After I abducted ‘Freja’ my parents needed a replacement and bought this happy-go-lucky eternal puppy 3/4 Labrador 1/4 Golden Retriever. We bought her of a couple who bought her during the Corona period but very reluctantly had to realize they just didn’t have the time to take proper care for a dog like her once they had to go back to their full time jobs.

Though her name is ‘Ronja’ we usually refer to her as the ‘Fool’ cause she is such a playful dog.
She seems to have an endless supply of energy.
She loves to play with other dogs, as here depicted with my sister and brother-in-laws dog ‘Milo’. The two of them can go at it like this on and on for hours without tiring out…

Ronja’s favorite thing is to play in the sea of the shore of Hou Beach. Her retriever instinct is very strong and she loves to fetch anything you will throw for her. Getting it back is another matter though…

Getting such a lovely dog was a real stroke of luck. Though bought ‘second-hand’ one couldn’t wish for a better companion with such a gentle and playful temperament.

Though it must have been hard to let her go for her previous family, we are grateful to have been able to to take over this lovable furry friend 🙂

Though some of the above photos have been captured with quite expensive equipment with animal eye subject tracking and pricey lenses, some of these photos were taken with a simple Canon 2000D / Rebel T7 with a kit lens (Second hand price 250 US$). Can you spot the difference?
