Moomingirl, are you Finnish? Like Krabo?

Probably not. She's coy about her location.

Moomins live in Moomin Valley.

We all love Moomingirl.

Hey, Moomin, do you like soccer? Either way, I think you'll like this soccer game

Tres bien!

That's boring to watch.

Wrong.

They will be featured at the next Olympics playing their new sport.

I'll be watching the next Olympics

@Skilpadde - okay, I wish for the money to buy a large castle - is that better? I'm not much of a sports fan, but that kind of football I could watch. My dog wouldn't be much good at that. He chews balls until they pop, and then tears them into small pieces. Toys don't last very long with him.

@Cockroach - nope, the character in my avatar is Moomin (short for Moomintroll). As Kyle says, from the Finnish children's book series. Although the author Tove Jansson was in fact one of the minority of Swedish speaking Finnish people, so the books were originally written in Swedish, not Finnish.

@Kraftiekortie - no, I'm just interested in many things Finnish. I'm English, although I have been living in New Zealand for the last 15 years.

Yeah, the money to buy a large castle is much better! My dog wouldn't have done that either. Viggo wasn't very playful, he just had the occasional moment when he would encourage us to play with him, fetching sticks, playing with ball or playing tug of war. And he was done with playing as suddenly as he started.
He surprised us all once when he was 10 and started chasing his own tail while visiting my grandfather. We had never seen him chase his tail before, but age 10 he found it suitable
When we came home to him he would always grab something with his mouth to greet us with. He had toys we had tug of war with, and we tried to put them where he would be likely to pick that, but he much preferred slippers, shoes, socks, gloves and mittens.

Make sure he doesn't chew your shoes.

Sadly Viggo is no longer with us.


My old dog once chewed my complete works of Shakespeare. I still have it, even though the first few pages have teeth marks through some parts.
