Not enough snow at the moment GA.  They all live outdoors in pens so she has to have them out for exercise, clean up their mess and of course feed them.  She is doing it as a favour and she will be able to borrow them when there is enough snow.

They look lovely. Poor Sally - she has such a normal name compared to the others.  :)

I thought the same thing.

I was talking to my daughter (Skype) earlier and she is also looking after a 5 month old puppy Nala for 3 weeks.  She was showing me what tricks Nala can do and she was having to give her commands in Norwegian.  :lol:

I'd love to have a go at something like that!   :) :)

You're not the only one.  I am hoping her boyfriend can't get time off to come home for Christmas and then we might be able to go visit and see the Northern Lights.   :wub:

Have added you splash101.   :lol:

Well she is still in one piece, this is the message she sent me tonight "Well I survived my first trip on my own to the dog yard......I got them dominated ;) hehe. Lovely dogs."  She was told by the owner she needed to dominate them and he demonstrated how to do it.  She said they were so well behaved, he stood on a box and when he told them to go to one corner and then to lay down they all did it immediately.

Here are a few photos of Nala, the puppy she is also looking after.

 :lol:  You will have to join the queue.

The problem is when she goes back to Scotland in September she will be leaving her boyfriend and Nala over there.  She is part of her pack now and Nala really missed her when she went to Oslo last weekend.   :(

Nala is a little beauty. :) You say looking after, not her dog then? Shame, or she could get Nala passported to come back here.  :mellow:

No she and her boyfriend share an apartment and Nala belongs to her flatmate who is away for 3 weeks.  She has had the most interaction with Nala from being a tiny pup so it is going to be really difficult for her to leave.   :( 

She has said that she is the laziest dog though and has to be dragged out for a walk, more like a cat is what she said!   ::)
