Hi Tripawds family!

 

It's been a long time since I last wrote to you.  But it does not mean I am forgetting about Tripawds.  There is not a day where I do not think about you. 

 

It will  soon be Oslo's 11-months-ampuversary-day (let say June 30th since there is no 31st) .  I can not believe how fast time goes!!  Almost a year!!  We are still enjoying life to its fullest, trying to not think too much about the future.  That's what we learnt during these last 11-months. 

 

Oslo is still a bit goofy.  No more dady's- socks- eating ( well if he could find a sock on the floor, let me bet he would eat it at once…so give all the credit to Oslo's daddy and mommy rasberry. ) His favorite snack is now toilet or tissue paper.  When we are not at home, he goes in the bathroom and eat what he can find. He unrolls the paper and eats all of it.    How can a dog act as an adult at the age of one and become a puppy at the age of 8 ?? way-confused

 

Here is a picture of Oslo taken 2 weeks ago.  5 minutes after we arrived at my friend's house, we heard that "splish splash noise" … blush of course Oslo had jumped in her water garden.  Let me tell you, tripawds can jump in water gardens but they have a hard time getting out of it way-confused  Laïka (the berneese dog) never had this silly idea in her life…but now that she has seen Oslo doing it, guess what! ?little-devil

 

Take Care,

Suzanne and Oslo
