Eating well, running around, visiting...

Me again :-)

After a few days of reluctant eating, we bought Vom and Hundemat (type 25) wet dog feed (contains chicken, beef intestines/internal organs, salmon and added vitamins). You bet her appetite kicked in with a taste of real meat added to her dry food pellets! Yum, yum!
Her activity level seems to have improved (maybe my imagination), and she has been busy exploring the neighbourhood. Yesterday she went for a run around on the lawn with her mum, Priscila - it is all Priscila can do to outrun her... Phoebe will certainly be a fast dog :-)

Today we all went to visit the kennel of Johanne Sundby, one of the more experienced Siberian Husky racers in Norway. She has given us a lot of good advice and support along the way to aquiring our dog - many thanks to her! She has been lucky to receive a puppy from Hans-Christian Ørjestad (aka "The King"). With parents in the elite of Siberian racing, "little" Bardus is bound to have a good future as a sleddog. I was very happy to see that they got along very well together, despite the fact that 3-month old Bardus is much bigger than 9-week old Phoebe.... Did I mention MUCH bigger!? Phoebe is a careful "foxy" little lady in comparison - doesn't mean she can't try to steal his food! See a video of them here: http://andersf.multiply.com/video/item/51

See you soon!
