12 - 15 monthsPosted by Marianne Strømsborg Klever Tue, June 17, 2008 22:11:57HEY!!!The day before I turn 16 months I thought it was right to give a short update. In previous post I was very proud of the AA result on my Xray. I still am, of course. But we have been at the vet three times since...because I scratched my ears and it turned out I had to be put on some medicine. Hmmmm... The vet think it´s my food, Marianne think it´s my tick collar...I don´t know, but it doesn´t itch in my ears now.
The days are busy, and I sort of appreciate when we are all three together. Sometimes I wonder if M&M has forgotten that. Marianne has participated in a big excercise. I got all confused actually, because she came home at the strangest times and then suddenly left again. You can see me here in the bedroom window, looking at her when she leaves...
Can you see me??? I´m the little golden spot in the window a the top floor...
During weekends we are all together, and we sailed Magica to Oscarsborg where Marianne went to officers school (some decades ago!!!) And actually her artillery gun, who used to be placed at Grøtavær Fort in the northern part f Norway, now is at the museum...but Marianne told us ALL about it, and that she was the commander to 18 pax in the crew (which was necessary to be able to shoot)
Last commander on a double 60 inch...
We recieved a SITRAP from Kent (brother of Trickster). He passed the first tests to officers school:
3000 m: 12.58
Hangups: 5
Situps: 34
Intervju, psykiske/kognitive tester
Now he is at the next level at Kjevik, Kristiansand!!!
Yippi!!!!Well, back to me and sailing. I´m more brave this year, and I actually run at deck. At this picture M&M FORCED me to lay still, because they TRIED to make the same setting as last year (ie the background picture) - without success if you ask me
Under deck I was quit worried for a little time, because I could NOT find my bed. But I suddenly I found it in "owners cabin" - puh, M&M remebered!!! Love it!
TAKE CARE!!!
12 - 15 monthsPosted by Marianne Strømsborg Klever Wed, June 04, 2008 20:33:56...I met M&M for the very first time!!! This is the day they showed up in Aiyana´s kitchen and the moment when I adopted them...immediately
I have no regrets!!! And as a big surprise at this day, the results from my ADHD test was published at NKK... and the visit at the vet at Moss Dyreklinikk was time well spent (they drugged me!) M&M didn´t tell Aiyana about the visit, because they wanted to surprise her (because they were so LATE). They are quit busy these days and they both took time off from work to be with me at the vet.
Anyhow, the result... A-A !!! YEPP - it´s
proved that I´m great (in case any of you had any doubts...)
Saturday we took Magica home to Hankø. The wind was so nice that I could spend the hole journey (7 hours) in cockpit. I liked that. It´s so nice to be together with M&M instead of down under deck (alone) in my cabin. I´ve finally got the point...I have to look
UP to see what causes the noices, and I try to understand this sail thing...
One thing I do understand is that I shall not chew on these ropes...
The sail you see on the picture is the Genoa (2), the engine when we are sailng. The main sail is far far over my head (approx 70 inches above the deck)
(
YES, M&M have to buy me a new life jacket...
AGAIN!!! I´m a big girl now (31,5 kg))
It was a beautiful evening "home" at Hankø 
TAKE CARE !!!
12 - 15 monthsPosted by Marianne Strømsborg Klever Sun, May 18, 2008 22:15:40HEY!!!Just for the record - I meant
EVERY word about Aiyana (my dear and lovely breader). She took good care of me, gave me a great start in life - and especially in my "between families period". I appreciate that the first-born puppy in the water litter was given the little pink dot - and it was in honor of me
I think my little sister is soooooo cute, and yes - she has a very pretty head. I think she will always be pretty, just look at me
17 mai was a very nice day - we just relaxed at home. The weather was awful - 4 degrees, gail force 6 and heavy rain!!! M&M decided it was nice weather to stay inside - he he - no wonder I love them
They found knew fod for me - Royal Canin for GOLDEN...so now I eat (again) and I know the word "griseøre".
Marianne tells me that Kent tried (finally) to run the notorious 3000 m on time - and with a very good result. Totally accepted Kent - now you know what it´s like, and can forget about the nerves
I´ve made a lot of four legged friends in my neighbourhood (Arthur is a Mops, Bulle is a Berner Sennen, a very special Schæfer (coward) is not really my friend but I see him now and then. Also I´ve seen (but not met yet) a Dalmatiner and a groumpy puddel). Through blog activity we keep some contact with Whisky - a sweet Belgian (whiskylullabye.blogg.no) I think I meet her one day.
I just have to tell you a special story. One day a 6 months Golden girl came to see me when we where outside - and for the very first time I marked my territoy to another dog.
GRRRRRRR!!!!! You would be proud of me uncle Djembe!!! M&M will try to take some pictures some day of me and my friends!
TAKE CARE!!!
12 - 15 monthsPosted by Marianne Strømsborg Klever Fri, May 09, 2008 20:27:25HEY!!!
Just wanted to tell you...that something has happened!!! I´m MUCH MUCH MUCH more calm. I sleep more, I don´t entertain M&M with a couples of "wolf hours" every day and I get compliments because I´m calm - even when I greet new people (!) Believe it or not!!! It´s such a big change that M&M for a while thought I was sick (!) I don´t know if it was my second "period", the hot days we have or the fact that I´m a big sister... ANYWAY...
I´m still myself
HAVE A NICE LONG WEEKEND!!!
PS Kent; Please Please Please...Ta tiden på en 3000 - kjenner MANGE som har ødelagt ALT på feil disponering. Halve jobben er gjort (og det gjør ikke så vondt) når du vet hvordan du skal disponere på den FRYKTEDE distansen
TAKE CARE!!!
12 - 15 monthsPosted by Marianne Strømsborg Klever Sun, April 20, 2008 21:55:54GUESS WHAT??? The Water Litter was born April 18th - and I am a BIG sister!!!

We have spent our weekend with Magica. Finally she is back in her right element - the sea! Here is a photo when we arrive at home...
