Rauha Rentola was born in 2006, and is named after a Finnish actress from the 50s.
Her name can be translated as Calm Relaxed, and mostly she is just that. She
lives with Telle Kokko about 120 miles (200 km) south of the Arctic circle. |

is the most sociable, friendly and considerate dog Telle has ever had. As
a pup she was the bully of the litter, but the company of Telle's two older ladies,
a Parson Jack Russell, Alma, (sadly missed) and spinone, Martta, has contributed
to the change in her. Telle's life has changed too - it's very difficult to take anything seriously when there's a 60 kg wolfhound doing her best to lean on you till you lose your balance, or when she's taking silly steps and waiting to dance with you when you come from the bathroom in the morning - it almost makes you a morning person, too! |

Telle's new pup, Vieno, has arrived and turns out to be an almost-cousin to Hogan
and McKenna through their Danish family. She arrived at Telle's two weeks ago
from her Swedish breeder - a long journey of a night on the ferry and a day in the car, and has settled in
well with Rauha and Martta. Right now there's so much new snow that Rauha gives her a snow bath every time they go out, as you can see in this video clip! |
