Slagmarken var offiselt åpnet for dagen og frokosten ble servert. Denne gangen tenkte jeg å være smart og fore dem før jeg gjorde reint. Gudny måtte selvfølgelig stå rett på utsiden av bingen og se sultent på de fire matskålene til valpene. Dermen var de mer opptatt av at moren deres var på utsiden enn at de hadde fått mat. Det endte med at jeg måtte sette meg ned sammen med dem å få dem til å spise litt. Det gikk heldigvis bra.
The battlefield was officially opened and their breakfast was served. This time I thought I’d be smart and give them food before I cleaned their bin. Of course, Gudny had to stand right on the outside of the bin and look like she was starving. Now the puppies were more concerned that their mother was on the outside than they that had food. I ended up having to sit down with them to get them to eat a little. Luckily, it went well.
Maten spist og bingen reingjort. Dermed var tiden for soving kommet og den gjennomførte de med glans.
The food was eaten and the bins was cleaned. The time for sleeping had come and they carried it out with brilliance.
Josefine syntes nok det var på tide at Hippie skulle fikse skjegget sitt. Det gikk over etter hvert og frøkna sovnet hun også.
I think Josefine thought it was time for Hippie to fix her beard. It eventually passed and she fell asleep, too.
Sovetiden gikk raskt over og da var det på tide med litt lek. Når Gudny setter igang storkoser de små seg av skrekkblandet fryd. Det gikk litt roligere for seg inne hos Hippie og Josefine der de lekte i bakgrunnen.
Their sleeping session quickly passed and then it was time for playing. When Gudny gets started, the little ones enjoy the horror-mixed joy. Hippie and Josefine had a little more calm way to play n the background.
Da jeg flyttet opp i Norde Oppdalen for ti år siden var det syv stykk av disse som løp rundt på jordene her oppe. I dag er det kun fire igjen og her er tre av dem. Dette er mor med to årskalver. Det er også en bukk som har travet rundt her innimellom, men nå har jeg ikke sett den på en stund.
When I moved up to Norde Oppdalen ten years ago, seven of these ran around the fields here. Today there are only four left and here are three of them. This is a mother with two calfs that was born this year. There’s also a buck that’s been trotting around here from time to time, but now I haven’t seen him in a while.
Etter lekestunden og lunsj var det en ny sovetid for de små. De er litt søte der de ligger synes jeg.
After the playtime and lunch, there was a new sleeping time for the little ones. I think they’re a little cute when they sleep.
Hippie gravde seg godt ned etter lekestunden med datteren sin før de sovnet.
Hippie dug herself into the blankets after the playing time was over and then they fell asleep.

Tallulah (mitt barnebarn) har hatt bursdag og den måtte feires. Tiden for pakkeåpning var kommet og spenningen var stor da pakkene skulle pakkes opp.
Tallulah (my grandchild) has had her birthday and we were to celebrate today. The time for her gifts had come and the excitement was great when the gifts were to be given to her.
Tallulas pappa Roy Are (min eldste) så ganske tankefull ut. Skulle likt å vite hva det var han tenkte på. Jeg er ikke nysjerrig skjønner du!
Tallula’s dad Roy Are (my eldest) looked pretty thoughtful. I’d love to know what he was thinking. I’m not nosy you know!
Kent – Marius (min yngste) og hans pappa i en dyp samtale så det ut til.
It look like Kent – Marius (my youngest) and his dad has a serious conversation.
Kent-Marius, William og Nina stakk en tur innom etter bursdagsfeiringen var over. De ønsket å hilse på valpene. De hadde aldri sett så unge valper før. Det ble nok litt overrasket begge to tror jeg over hvor små valpene var.
Kent-Marius, William and Nina stopped by after the birthday celebrations were over. They wanted to greet the puppies. Nina and William had never seen such young puppies before. I think they was a little surprised both of them, about how small the puppies were.
Jeg er som de fleste oppdrettere veldig opptatt av at valpene skal få en bra oppdragelse og en av øvelsene i den oppdragelsen er å spise skolisser. Dette har de faktisk blitt veldig dyktig til. Dette gjelder på alle gjesters sko også.
Like most breeders I’m concerned about the right way to give the puppies a good upbringing and one of the exercises in that upbringing is to learn them to eat shoelaces. In fact, they’ve become very good at this. This applies to all guests’ shoes as well.
God natt! – Good night!
