“Funny story; I did say in my last e-mail that Samuel’s hunting abilities were not the best…. yesterday he took one of the little chickens!!;)) You should have seen his face and eyes!!! “I have nothing in my mouth and have done nothing wrong”!! Only the little chicken’s feet coming out of his mouth….LOL
The chicken did survive, very wet and afraid…..

“Samuel enjoys the Norwegian Autumn with running and playing. Does Samuel love the everyday walking in the mountains? Yes! Does he hunt? No! But Adhorable he is with his wagging tail and he has become a real mummy’s boy never far away from me”
