Pinga moves north again, last part

The picture here is from before we got here, when she was still a sled dog on Svalbard.

Well, after a year or so, Pinga moved with us a bit closer to her roots - Tromsø, North Norway. She loves to live here and she loves to go for walks up on the mountain behind our house in Tromsdalen. Straight up for 20 minutes and she is in the landscape she is used to from Svalbard - open mountainplains without too much vegetation. I think she got a bit sick of the big forests in the south eastern parts of Norway. I is easier to breathe in the north, the air is crisp and clear (in a subtle way). She has now also grown up, not a teenager anylonger. She is a bit more reserved in meetings with other dogs, but still very playful. She loves running for sticks and have learned some "trics". She is also great having along on randonnè trips in the mountains adjacent to Tromsø - she gives exactly the little pull necessary to make the trip easier for the one at the other end of the bungee jump, me... The only thing she needs is someone to break trail. She has become a great family dog, she is calm and loving. Annelill and I look forward to the next years with her!
