After a playful day..


they are very tired...

Now pillows offering a pleasant shelter!

Some typical Viripics from woods!


He is always going..


just jumping...


or coming! ;D

Snow, snow, snow... Boys got enthusiastic about it!

Yesterday, 26.3, we got lots of snow in Finland. There were parts in our land which got it over 30-40 cm during night and in our part of land we got it ab. 15 cm...



Our backyard looked like this in the morning.


All in our pack loves snow and boys start to play outside as soon as I open the patiodoor.
This is Juku in action! Doesn´t his tail look like an antenna? Or more like a whip!?


Near our house is also a small forest where my boys had such a fun yesterday. I packed my Canon with and took some new winterfun -pics!
This is Luxi and Viri, father and son, having fun!


Juku and Luxi playing at our backyard.


Flying Hupi! Hupi just loves to run and being catched by others!


... and sometimes he stops (!) and thinks where to go NOW!?
Spruce offers him shelter to rest a little. :)

Like father, like son.



I received such a joyfull picture ab. Miyessa Aslanthelion, now 4mths, relaxing just like Hupi -dad! Or what do you think? ;D





Hupi and his son Aslan surely knows how to rest!

Vihdoinkin!
Kysyin muistaakseni kolmelta Blogger -blogin käyttäjältä kuvien lisäämisestä peräperää + tekstin lisäämisestä kuvien väleihin.
Yleisin ohje oli "lisäät vain kuvan". :)

Blogger tarjoaa valmiiksi kolmea valmista asettelua; vasen, keskitetty ja oikea. Yksi valinnoista on "ei mitään", jota myös jossain vaiheessa kokeilin. Se valinta ei vain heti auennut minulle. Ensinnäkin se asettaa viimeiseksi lisätyn kuvan ensimmäiseksi ja heittää tekstin alimmaiseksi, kaikkien kuvien alle.
No, nyt kun opin tämän; lisäsin ensin kuvan, jonka haluan alimmaiseksi. (tässä Hupin kuva) sitten lisäsin ylimmäksi haluamani kuvan, (tässä Aslanin kuva) ja tekstinpätkän, minkä Blogger heitti alimmaiseksi kopioin ctrl+c:llä ja tuuppasin kuvien väliin.
Ehkäpä tästä oli Sinulle apua, joka olet kenties miettinyt samaa? :)

Tampere INT 16.3.2008


Kävimme Hupin ja Virin kanssa kartuttamassa muovinauhakokoelmaamme ja hakemassa kehäkokemusta Tampereelta!

Annukka Paloheimon arvostelut tässä:

Hupi; "Kookas, pitkälinjainen. Hienossa lihaskunnossa. Voisi olla luustoltaan asteen elegantimpi. Erinomainen rintakehä, hyvä ylälinja. Pitkä sääri. Liikkuu tasapainoisesti, mutta voisi olla edestä tiiviimpi. Kauniisti esitetty."
ERI/3

Viri; "Reilusti kookas, 55 cm. Saisi olla kauttaaltaan kevyempi ja elegantimpi. Kauniit linjat. Hyvä, pitkä rintakehä. Kovin pitkä sääri. Hyvä ilme. Hieman voimakas kallo. Hyvä kaula. Liikkuu hyvin. Koko pudottaa palkintosijaa."
EH/4

Great results for Hupikids!! part 2


I got magnificent news from Bart! Bart Scheerens from knl Boxing Helena´s entered his three Whippets to Crufts. Among them was "Lima", Balmy Limonite Dominija (Twyborn Philadelphia x Boxing Helena´s Coral Gem) and WHAT a result this little girl made....
In her class competed almost 30 bitches and Lima WON her class!!!! Bart wrote that they made history; this is the first time Belgian (owned) Whippet did this! And in the final line up out of over 200 bitches, Lima was placed third. So near to gain the ticket.

This is something I have to "chew" a bit longer than this, over 400 Whippets all over the world. Champions, The Best of The Best, and among them Lima wins her class.... WOW WOW WOW!!! The feeling is almost magical...

I want to send my heartfelt congratulations to Bart & Lima, and to Asta -Lima´s breeder. You made us so proud, so proud!!
