Sumo
Hej hej! I am Sumo. Here you can follow the everyday minpin life of the miniature pinscher Sumo.
🎄Christmas, is a time to be grateful. Grateful about all the edibles, grateful about reaching into the garbage can at the age of 14 ripping all the content out, grateful of those with us and those not, and about just be here and now✨What's your favorite thing 👍 or beef 🍖 about Christmas?🎄 Whatever you do, you do you. I'm grateful to see you care and think about me and myowner😌Minpinstagram still means a lot to us, and each and everyone of you as well - both those here and those among the stars⭐ I'm grateful that whenever I come on here, occasionally, the love is pawsome🌎❤️ So, I'm grateful to have so many amazing friends around the world (and maybe in space, are there spacepins?👽) and just want to say that we wish you a wonderful Christmas time🤗 - take care of one another and remember, all we need is love (and accessible edibles)💙🎁🎅🤶🎄✨
❗On days like this with +25°C (+77 °F), temperatures in locked cars reach +47°C (116.6 °F) and above🚗☀️😱Cars become death traps to us pets☠️😭So please, SHARE and REMEMBER to keep us pets rehydrated 💦 and to quote Mommie Dearest: NO PETS IN HOT LOCKED CARS EEEEVER⚠️
Parked and locked cars become death traps to us pets 🚗☀️⚠️☠️ Humans - share and let's make sure no pets are left in hot, locked cars!🐾
Bring your popcorn🍿for today is the launch of the Arken Zoo summer campaign starring yours truly!😎✨I'm great as a minpin in distress right? 🎭🎥🐶 And we all know myowner is just acting too, he'd never put me in danger (except starving me, but that is happening eeeevery day between meals🤣)
🔨Värmeslagaren/The Heatstriker helps, supported by Swedish law, break the car window to save pets in distress in hot locked cars😵 This product is available in selected stores with all the profits given to the Swedish Animal Ambulance!🚑💰
Hopefully Värmeslagaren/the Heatstriker will never be needed but if, don't be cruel - use the tool! 🚘🔨
You can watch the Swedish version here and the international version in the comments section in this post 🙂🙃 and find superimportant information at www.arkenzoo.se/varmeslagaren (in Swedish)
What to do if a pet is in distress in a hot locked car:
🚗Make sure the door is actually locked
🌬️Look for any form of ventilation and flow of air
📝Note time and registration number
🚨In an emergency, dial the national emergency number 112. Otherwise call 114 14
🔨Break the car window
💦Ge the pet out and give water
I'll be posting behind the scenes shots and more photos from the campaign later on in the week since this will be a supper warm week in Sweden and reminders are due🥵☀️
I'm so happy to front such an important campaign with a life saving message - no pets in hot locked cars, right peeps? ✌️
"Alright Mr. DeMille, I'm Ready for My Close-Up." So, at the age of 14 I'm making my professional acting debut 🐶🎥🎬 On the set with a pawsome team of creative directors, art designers, film photographers and photographers, production managers, costars and of course the assistant, myowner😎Cleared the mandatory health check up at the vet up with a breeze and sailed through an entire day of acting and filming like a pro✌️Can't reveal any more details right now but stay tuned, keep your eyes opened and have them popcorns ready on the 12th of June🍿 I'm sniffing an Oscar already...
*the sign says "filminspelning" kind of translate to hot set since I'm fluent in the language of the pictures now🎬
🥳 Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Sumo, happy birthday to me!🐶🎉
❓👉Many of you have been asking how we're doing and we're good😊👍 After more than a decade, and reaching a respectable age, I decided to go Dowager Countess and yank the social media telegraph cables out of the manor house socket. Sorry if I worried anybody (thanks for reaching out❤️), we simply decided for a break spending our time in life, rather than online🙃 Aware life moves along I really hope all of you are doing as good as possible, all our minpinstagram friends are in our hearts, always!✨
🎈 Anyways, this day marks my 14th birthday and I wanted to pop my long snout in and celebrate with all of you🎊
🥱 Waking up, myowner said "if you wear the hat, I do the birthday song. Who could refuse?🥳🎶
🐕🚑 You know, I have a loving home, kind of enough of food (...), great friends and a rich life✌️so this year we decided to donate to our local dog shelter and the pet ambulance instead of buying things I don't need🎁 Always consider adopting, if you're looking for a companion🐾And I myself needed the free ambulance service, run by volunteers, at one point and we are forever grateful🙏
🐶 🐶 Since it's my birthday Stellinski treated me to lunch. A good friend always knows what you favor and will join in wearing a party har in public🤣🥹She says hi everypawdy!🐾
🎂 And no birthday without my favorite birthday cake, liver and treats😋🍰
🥲All and all, I'm grateful to be healthy, happy, energetic and still myself 🐶 and to have a loving family always surrounding me with the best love and care❤️🐾 For all we need is love...and tenderloin.😜And always thankful for mom and dad, Mimmi and Aussie🐶🐶✨and kennelowner Ingegerd for giving me a great start in life!🥹
Paws up from Sweden and sniff ya'll later!🐾🇸🇪

🎄God Jul!🎅🐶✨Christmas Eve and I'm all dressed up for Christmas🦌 Our plans for the day is lighting candles for those no longer among us but with us in memory🕯️, go for a Christmas walk (it's -16 🥶), what's the annual classic Disney 3pm show (millions of swedes watch this because, well, we're Swedes🦆) then, THE FOOD!! 🐷 Christmas ham, herring and salmon🐟 meatballs and sausages, bread and cheese🧀 Then top it all off with Santa's Christmas presents🎁🤩That's our traditional Christmas Eve! Me and myfamily wishes all of our family, friends, minpinbuddies and those around you a very pawsome Christmas!🐾🎄 And as always in times like these we send a special, extra grateful, thought to all those who work when the rest of us don't - a big and heartfelt thank you🤗
After Alma left we took a walk along the canal up to the Stockholm City Hall🌆 This is were they yesterday held the Nobel Prize Dinner and party🏅 Can't believe I still haven't gotten an invite..must have gotten lost in the mail🤔 Anyways, they had this pawsome light show to enjoy and I guess that's better than nothing (still would have liked to get invited to the dinner though😋)🪩🔦PS! The city hall was designed by Ragnar Östberg and was inaugurated on 23 June 1923. It holds huge ceremonial halls and cool pieces of art, and is the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet held on 10 December every year. It also houses offices for 300 people including the City Council. Now you know!🤓
Happy 3rd of Advent 🕯️🕯️🕯️ from me and my friend Alma - the sheltie 🐶 🐶 Haven't seen her in a while since she had surgery and everything but it all turned out well and now she's all good again🙏✨ It's always nice to have Alma over because she brings her own blanket, her fur, and never tried to hog mine (*cough*looking at you*cough cough*Stellinski😆) Anyways, we just wanted to say hi 👋
🧣Happy scarfday!🎉It’s been a while but you know the drill, when the work week is gone, the scarf comes on✌️And no better way to reboot scarfday than with my bestest friend in the whole world, Stellinski🐶🐶Even though we not always see nose to nose we do have a blast in each others company🐾 and I’m grateful to have a pinhead friend like Stella😌And let’s be honest, it’s always good to be able to find moments in life to express gratitude😊 Anyways, hope everypawdy has had a great week - and again, a happy scarfday from me and Stella!🐾 🐾
Yes. There are two blankets. One each to maintain household piece🧐(but myowner pointed out, we are actually basically on the one and same blanket. Blanket issues are big thing in our house).
Stellinski lives by the decree that when it comes to certain things in life “caring is not sharing”📜✋ Apparently blanket sharing is one of those things🥴
Are you there peeps? 👀 I’m here ✌️ I know we’ve been a bit offline lately, it’s been a little stressful times and on top of that I have paws 🐾 meaning I need help to write my posts. But we’re good, taking digital detoxes and enjoying life so no worries 😌 Hope everypawdy are doing good? Who wants to see a little reel of my summer 2022 minpin shenanigans? 🐶 ☀️
So myowner woke me up to say I am going to see a friend and that we needed to catch the train 🚊 Guess who I’m going to see…?
🥱
🧣Happy scarfday!🤡I’m at one of my most favorite places in the world, grandma’s place - so much love, so much food, so much snuggles🌍❤️Been a busy bee 🐝 out and about, going in the car 🚙 meeting up with my cousin Rolle the American cocker spaniel dog 🐶 and my mini-human cousins ✌️ Me and Rolle shared a dog beer yesterday 🐶🍻🐶 and today the mini-cousins went to a circus 🎪 and I got myself a red nose on account of a) being a constant clown and b) to support Clowns Without Borders 🤡 I’m good pin that way! Anyways, tonight we’re cheering on the Swedish team in the UEFA women’s euro 2022 quarterfinals ⚽️🙆♀️🇸🇪 and tomorrow we are going on another road trip! Pawsome summer so far 🌞Hope everyone is having a great summer too! Paws up from grandma’s place🐾
🧣Here are some more scarfday pictures ~ the local miner statue🧑🏭, outside the bosses villa where I acquired pie🥧😋, and then trying out the lift operators box where all the lifts up and down the mine was run🕳👀Not sure if I could work in a mine, I guess I just mine my own business🤣Well, there’s some history from these parts, oh, and also this little town houses one of Sweden’s biggest and most famous breweries🍻Beer and ore✌️What else does one need! Hope everyone has had a pawsome week and are looking forward to the weekend - when the work week is gone, the scarf comes on so again, happy scarfday peeps!🐾🥳Now I must go and “help” grandpa finish his ice cream🍨😇Sniff you later!
😎
Back in the city I got myself a minpin-fan🌬🐶 Ya’ll know I love the heat, but it’s been Celsius 26+ since we got back, so quoting Miss Hilton when I say “that’s hot”🥵☀️
“All sweet things must come to an end, so that they can be experienced again and again”📖✨That’s an old minpin quote and applies to lots of things in life, like our pawsome midsummer weekend by the sea🌊🏡☀️The weather was great, the food (included that salmon pie I acquired 🥧) was delicious and the company was warm and heartfelt❤️Throw in some boating and car driving into the mix and you have total bliss🤩Wonderful times and I got the Harry Pinscher scar to prove it⚡️Can’t wait to come back and visit again, with or without a helmet🪖🤣Sorry for bombing you guys, I still have the photos from my weekend with grandma and the other weekend with grandpa to post🤪I’ll be back!😎
Here’s some stills 📷 from our boat trip🌊🚤We went across the open sea to this little bay to sun ☀️ and…swim (!)😱I refused but basically got keeled😩However, one thing is for certain - I like my boats like I like my cars, FAST 🚙💨 🚤💨✌🏼😎 Slept all the way through the choppy rough see🥱 🐾🌊🤣
🎉🧣Happy Scarfday & Glad Midsommar!🌺🐾
My Midsummer’s Eve so far🌺We had breakfast outside, you all saw that, then we went up to a hill to have bubbles and celebrate midsummer🥂🍾Going back I fell and hit my head in the forest🥺🤕🌲so now I look like the wizard Harry Pinscher🧙🏼♂️⚡️But that didn’t stop me from “acquiring” some salmon pie🥧😈and being told to have a time out😝We also went to see the humans dance that little frog thingy they always do, it’s Swedish tradition (!) around the maypole🐸🇸🇪In-between all shenanigans I had some recharging moments whenever and wherever suitable😴🔋Tonight we’re having BBQ in the sunset🌅and I got my very own midsummer wrath! It’s tradition🌸🌺💐All in all, a bloody good day to be a minpin I must say!😎And just a reminder to always fight for the good causes in the world and remember who you are, what you have got and whoever you have around you💚Together we are strong!💪🏻♀Paws up from me and myfamily🐾
🧣Happy scarfday peeps!🎉Myowner is away so I’m at Stella’s and we’re greeting ourselves celebrating scarfday properly in style!🐶🍓🥂🍓🐶I know I promised some photos from my long weekends but my assistant has been so busy lately🐝And you know, having paws makes it difficult to post 🐾📱..or at least write🤣Aaaanyways, hope you’ve a had a great week and will have a pawsome weekend, sniff your later!✌🏼🌞
“Before you post your photos and/or have your lazy day, you could help me out with the shores” myowner said😩it’s not even my stuff in the basket🧺😑But then he added “I pay you in tenderloin”. Well, I mean, tenderloin, come on - yeah, you get the idea🥩😋
🧣Happy scarfday!🎉 When you do basically anything for them last rays of Sun😎☀️Came back home yesterday after a week of traveling, first at grandmas and then..Stellinskis’!🐶🐶So much fun but exhausting and you know what they say, there’s no place like home🏡❤️Now, who wants to see some pictures from my week?📷🙃
I should be allowed to drive - I’m over 13?🤨Besides, whenever we go slow I need to (!) whine and whenever we go fast I go fast to sleep 😴🚙💨So basically, I need to drive so that we go fast fast fast💨but that means.. I’d fall asleep?🤔 Need to figure this out! And of course we go in a Volvo, we’re Swedish!🇸🇪🥸
Toodles✌🏼noodles🍜and toy poodles🐩Been raining cats and dogs all day🐱🐶☔️ so I’m giving you a little throwback from last weekend at grandpa’s when I took my friend Alma the sheltie to see all my favorite spots in the forest🌲🪵🐶🐶🌲So much to sniff!!👀Now, she says I’m intense but she has the appetite of a minpin - as soon as a treat is offered she goes full croc on ourowners🐊That’s the spirit but leave some for me furball!🙃Anyways, we enjoyed or forest walk, there’s less bikers, joggers, electric scooters, baby carriages etc. in the forest compared to at home in Stockholm but alas, also less tenderloin🥩🤣
Woop woop, happy scarfday!🧣🎉🐾What a day, been raining all day on and off☔️and I’ve been on a road trip to one of’’em garden centers to pick out stuff for grandpas garden🌱 Asked if they had one of those meatball plants 🪴 👀 but all they had was lots of other plants and a cat that wouldn’t allow me to sniff her butt😾Then back home for tenderloin snuggles and hanging out with grandpa👴All this fresh air and shenanigans makes me tired🥱Hopefully I can go for longer walks tomorrow so I’ll snuggle up under the covers for now wishing everypawdy a great scarfday and nite nite - don’t let the minpin bite, more than called for!🐶💤🌛✨
We went on a road trip to see grandpa and guess what, Alma the Sheltie 🐕 and herowner The Night Nurse 👩🏻⚕️ came with us since their family lives in the same town as grandpa🙃At first I was very skeptical about this arrangement🤨but I was told car sharing is caring, caring about both friends and environment, and also I was told to behave like a gentlepin so, oh well, off we went🚙🐶🐶We even made a pitch stop at the French fries place🍟👀Apparently me and alma have totally different table manners🤣Anyways, can’t wait to enjoy our long weekend since we’re off - grandpas food 😋, walks in the forest and fresh country air🌬🌲And tomorrow is scarfday and everything✌🏼Now, let’s roll, anything below 100 km/h and I’ll express my vocal opinion 📢🐶Floor it driver!🚙💨
