Everyday life of mine

Hi to all blog readers! I noticed we have had sooooo many peeks in our blog after the last post. If I could give you all a big kiss on your face, I would. As a thanks. And because I really like kissing people! 

I haven't been doing much these last days besides the normal playing, eating and waking up Emma in the middle of the night to give me the attention that I need. I am entitled to belly rubs at 5am.

Apparently Emma would not have a problem with me waking her up as early as I do, if she wouldn't have a big essay to turn in this week. Well I think she actually now needs me more than ever, to give her all the needed breaks from her studying. She also has lecture always on the evenings, apparently some kind of weird language called hebrew, so I stay that time with Philipp. I must admit it is very nice to stay with Philipp, since he tends to be more easy going with the treats. It is almost too easy to melt his heart with my puppy stare. Then later, after 4 hours, Emma returns and I always remember to greet her happily with my wagging tail. This way get very nice hugging and kissing time from her straight away. 

Oh I almost forgot, we have started to take longer walks in the neighborhood with Emma, she says I behave very nicely in the leash already. Well truthfully it is not very hard to walk on a leash, every now and then I would reeeeeeeally like to jump after some sticks and paper bags, but I have already learned that I won't get after them by jumping around or biting the leash. I just have to wait and then calmly walk nearby Emma. I really enjoy walks and seeing other people and dogs, Emma doesn't let me go and kiss all the other humans I see which I think is very mean of her. I cannot help that I have so much love in my tiny puppy body! 

Well I bet I don't have anything more to tell about these past days, here is an extra picture of me since I am so sweet. I gotta give my fans what they need.

About Finnish Lapphund as a breed

Hi! It is me Tesla again. I thought it would be best if I would open up a little information about my breed, since some people who stumble upon reading my blog might not know much about Finnish Lapphunds. 

First of all we are a medium sized and strongly-build breed. Males approximately grow to be 46 to 52 cm (18 to 20 inches) tall and females like me grow to be approximately 41 to 47 cm (16 to 19 inches). I hope I will be tall so I can finally snatch stuff from tabletops, people tend to leave the best noms there. We are also generally healthy breed so we live up to 12-16 years.

We come in wide variety of colors, I myself am black and tan, but for example my mother is brown with markings. All the colors are acceptable in dog shows.

Our origin is to herd reindeers in Lapland for Sami people, so we are very active breed. We are apparently also considered very intelligent and well receiving to training, well I can agree with that since everything I do correctly brings me a treat. We also bark a lot, but of course we have to do that since those reindeers never listen to us if we just ask them nicely to move themselves. Because of our background we have very big and fluffy coat so we can live outdoors very nicely, but I would not prefer that since I would be too far away from all the people and treats they provide. I do enjoy all my outside walks and playtimes in the snow since I never get cold, unlike Emma. 

In Finland we are very popular breed, since we are friendly, active, sturdy and obedient aka ideal for families. Although with our curiosity we need some watching over, as our big smiles indicate we have sense of humor when it comes to tricking our masters.

Inside Finland our breed has many hobbies to do, since we are active and fit for many dog sports. For my sake Emma has apparently thought some obedience training and dog shows, but maybe if I keep up my fast pace she will also train agility with me. Who knows, I am still so small all the doors are open for me.

Hi there..

My name is Tesla. I am a Finnish Lapphund (suomenlapinkoira as it is named in finnish) puppy from Helsinki, the capital of Finland. My age exactly is at the moment 8 weeks.

I am apparently named after some type of an inventor genius man who originally comes from Serbia. I have no clue what I have in common with this man, but I guess my owner had her reasons to name me after him. Maybe she is hoping I will turn out as a brainiac.

I just moved to my new home with my new owner last saturday, and boy has it been an adventure! First of all I was very surprised to just be snatched from my birthplace to a car where I had to travel for over an hour! Luckily I am heavy sleeper and decided to sleep all the way to Helsinki, otherwise I don't know how I would have managed with all of these new things in my life. My new home is very comfortable and full of toys for me to horde, so I have no problem staying here so far. I have to rethink this if the toys and amount of food I am offered starts to go down. 

My first days have been busy busy busy, I have had to learn a new place for all of my important stuff, like where my food, water and toys are stored. I also have been busy training Emma to give me treats when I sit, lay or give her my paw. I also have tricked her to give me treats every time I pee or poop outside, like that would be worth a treat.

I will update how my life is going as I grow up, about the things I learn and teach Emma to do for me. Hope you have fun time witnessing my growth here in my blog. Bye bye for now!
