Spring arrives late here up north. For a while, the changing seasons are just winter with more light, but slowly, as the snow disappears, the earth comes back to life. We’ll spot the first snowdrops and colorful crocuses, but in the next few weeks, there is...
We're longing for warmer days, for feeling the sunlight and eating ice cream. But at the same time, this is such an incredible time for long hikes and exploring. The cold days between winter and the start of a real spring, we love them! The snow on...
We've been using life jackets for our dogs for years, but since I'm getting more and more questions, this blog post is fully dedicated to the summer flotation gear that my dogs are using. We, two-legged creatures, are also using life vests, but since we can't...
