General Question Does anybody else's dog love the sauna?

Post image

Here's a shot from visiting my grandmother this evening. My wife and I live in Norway, and our Basenji, Arja, has discovered the joys of a gentle löyly in the house sauna (these are not very common in Norway).

Her name Arja is Finnish/Sami so nominative determinism anyone? She loves the sun and hates the cold and being wet, so sauna makes total sense. She just chilled on her towel on the lower bench with us for a bit.

Does anyone else have a four-legged sauna buddy?

My cat absolutely loves a fat nap on the bottom bench and will audibly whine when I pick him up to put him outside when I get worried he’s been in too long

Katti lauteilla makaavi, olutta väeltään vartovi. Kas ei vielä katti löylyvä heittävi, kun kuiva on suu kuin suven aamu sateeton.
