Hello, Sunshine!

Well hello April, how nice of you to arrive and bring with you the glorious weather! Today, Mikkel and I went for a walk in just a t-shirt! Ok, Mikkel wasn't wearing a tee, and I was also wearing pants and stuff but what I am getting at is, I was able to walk my little devil without having to wear a jacket of some kind! And. It. Felt. Good. However, I did see many people still donning jackets and that made me think I was doing the wrong thing but then I remember how soaked my tee was after the walk yesterday in the forest, where I was wearing a jacket. So yeah, I enjoyed my walk in the sun in my tee and scoffed and called them pussies (not really) at people in jackets.

This was the sky this morning on Mikkel's after breakfast walk.. just lovely!

On Saturday we will have a high of 18 degrees, which means that I hope to see others out donning short sleeves and not jackets.. but I am in Sweden, so you never know!

Yesterday, Mikkel and I had our first night home alone with Emma. She has gone to Stockholm with her mum for a few days. He was a little unsettled to start with but he got to sleep after a little coaxing. He kept going to sit in the spot he goes when we (Emma) takes too long to come to bed.

We had a pretty good day yesterday, he played with his big fox a lot and hung out with him under the table as much as possible. Here they are giving me the bum! [link to photo] and then several hours later, they were back under there, this time sleeping while holding paws! Adorable! [link to photo]

We also went for a walk in the forest, Mikkel is really good off leash in there. He is my superstar! And if I happen to take too long, and he is ahead then he will stop, look back at me as if to say.. what the actual fuck?! [link to photo] Afterwards, we headed to the park for some more off leash time and a play around. Today at the park we were attempting to play fetch, after a few false starts, he did manage to go and fetch the stick and bring it back to me. I was well impressed. I will have to have another go with it later today or tomorrow, depending on how much of a rascal he is later. 

Currently he is sleeping on his spot, on the side of the couch.. I do wonder how long it is going to be before he has outgrown the 'spot'. Look how much he has grown in 8 weeks! [link to photo]

This morning after chewing his vege stick, I guess he rested on it and well.. this happened.. [link to photo] He really does have the perfect amount of comedy to this household!

All in all things are going pretty rad over here, this growing little family is loving life and even more so now with delicious weather on the agenda! Hopefully we will do some fun blog worthy things with all this good weather, and hopefully Mikkel will get betterer at doing his business in new areas instead of holding it! But the bright-side is... at least we know he can hold it! But then again, we knew that from his early days with us where he would hold it for hours and hours outside before coming in and releasing! I am so glad that is over and that it didn't last too long. Long enough but not too long.

Before I wrap this up, here is a video taken over the Easter break of Mikkel trying his hardest to get Uncle Hjulle to play.. [link to video] as you can see, uncle is less than impressed. And lastly, Mikkel giving Emma 'the face' so that she will either get out of the bath, or allow him to join her in there. [link to photo] It does make me wonder how he will do with swimming, he seems to love water.. to do with the bath tub at least.
