Joop's Dog Log - Wednesday July 21

Joop in Norway #01

Hello everybody, I just returned home after my journey to the Land of the Midnight Sun.
My first foreign trip!
I sure had a great vacation in Norway. So many new smells, so many strange places to check.
Made long walks along big wide fjords and climbed up on tall mountains with my humans.
Met some friendly Viking doggies, they were easy to get along with.
But the Norwegian humans are really different from the Dutch. They have more white hair,
bigger heads, taller bodies, but less talk and softer voices.
They are modest I guess, and a little shy perhaps. And they don`t laugh much.
If I hadn`t been along they might have said nothing al all to my humans.
But a dog gets them talking!
Norwegian humans work hard and take life very seriously.
They drill many long mountain tunnels everywhere for their cars.
They paint their houses each year, always clean up their yards,
and keep all their rooms shipshape. Everything must be decent and clean.
They also made a law that sais dogs should ALWAYS be on a leash in Norway,
always and everywhere. Guess I broke that law a couple of times...
What else? I had a summer holiday love affair (I`ll introduce you to Nelly later).
Marked many old buildings. Visited friends in Bergen city to see their new baby.
Slept in the warm sun on the southern fjord beaches.
Rode a scenic railroad and a cable tram and sailed on many ferry boats.
Lived in our camper. Got a lot of cookies.
But now I`m DOG tired...

Great to have you back. Strange how you can miss something so . . . (strange? weird?), no, amusing as this fotolog. " always clean up their yards, and keep all their rooms shipshape. Everything must be decent and clean" - isn`t that the residents of Nederlands?

Oh, and then I didn`t finish. This shot is very beautiful. It`s hard to realize tho that you got so close to the edge there. But the colors! Oh, my, how beautiful!!

Joop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back my friend. We really missed you a lot. But now you are back, with lots of news and stories to tell us. And we are eager to hear everything from you. You had a terrific tour, although you said norwegian are different. But this is what makes travelling so special. Wherever you go you meet different people, differente culture, a different way of living...
Welcome back again!! Lots of love, Oliver & Co.

Hi Joop...missed you and your smiling face and wonderful words. That is so interesting what you say about Norwegians...sounds like a nice place to live; clean and organized and with quiet people. Here it is quite different...everyone thinks that what they have to say is so important they just have to get it said. But anyway, glad you had a good time, and I look forward to seeing all the great pictures your human took of you and Norway.

What a magnificent view here! Great picture and great story! I like your observations of the Norwegian humans, LOL! There are many similarities with the Swedish humans, ha ha!

bulldog1 @ 2004-07-25 14:54 said:
Joop, I`d love to hang out with you but this cliff looks a little scary. What if Daan showed up and took our cookies and shoved me over the edge? Should bring my mom along, Ms. Heffala Humphrey, because she can boss anyone and she is strong but she is a pig when it comes to toys, cookies, and attention. She is a mother to fear. I bet she could put Daan to running and never coming back to your neighborhood. I have to be up front with you, I am a pig when it comes to cookies and so is my brother.

Puh, Joop be careful! Nice to see you again! What an intersting report of your vacation! ... but always on a leash :-( that seems not the place for us to be.

Dag Joop,

Fijn dat je er weer bent! En groeten aan je baasjes.
Ik kijk weer uit naar je Hollandse avonturen, ik hoop dat ze kunnen opwegen tegen je Noorweegse affaires.
