiness when he's allowed to lie beside Paasah or when she's cleaning him. They are really sweet together. At the moment all three cats are lying on chairs here in the kitchen. Alf is lying on one chair and Acce and Paasah are cuddled up close together on another. Little lovebirds.

Paasah is holding Acce
The two sons of Tudor. They are born in June 2006 and are now 11 months old and FULL of energy. They have a lot of fun together and they go along great with the other animals. However, Paasah can get really tired of them from time to time.
