Winter pictures

We had a photo session with Mataleena Pesonen (www.matsku.net) last weekend. Pictures turned out really good :-).

Here's a preview, I'll update our own album as soon as I can.

Measuring estimates

After weighing Riva at the vet's I decided it was time to measure him also. Propably not a very exact measurement, without a proper wicket, but an estimate. So, equipped with a tape measure and a ruler, my mom did the measuring while I stacked Riva and tried to hold him still. The measurements averaged around 55 cm (21.6 inches). I hope he stops growing pretty soon.

At the vet's

Today we had Riva's first real visit to the vet's, he has a bit of an eye infection and we went in to show that. I also weighed him on the good scale and was a bit surprised to find out that he weights 25 kg (55 pounds)! Not a gram of extra fat but he is just built pretty solid.

First Show

Riva's first show was finally last Saturday. He went BOB Puppy under judge Sharon Frances from Canada. He showed himself very nicely in the ring and took all the hustle and bustle of show grounds in stride. What a great boy!
