As monsoon season replaces the antiquated term "winter" in Western Europe, Mischa seems to be evolving in the direction of a furry fish...

My Rajasthan Top Ten
"From the cackle of its colour-charged cities to the luminous splendour of its sun-kissed desert, Rajasthan is romantic India wrapped in gaudy royal robes... Compiling a must-see list in Rajasthan can cripple the fussy traveller..." - Lonely Planet
Deciding what to see in Rajasthan can be tough so here's my top ten sights/activities to give you a helping hand on your way...
" The temple complex of Ramgopalji temple is colloquially known as Monkey temple (Galwar Bagh) in travel literature, due to the large tribe of monkeys who live here. These rhesus macaques were featured in National Geographic Channel's Rebel Monkeys series and "Thar Desert - Sacred sand" episode of Wildest India Series. "

The Sadness of Sexual Rejection
I got an email a couple of weeks ago asking about Sam's balls... Is it better to have a pup with dangly bits or say arrividerci to the plums?
Sam has all of his tackle in tact, firstly out of respect for the man-code (never cut off another fellow's balls) and secondly because many Dobermans, Sam included, suffer from Von Willebrand disease which means he could actually bleed to death if you took a knife to his sack (Potential Doberman owners beware!)

The downside to this for Sam is of course the rejection from his ladies when his nuts are sending him into sexual overdrive. He's been trying to get laid for a couple of weeks now but both the Husky and the German Shepherd have sent him packing.
This shot was taken seconds after another toothy rejection from Taia (lying, sex-free, on the floor behind him.)

Swimming Techniques When You've Got Four Legs
 |
| Husky Driftwood at Lago di Fiastra |
Last summer we took the puppies swimming at Lago di Fiastra in Italy and discovered that doggy paddles differ. Taia the husky took to the water like a fish, in fact we didn't even hear a splash when she went in, I simply turned round and some husky-sized, white, fluffy driftwood floated by. Mischa however was a different story. With every stick thrown into the lake, there was a scene reminiscent of a fully clothed Eskimo drowning. OK, she was moving forward in the water but there were definitely no points for style. I tried giving her some tips but just got this look!
