Finn living in Engadin (1721m asl) & Ticino, Switzerland. Once-in-a-lifetime dog: Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Grosser Schweizer Sennenhund. Time is our most irreplaceable asset‚ we cannot buy more of it. We can only strive to waste as little as possible.

It’s going to be too warm in #Ticino this weekend. Heading for the mountains and crosding #LucomagnoPass to #Curaglia, in a side valley above Disentis. Beautiful and cool. #Lucomagno #Graubuenden #Switzerland #GreaterSwissMountainDog #gsmd #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #greaterswissmountaindog #Swissy

It has been a fantastic 3 months of summer in the #Engiadine | the high temperatures are bearable in the altitude and it cools nicely during the evenings. Kara luckily enjoys swimming. #Graubuenden #Switzerland #GreaterSwissMountainDog #gsmd #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #greaterswissmountaindog #Swissy

Met male #Swissy 9 mths, big boy. Kara kept the over ambitious, energetic boy in check, very proud telling him not to bother her in the water: you seem uneasy in water, so stop “pestering me”. #Engiadine #Switzerland #GreaterSwissMountainDog #gsmd #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #greaterswissmountaindog

A refreshing morning with 20° on 2300m altitude, just below the #Bernina pass. Three lakes to swim in and extensive pastureland (still without cows) to do some training. #Engiadine #Graubuenden #Switzerland #GreaterSwissMountainDog #gsmd #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #greaterswissmountaindog #Swissy

Last 10 days were dominated with water and swimming to cope with the #heatwave in #Engiadine. It was hot, but still bearable compared to rest of #Switzerland #Graubuenden #Switzerland #GreaterSwissMountainDog #gsmd #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #greaterswissmountaindog #Swissy

Too hot for us in beautiful #Ticino. Headed back to the mountain coolness with nice 24 degrees. We don’t fancy tropical nights, but favor good night sleep instead. #Engiadina #Switzerland #GreaterSwissMountainDog #gsmd #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #greaterswissmountaindog #Swissy

Arrived in Liguria. The country-house in the hills is amazing. The garden is vast and olive trees provide shade. A small stream of water runs through as it is a converted former mill. #Liguria #Italy #GreaterSwissMountainDog #gsmd #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #greaterswissmountaindog #Swissy

Mountains, wide open space, light. The play of light of #Engiadina climate left Friedrich #Nietzsche believing he had found the “birthplace of every hue of silver”. Engiadina shines from the inside. #Switzerland #GreaterSwissMountainDog #gsmd #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #greaterswissmountaindog #Swissy

Retrieve with recall #Engiadina #Switzerland Also practicing that Kara walks to the left or right when we tell her (mostly gesture) to do so from distance. Handy when recalling her might not be the best option. #GreaterSwissMountainDog #gsmd #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #greaterswissmountaindog #Swissy
