Homage for our old dogs. They have done so much work and given so much love and have a right to live a happy life. Between 20 to 30 % of the dogs in a kennel are normally retired - if you keep them and treat them well. So easy to know, how dogs are treated at their places. Treat them well and they will live a long life. ... Mehr sehenWeniger sehen

One of our 4 "super old(ies)" Uando born 2013, just retired and brother of Ussuri, Ulvang, Uppea, Unari, Urengoi, Usko and Urson who also retired after last season as 11 years old.

We were so happy to see Emmi when we came in 2022... We knew her from our first trip to Äkäskero in 2011...

By now also the Z-litter (Cheetah/Quake) like to explore the outside of their box. Will take time to present all of them as they are 9 (!). Father Quake is our perpetum mobile - does not know that after few hundred kilometers he should be tired and calm down. Cheetah, out of Marley is a perfect mother. ... Mehr sehenWeniger sehen

Wir haben es dort nur im Dunklen erlebt, und es war noch die ‚ungemütlichste‘ Hütte, vielleicht genau weil es Strom gab?! Wir denken soooo gerne an unsere Woche bei euch zurück, es war DER Urlaub unseres Lebens! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Ich denke gerne an meine Woche dort zurück. Ist leider schon viel zulange her. Beat und Rena waren die Camp/Lodgemanager.

Es waren super schöne Tage

Electricity was at Tiurajärvi, wasn't it? 🤔 I hope I remembered the name right. The mökki at Kangosjärvi is lovely too, though 🤩

Since when is there a big window and electricity at Kangosjärvi?

Report from Yle: Finland’s largest grocery retailer, the S Group, reported soaring profits last year. Its operating result for 2023 was 447 million euros, up by 37.5 percent from the previous year – while consumers saw food prices rise throughout the year.

The S Group's pre-tax retail sales grew by 5.5 percent from the previous year, totalling 14.2 billion euros.

Now I understand, why tomatoes cost up to 23 Euro per kg and cucumber more then 5 Euro per kg. The food market in Finland (and Sweden) is manimpulated by few companies. No competition at all.
