5th birthday


 L-R: Taika, Torvi, Keksi, Taito, Koda, Diesel, Karhu
 

Wow, 5 years already since Neka and I had our first litter of puppies.  On the 13th of June we wished very happy birthdays to Kultainen (aka Koda), Taika, Pikkukarhu (aka Karhu, aka Mr K), Seppo (aka Diesel), Taito, Keksi and Tuuri (aka Torvi).  Although, I have to say that although the owners of those fabulous first Infindigo dogs are saying "five, already!?" to tell you the truth, I'm saying "only five!?"  Because a lot has happened to me and and my dogs in those 5 years - that was even before the birth of the blog.  Eons ago, surely!  There have been 4 more litters since then, for example.  27 more puppies.

But, back in the day, here's how cute that first litter were.  In these photos they are 5-6 weeks old.
