Midsummer in Finland

While half of Europe is suffering from the actual heatwave (the News right now are written in one of those areas and I can confirm, that 36 - 39C are really not fun anymore...), North-Karelia is celebrating Midsummer with nice 15 - 20 degrees C, always a little wind breeze from the lake, everything is fresh and green, not dry and already getting yellow, it is raining regularly and nature has everything what is needed. With almost 21 hours sunlight and therefor almost 24 hours daylight, Eräkeskus is celebrating Midsummer. The lake is now great for a swim, the puppies and all other dogs are having a happy life with perfect temperatures and the summer projects go on. If you want to escape the summer heat, Eräkeskus is the perfect place and we have rooms and camping-spaces available during all summer.

The lake-pool on the side of the new kennels is half-ready and for sure the dogs already look forward to enjoy a refreshing bath during the play-hours - like the dogs from the old kennels have it already since a while. The first guests have been visiting us already and besides biking and paddling they for sure enjoyed also all the puppies and had fun with them. A short increase of adrenaline occured when the waterpump stopped working for a short while, but luckily Gabriel could fix it and everything is back to normal again. Thank you! Petra is taking care of the office until end of June and the "Big Ones" Jack, Misu and Inua are cuddled and taken care by Hannah and Julia. Maybe Misu is finally happy in water, swimming, when I return :-) Thanks to the whole team to keep everything running smoothly and giving me a worryfree holiday!

The puppies of Tosca, Mulan and Talvi seem to have a lot of fun during short walks over the yard. Everything what they learn now, will help us a lot in future. Isn`t it sugarsweet seeing the 9 Talvi-pups running through the forest in a group, as it was seen in the facebook-story a few days ago? The puppies of Susi and Happy will get their official names today and Petra will post those with portrait-pictures soon on facebook as well.

I wish all our followers and especially my whole team a Happy Midsummer!
