Settling Down Next Chapter


Hi, I'm Aura. The time is a way before Benito has even born or even before his parents had an idea or should I say that his parents' masters had an idea. The correct time frame for these pictures is somewhere between the end of 1996 until the end of 1998. As you may guess I was happy to be the only dog in the family. I got all goodies and all the attention and life was just smooth.


This is one of those rare situations when I'm sitting alone, quietly and I'm not barking to the cameraman. It's probably because we're in a kitchen and I'm waiting or hoping to get some delicious treats. So, I'm showing the best act that I can to achieve my goal. My motto would be: "Eat more, eat all".

As I was saying, the previous shot was a rare one. Now you can see what I meant by that. This is more like everyday me: peaceful, nice, funny, happy looking and kind - i.e. all what every master could hope for a dog. Take my word; I don't like to be photographed. If you don't, I'll eat your camera next time.

This is the time before that nasty little rodent came in. Nice time I got all the attention and no one stole my toys. This Christmas gift was one of my favorite toys. I took it with me everywhere and even treated as a baby during pseudo gestation.

This is a trip on the ice of lake Pyhäjärvi in Säkylä. Had a lot of trips there and of course a ball is following me everywhere. A good mother will never leave her baby behind.

Ok. I admit it. It was quite boring. Only some lousy toys and snacks now and then, now I have a playmate all the time but no toys. Changed a rodent playmate to 5 toys - was it a bargain or am I too blue eyed?

This is my couch. Don't even think of coming here. Well, maybe if you scratch me we can negotiate a settlement for a tiny peace of sofa. But that means you have to scratch me all the time. Otherwise, beat it!

Even that we Great Danes are really soft and friendly dogs, we may show our tougher side. It's quite funny, I just have to open my mouth and everybody sh............ants. Too many misunderstanding, like in this shot. You may think that I'm really angry when I'm just bored and yawn. People should learn to know us, before they judge us.


This was the end of my solo life as I knew it.
