10-April-2026. The dogs are enjoying snow-free fields again. Winter is over. We are waiting for spring to arrive. The 5-month-old pups are in heaven! It has been snow and cold since they were born on 25-October-2025.

Patch – naturally talented, slowly warming to me (and humans)
Nova – who got a (successful) remedial lesson in who is boss.
Mindi – my little housemate and future working dog
Skye – mama without the neurosis

…and my #1, Peter. I can never take too many photos of this dog.
