Miska, a Finnish Spitz, was bred by Doris
Bornemann and came to us as a three year
old when Niina died. Miska joined Greta and they had 7 great years playing together. Miska was a real 'scrounger' and one time managed to find a peach seed - it went in but unfortunately wouldn't come out again. This resulted in a week at the vet and major surgery. Miska was a gentle lady and a beautiful girl. Not long after she arrived Nick wrote the following: |

MISKA'S DAY |
|
6:10 am | The pup's awake, still if I lay still and
pretend I'm asleep, I might get left in -
good it worked. |
6:45 am | Tellies on - up on the bed for a quick snuggle and pat from the boss - then outside with the pup to let the neighbours know I'm awake. |
7:05 am | Job's done - now breakfast! Oh, good titbits from Sue as well - what's on this morning, toast crust with blackberry jam, not as good as honey, pity - still I'll eat it anyway. Hell - looks like another stinking hot day. |
7:45 am | Sue's off to work. Hello - this looks promising, the boss has the fan on in the office, sliding door closed - YES - air-conditioning on. Just enough time for a gallop around the garden chasing birds, and murdering any of the assorted wildlife I can get my teeth into, that includes that bloody pup if she continues to annoy me. |
9:45 am | Time to go in. I'm too tired to bark - I'll get the pup to do it - guess she's some use after all. Great aircon's working a treat - under the desk and sleep. I'd kill that bloody pup if I had more energy. |
11:30 am | This looks bad - the boss' is dressed looks like he's going out - damn it so am I straight out the door. |
12:45 pm | Boss' back - come on Greta couple of yips at the back door plaintive little whine, that's it - now a wistful look from both of us should do the trick. Great it worked - door's open AND AIR-CONDITIONING, back under the desk before he changes his mind. That pup's got to go. |
5:00 pm | Hey, its cool outside - come on time to let the neighbours know we're still here. |
6:15 pm | Sue's home - I don't really care but I'll go through the motions of a big welcome - makes her feel good. Greta on the other hand is a real crawler. |
6:30 pm | What's the boss got for tea? Chicken! You little beauty more titbits. |
6:35 pm | That was nice - now a romp in the garden with Greta - she's not all that bad I suppose - in her own little gruesome way. At least she's a Fink - like me. |
6:50 pm | What making too much noise - moi? You can call all you like, I'm not coming in. Oh - oh that's the boss this time - he sounds a bit cranky - better humour him I suppose. |
9:30 pm | What's that? Tucker, I know what that means - food. That was great - now for a little run around outside. |
9:55 pm | Sounds like the boss has gone to work - oh well it's nice and cool out. You're wasting your time Sue - call all you like - I'll come when I'm good and ready. What's that - bedtime? Why didn't you say - that means air-conditioning - my own little basket - comfort. I'll even put up with that pup. |
12:30 am | The boss' home. I'll just give a few little woofs to let Sue know. You know she looks quite funny hanging off the fan - now I wonder why she did that. I wonder what that Word means. |
1:30 am | Boss' come in - good another pat - he's assured me I'm a good girl. Must remember to give him another welcome when he comes home tomorrow night. |
2:00 am | Light out boss' asleep - bugger it - he's snoring again. |
5:10 am | She's awake early - I'll kill that bloody pup. |
On the couch - her favourite position |
Sitting pretty in the back yard. |
I shouldn't be up here! Says who? |
I'm not laughing at you - I'm laughing with you - really! |
Two little bookends. Miska and Greta |
I'm such a pretty old girl, aren't I? |
I promise I'll never eat another peach seed. |
Tummy tickle time. |
