Hello!

Today we were at the Syke shopping centre ("syke" = "heartbeat") petshop Musti & Mirri, visiting an event where a local pet union had brought their dogs for petting and to familiarize with. It was fun for the boys.

There was also an old 90's singing group Aikakone ("time machine") performing on the stage, but Miro soon got bored listening and wanted to go home. So Vera took him home on a bus, and Leo stayed behind with me, as we were to go shopping for clothes later.

Aikakone made their fame (and were mostly active) in 1995-1998. In 2001 they made a comeback under the name "Aika" ("Time"), which they later in 2003 changed back into Aikakone, and paused their production soon thereafter. In 2008 they released Greatest Hits collection and started touring again.

Neiti Groove:

Is she looking at my camera?

Their another original lead singer, Vera Puurula had quit the band in 2013, but her place was eventually filled by Jazu (Jasmin Hertzberg), who seems to love cameras. :)

Sani (Saija Aartela)

Keltainen:

She's still checking out my camera!

The male members of the band are Alex (Alex Ojasti) and Maki (Marko Kolehmainen).

They really like performing together I think. :)

I must be a very interesting photographer.

Oh yes, I was the only one with a real camera, all the other people only had cellphones or those thumbcam video cameras. Maybe she thought I was a member of the press.

Returning back to the pet shop we met Rasmus:

Rasmus was also very interested in my camera.

Rasmus is a lovely Old English Sheepdog who really loved to lick people's faces and ears. Gladly my allergies were at bay and I didn't get any reaction this time.

While we were there, Leo and I also met Siiri, a black Labrador Retriever.

She was very shy at first, kept her tail between her legs and almost shook when people got too close.

It didn't take long for her to relax and start showing off. :)

"I'll do anything for those yummy treats..."

The rest of the day went by as we were washing the car, scouring the shops for new socks and underware for Leo and Miro, and back home for some pizza and games (Leo & Miro), and mine as I was writing this Steem article. :)

I sure had a great day, and I hope you liked it too.

See you guys tomorrow!
