A sort of meh fog today.

Much the same weather today but the fog was sort of meh. It was too thin to really make a big difference and instead just made the world look a bit more sad 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

The hunters were supposed to be in the forest today but I don’t think anyone actually came. Anyway we walked in to the village instead and Alma behaved well enough until we had walked slightly more than half the way. That’s when a car passed around 200 meters (much the same in yards) ahead of us, I guess someone had to go to work. After that she pulled the leash a lot and whined all the way home. I really can’t understand why, she really doesn’t care about cars passing by on the gravel road here at home.

 

This is the tree with the pastel colored leafs and it looks like an old tree with a thick trunk.
But it’s actually several trees, there are some trunks one only can see from a distance.

If it wasn’t puling the leash she has this nasty habit on walking behind me sliding towards my left side (she should walk on the right) and if she see something then she suddenly can start running forward like crazy. That is how she has ripped my right shoulder a couple of times. It hurts a lot and I had to stay at home for quite some time both times but thankfully I never needed surgery.  I have no problems of letting her do that if she walks in front of me because then I see what’s about to happen but she only does that when Malkolm have found something interesting to sniff on 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

I’ve had rice porridge for dinner today and Malkolm and Alma both had a tiny portion as well. I don’t think it’s especially good for their stomachs since there’s so much milk in it but a tiny portion won’t do much damage to their stomachs. Sara the cat’s stomach is a bit wobbly today so she had to be without.

     

I need to buy a couple of box traps to place in the cool cellar. There’s a mouse/ mice there that tends to bit of thin stalks from the plants I have there during winter and now I’m getting annoyed. it/ they never eat anything just chops them off and leaves!!! I would like to try and find weasel or ferret poop and put some around my cottage and perhaps indoors where they can come in. There’s nothing more frightening for rodents than weasels or ferrets. I have no idea where to find some, I doubt that Ferrets are sold in pet stores even though it isn’t a specially rare pet. I really don’t want a ferret myself though even it it would help keep mice away 🙂 🙂 🙂

 

I’m not a fan of horses to be honest but I really like these two. No matter how much my dogs (Alma that is) would sound they still don’t care 🙂

Then again Sara isn’t a hundred percent  when it comes to the litter box, she does however always pee on paper I have on the floor, I could perhaps use that in the cellar? What do You think? I’ll try it next time I find a wet paper on the floor 🙂 It is time for the last cup of tea for the day but I won’t have anything with it, the rice porridge still make me feel full 🙂

Have a great day!

    You’re right about thin fog making everything look wistful. It sure creates a beautiful filter for your photos!
    Love the sturdy, unflappable horses. So much character, and they look sweetly old fashioned.
    I think Sara’s used papers would do some good in warding off the mice.

      Hi Goodport!

      It does make a good filter 🙂 but it does look depressing at the same time 🙂

      Those two horses are so nice and they’re getting rather old now I think. Put a sled behind them when it is snowing and the photos would look like old fashioned Christmas cards 🙂 Originally the Yule gnome had all the presents in a sled pulled by either a horse or a goat here in Sweden 🙂

      I’ve put some of that paper where I know the mice comes in to the cellar so tomorrow I’ll check if it has helped 🙂

    i always enjoy how your photos really immerse the viewer in your walks and the wildlife, the forest, bog or village, Christer. Thank you! Of course i totally love all the dogs & Sara photos too!

    I especially love those fat, furry, solidly built draft-type horses, whether they are the giants like Shires or the smaller ones like Fjords or Haflingers or Nordsvensk Brukshäst. All of the sturdy, big-boned draft horse types are usually very even-tempered, willing, gentle and often very kind. Some of them also have a very good sense of humor too. While they’re not especially common in New England, Fjords are popular here. I haven’t had the pleasure of riding one yet, though I understand that they have a nice peppy movement under saddle.

    I’m one of those people who loved horses from the time I was a very young child and rode regularly throughout my youth, though not so much now. But I understand how many people don’t like horses or are quite afraid of them. Just one bad experience with one horse can have a big impoct and can create a real aversion to horses, often lifelong.

      Hi Denali Sam!

      I’m glad You like them all 🙂

      They have three more Nordsvenskar as we usually say but those can be scared of screaming dogs on the road 🙂 🙂 These two are as calm a concrete bricks 🙂 🙂 🙂
      I’m not sure why I’m not fond of horses, could be the size but I have taken care of a couple every time the owners had to go somewhere, One was the devil incarnated and she attacked anyone who wasn’t the man in the family or their dog, the two others were just spoiled but always were nice 🙂
