apparently the pup has a panicky fear for balls. i didn't know that. i guess he has never seen one before. he was even afraid of the a, after seeing him playing with the football in the garden. we'll have to start him on football-therapy as soon as possible.

apart from the scary ball experience, the midsommar at the å's and the a's new cottage has been great. the pup behaved. the humans had good food (the pup too, he had one of my burgers). the desert was delicious, the place was nice, the evening walk was very wet but nice and midsummerish and we didn't meet any bears. the people were nice, the baby was quiet, the rain only lasted a short while, we only had one spider in our room and there were strawberries left for breakfast. and it turned out the å was crazy about her new garden. which might be great, in case i need a nerdy garden geeky friend. we didn't have a midsommarstång though. what is it about people around here? last year we didn't have one either...  ¶ 5:58 PM
