Sa’s Inaugural Finnish Lapphund & Friends Picnic And Walk

[Finnesse]

We had a lovely day out at the Lappie Picnic at Rymill Park, it was a pretty setting, very green and shady. It was great to meet new Lappies and their owners and we had a wonderful turn out.. Not everyone could make it but there were 11 Lappies and two wannabe Lappies (Akira and Esky).We also had a couple of families interested in the breed come out to say ‘Hi’ which was nice. I think they got to see quite a variety.

After introductions were made we took the dogs for a walk around the lake and park. It was rather warm so we didn’t go too far. There were some Bouncy Castles around which looked like fun for the dogs and us adults but we thought we better not intrude.

After the walk we sat down to a picnic lunch and a natter. By this stage most Lappies were happy to just lay down except for maybe Charlie (the Watersedge pup, sister to Raiven and Vienna) who still wanted to play. She ended up wet from wanting a duck in the lake but she was having a great time.

A big to all those that came out to make it a very pleasant day and especially our photographer Jeff (Shuyak), for taking lots of photos which I will get off him later.

One not so good photo for now

Akira (Sibe), Varda, Kit Kat, Jukki, Jaana, Kozzie, Sinikka, Scotia, Meeko, Portia, Charlie, and Kumere

Thanks to all the lappie people for welcoming a non-lappie owner in - had a ball - the dogs were all gorgeous and so well behaved - Shannon is still disappointed we didn't smuggle one out with us - but she will have to wait till the time is right ;)

Shannon certainly did ok though and got to pretend to be a Lappie owner today. Kat was more than happy about that she loves kids

Had a great time. Big thanks to Tobster for her wonderful organising. :D

Glad you enjoyed yourself and thankyou
