OMG what fun it was for a puppy like me to go to Finland! Hanna’s cheerful father Jan has all anyone can want at his wonderful house right next to the Baltic Sea. He has a nice wooden house, a vegetable garden, two saunas, a jacuzzi, a little wooden jetty and a few fishing nets in the water. I had never seen anything like this before!
Jan moved peacefully around his property with big clunky rubber boots and blue plastic gloves. He went to the water and pulled one of the nets onto the jetty.
The net smelled truly interesting but even more interesting was all the fish that were caught in it! The many entangled fishes flopped violently as the net was pulled out of the water. I was so excited to see these little friends that I didn’t know what to do with myself! I walked nervously around the jetty, gave off little cries of excitement and even gave my new fish-friends a few kisses!
Then Jan killed the fish and threw some of the parts back into the water. Guess if I was surprised? Then he fried the fish on an outdoor grill and the humans ate them! Seeing the whole process of how these fishes were handled was very interesting to a young and curious dog like myself.
I also got to practice my swimming on this trip, read about it and see the video in my post TravellerDog Pompe Practices Swimming in Finland. If you want to read more about traveling with a dog in Finland, mama has written quite a bit about it under Plan a Trip Finland.
