The 2 month anniversary of my arrival in Norway has just passed so I thought it appropriate to do another blog update since I haven’t done one in over a month!
We’ve just had 2 new handlers arrive from Estonia to join the team which is great as the seasons are changing and Autumn is approaching. We should be heading back out to Målselv soon in order to finish painting dog kennels and to train some more dogs – can’t wait!
Below is a gallery showing the construction process of a lavvo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavvo) – a traditional tent used by the native Sami people of northern Scandinavia.

The base slowly takes shape…
Almost there!
Where we built it

Finished!
The finished product. It’s probably about 3 meters high at the tip.
