#### Rauha is an assistance dog that is trained to help people with disabilities. She has now been working for about 9 months, but came back because she needed a little bit of training. Before she went working she lived with us for a half year. You try to not get too attached with her but it's almost impossible when you are an animal lover. You can guess how hard it was to let her go the first time and not knowing if you would ever see her again. 

#### Well here she is with us again and it was nice to see that she recognized us. I am so happy to get to see her again but it will be once again hard to say good bye when she's off to work. It's something of a double edged sword for me. I don't know exactly for how long she will be staying with us this time, it could be weeks, months. It's tough to not know.

#### If you have read my previous posts you may know that we have a cat named Picasso. It was exiting to see how these two cuties would get along and it went better than I thought. Rauha was very kind and did nothing that scared her. Picasso on the other hand was a little bit sceptical towards her and liked to provoke her sometimes, but they are building a better friendship all the time! :)

*Best friends forever ;)*

#### Here are some photos of us when we took a walk on the ice yesterday. We both enjoyed it very much!

#### Btw, her name Rauha is a Finnish name and it means peace or peacefulness. It suits her very well because she's a very calm dog indeed. Rauha is such a lovely dog, if I could keep her as my own dog, I would!

#### In one of my next posts I will write and show different kind of tricks that Rauha can do! Stay tuned! :)
