My wife's friend from Brazil, Silvia, is here to visit us. Yesterday we went for a nice walk in Frognerparken / Vigelandsparken - Priscila, Silvia, Phoebe and me.
First we passed via the "dog play yard" - dog owners from all over Oslo gather there to let their dogs run around (or is it to run amok!?). It was a bit early for Phoebe to hang out with the leashless dogs, so we walked on into the actual Vigeland Sculpture Park. This was also very good training for her, as she met thousands of people. She now knows that we do not stop and sniff / greet / say hi to everyone on our way....! Even so, everyone who saw her and are remotely interested in dogs would comment on her good looks :-)We certainly made the day for a young Norwegian girl whom had her picture taken with Phoebe, as well as a young Dutch girl whom had recently bought a Siberian Husky cuddly toy, and now got to meet one IN REAL LIFE!
Perhaps some future recruits to the SH community!?
At one end of the park we stopped for a few minutes whilst the (human) girls took some pictures - suddenly someone called me in English... Rememeber that I went to Edinburgh for a business trip recently!? Well - Warren one of my business associates did mention that he was going to Oslo to visit his brother.....and there they were!!! What a small world! Introductions were made amongst the 2-legged ones, and Phoebe was wagging her tail to meet the new people...!
All in all - a very good Sunday was had by all!
