First progesterone check
18/10/2026
At the forest veterinarian, which is open 24 hours a day, Tosca’s first progesterone test was done on day 7+. The levels have not started to rise yet, so a follow-up visit is planned in a few days. She is definitely in heat, and she pees high and loves to spread her scents as far as she can with her...
A family affair

Tosca’s heat has started and we have booked a progesterone test so we know we won’t travel abroad too early for the planned mating. Exciting times ahead.
Mamma Chilla was the first one to start. Now we are just waiting for Tosca and then the mating circus begins. Both Tosca and Zuleika are vaccinated against rabies, so Tosca will bring her sister along as company on the mating trip outside the country’s borders. Safest that way! Easiest for dad at home as well. The supplier of the...

Tradition at Sältet calls for midsummer wreaths. The dogs are not as fond of the idea as I am. Once the wreath has been photographed, if it is still intact, it ends up on the TM profile that hangs on the barn wall. It stays there until the autumn wreath arrives sometime in October.
Sorrow and joy goes hand in hand

Living with animals means being close to life, and to death. Humla, almost 12 years old, struggled with joint pain. Since September she was given Librela injections monthly and that helped a lot. The tumours that had been dormant suddenly started to grow and then everything went quick downhills. Almost 11.5 years old we let her go to the...
