Zitty Friday

So, up until the time of dictating this post to Äiti, no one had guessed the identity of the 'thing' on Äiti's fingertip in yesterday's post. We were amused by the idea from Carolyn of 'kitten seed' and then thought what that would really mean. No, we do not want a crop of kittens! I still am traumatised by the arrival of the burmese butterball ninja pair Jaava and Jura: they were like a tornado. *Shudder*

No, the answer is far more mundane that that, and nothing to do with wormies. 

Look closely at Veikko's tailio. It has BLACKHEADS!  He also had some on his chin. Äiti has been, erm, removing them as gently as she can. And that squiggly icky thing was a prize example.

Veikkos has been extremely tolerant of this - mainly through bribery as Äiti has attacked his tailio while he has had his head stuck in food. Here he is licking clean the remains of the salmon she cooked. Seppo is suspicious but he has no visible blackheads so he is safe.

Now Veikko is a clean boy and he does get frequent baths but he is at that teenage greasy stage. He just wanted this photo included to prove he takes his grooming seriously.
