Description

Do you remember this gentleman?
Yup, It's S*Jamaloss Baltsar Nobel. He's all grown up now, as you can see. He's 7 years and 8 months old in this photo. He moved in with my sister when I left Norway for the UK. The plan was always that he, and Mizzie, were coming with me. I started them on rabies vaccinations and even got them "passports" to show the proper vaccines had been given. Then something happened, and there was a full extra year's wait to bring them with me. It just wasn't possible for me to wait another year. So off they both went to live with my sister and her family. My sister fell ill some time ago and they weren't able to look after them properly. After some back and forth, we found a family who were recommended by a breeder I know in Norway. The family seemed excellent and they took both Baltsar and Mizzie. Unfortunaly disaster struck and Mizzie became very ill; her kidneys failed. She slept in peacefully at the veterinarians, and I was left in shock. This was all some time ago. And now, recently, I was able to visit Norway. I asked the family if I could meet Baltsar again.

So, around the middle of July this year, I went to see him. He was his usual self, a bit of scared. It took him about 5 minutes though, and he seemed to recognise me, and promptly sat on my lap. The family he's with now is great. He gets tons of attention, gets to play (yes, he still enjoys chasing a feather stick, at almost 8 years old!) and gets pampered. He is a really big boy and he's being treated very well. I'm so happy he's there, but so unhappy he's not here. However, I wouldn't dream of taking him away from the family he's with now.
