So Kumi spent the week-end with Mikael. Mikael was going to work for some extra-job, so Kumi joined him at the office. The office is very close to a nice walking-place where they went for many brakes, and being at the office was good training for Kumi. She has a hard time relaxing in new environments, but Mikael told me that she actually had managed to sleep there for a while, which is great.

On the Saturday morning, Mikael and Kumi drove me and Manuel to the train-station. Manuel went with me by train to my parents' where also my sister was this week-end. The journey went all fine, and when I arrived at the station, my parents where standing waiting by the car-park. As soon as Manuel spotted them he started with his excited joyful barking and bounced up and down like a ball.

Then, when arriving at the house, it was time for happy greetings again, since my sister was there.

Manuel is very fond of my parents and my sister, and has no problems what so ever with their male Collie - Santhos. Santhos is 13 years old but in a very very good condition. He is very active. 

Manuel got to spend some time in the garden as well. He checked out the bird-food, and dug for mice underneath the feeding-place (birdseed that has fallen to the ground tend to attract other small animals hm). He stood there, listening, ready to jump up in the air, to start digging in the snow.

I shot many pictures (as you have noticed) so, well, I will publish yet some more :-)
