BlueWolf Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hello everyone! I have a big big update. But before that I have to update on something else for those who've followed my journey through Scandinavia for a bit. Because I am back in the Netherlands. Sadly I was without work rather unexpectedly but as I have already realised, last minute changes are very common in the sleddog community up there. The place I was working for had too many people. But since I was outsourced to another kennel in Finland in the mean time it wasn't a problem, until that company decided that they didn't need my help any more and sent me back... So they weren't prepared for that which meant I had no place to stay. And thus I am now without a job. I have stuck around for a week at a nearby camping site looking for other work but every other kennel already had plenty of people. So for now I am back in the Netherlands, planning my next move. I have now found work again starting in June with a good chance that I can stay there all the way through the winter. This is the exact area I eventually want to move to so it will give be a great opportunity to look around for a permanent job. However this meant just waiting 8 months in boring Netherlands which wasn't really a fun outlook... So for the big update.... Meet Dex! He's not here just yet. We're gonna collect him this Saturday hopefully. But we have visited him today and I pretty much instantaneously fell in love with him. Which is good because he won't be Ruth's dog but instead this lovely 1,5 year old boy will be my very (finally!) first dog I will own Today we brought Wodak along with us since he was the only uncertain factor but they did incredible well. Wodak wasn't yet ready to have him all up close yet but Dex got the hints and backed off when needed. Wodak has always been playful but never could with Glala and Dana. Dex is nothing but a huge bundle of playful energy so I am confident that over time these two will get along fine. Dex is an incredible goofy and fun dog to be around with. He has a great personality. I'm sure he'll give me lots of work, lol. But I am more okay with that. Today I also left my parents house and moved in with Ruth. While I'm here in the Netherlands Dex will be living here with the rest of the gang. But when I'll be out to Sweden to work with sleddogs again he'll be my travelling companion and potentially even work with me. Ruth is being an amazing person to me for willing to provide me a home for both me and a dog while I am here. There were some other dogs around as well. Tried getting some photos of him playing but mobile + darkness don't make good photos. But it's better than nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capelle aan Den IJssel. Not actually *that* far away, but during the busy hours of the day (read: all of them) you'll do nothing but driving in traffic jams.

BlueWolf Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Just arrived home with Dex. Wodak made sure he knows he's the leader but now that Dex understands that all if fine. Glala is secretly loving having a new dog around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
