Gummi's summer

I haven't posted pix in a long time, so here's a summary of what we have been up to the last month or so.

A tired puppy is a good puppy.. Gummi enjoyed the first weeks in our new house!




Hey! Mom! Is that thing edible?


Virus - wanna play?

Then we left for our cottage down as far south in Norway as you can get, and then a little west.


Virus still didn't want to play..


Gummi still had lots of fun, though!


Ready for his first trip out to the small islands to explore


Bajas showed him around






Virus got to come along, too


It's also nice to relax on the porch with a nice e-book on the Kindle!


Tired puppy after a day of exploring


What?


No way I ate a slug and got all slimy. Srsly, Mom, you're making stuff up!


New island - full speed ahead!




Virus came along here, too!


Time to go back home


So sneepy..


Yum! Duck leg for breakfast!







Everyone relaxes on the couch..


New adventure/new island


Virus is so cute coming along on our trips, he always comes when called and to go back home.


Gummi got his first swim in this salt water "pond" (connected to the sea underneath the rocks) - he thought the algae was grass or something, and jumped right into it.. The poor guy handled it well and swam to shore. He had his little life jacket on, too, which was good.




Nice to relax with Bajas afterwards


They're not actually touching, but it's still progress


My gardening assistant...


So cute!!!


Two toys are always better than one!


Hopefully he'll get used to the lake eventually, too. We're up there again now for a few weeks. I'd love for him to cool down on his own initiative. We'll see.. Bajas didn't want to get in until he was maybe 5 years old...


Playing with the kitties is fun! They get to come outside in the daytime if the weather is nice and we are home.


Hee hee..

what absolutley fantastic pics! Gummi is adorable! Im so impressed with virus as well, i cant believe the cat comes out with u on day trips its amazing! x

What wonderful photos

Gummi is sooooooooo cute, and looks like he has a great time on his "adventures" with his trusty guide Bajas
Love the cats too.....Virus ( wondering how he/she got the name ) and the other ?????? What breed are they? Virus sounds like a great personality/adventurer

brilliant pics and love the story as well. what a well behaved cat virus is, the place you went to is so lovely , it looks like you all had a fab time.
Gummi and Bajas are

What a busy wee dog!

Awesome pictures! You have such a cool family! Gorgeous animals!!

I wish I could take my cats places! They're such homebodies, especially my fat cat, Bowie. Though he does count the care as part of his territory and likes car rides. Ziggy, the small cat, is the other way around, she HATES car rides but doesn't mind being in other peoples' houses. Maybe, if we squished them together into one cat then we could go places and have fun times like you guys!

Fab pics of all! I also can't believe Virus goes on day trips! What a great name for a cat too!!Gummi and Bajas are looking great, especially Gummi

Loved all these photos.. Gummi is leading an adventurous life that's for sure !! What a cutie pie !!

Love the Here Comes Trouble bandanna.. I need one for Winston !!

Great photos.What a lovely lifestyle also.

awww what a gorgeous little dude Gummi is

Thanks guys! It's been a good summer.

The black and white kitty is Hyssing. They are Devon Rex' and Hyssing is Virus' son. Virus got his name because I think it's a fun name.. I'm a little strange and geeky, and I love unusual names. It's not my original idea, though. A colleague came and told me something along the lines of "Oh! I have to tell you - YOU'll understand.. I met a black pug puppy named Virus, isn't that the cutest name?!" a few years ago and I agreed it was a perfect name for a strange little pug. But I also thought it was perfect for a strange little kitty, the Devon's are rather unusual looking and tend to get reactions so the name just fit him. I knew I'd want to use that name for several years before getting a little guy to use it on, the only time I've actually been able to use a "saved" name.

What gorgeous pikis!!! Gummi is adorable!! i LOVE how even your kitty kat goes on adventures too! haha so cute!

great pics the dogs and cat look fab xx

Great pics it seems you all have been quite busy.

you have such an interesting family of pets!!! ahha Virus is such a fitting name for you cat! I love that pic of him climbing on the wall.

I always thought Porco was a perfect name for a pug and might use that one in the future hehe.

they look like they had fun
