After 17 days

the stiches are gone, new x-ray done, all stuff in place, the healing process had started

in the bones and it's growing together.

but it's barely the halv thigh in muscel mass left,

strange, how fast it goes, but hopefully it goes as fast to build it up again,

with lots of physiotherapie.

 

And some new pic's below,

 

Byleist at his ownwers, the Karlsson family,

but he's at kennel Sharraque from time to time in "Kindergarten".

Onkel " Talle",

or Jatal,

or Maymouna's Quaased Jatagan,

and his cousins

Idun and Byleist

Jatal and Byleist in one of there favorite occupations,

mouthfighting and play-growling.

At last, there is allways the same one who diktates when to stop.

But at the and...boys will be boys and it's the boys who have most fun together, right?

 

Now some headshots

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Happy Christmas and New Year

we all at Kennel Sharraque and "St'a Nat" (picture ) as well,

wish the families of the Old Norse litter,

and all the visitors and viewers of Sharraque's webbsite.

 

 

 

 

From 1 day and moment happylie running, jumping and chasing around,

to the other as nearly crippled,

poor, sweet, little Idun.

So much pain!!!!!!

Trough maximus unfortune her lowest part, the growth zone, of  the thighbone

were shattered into peaces!!

Many THANK'S to the vetteam, for the long hourlie effort late in the evening, to fix peaces together again,

skrewing, nailing and wirering.

Now it's waiting a time of calmness for at least 4 weeks in a cage,

no sudden heavylie movements, so boring for a lively salukigirl.

She'll fix it with our support and caretaking. 6 weeks healingprocess,than starts the upbuilding.

With lots of luck and good healingflesh perhaps she can move around without any effort or pain in the future.

We'll hope for the best!!!!!!

 

 

 

Some pictures of Balder finally arrived,

so here they come and some new ones of the hole Old Norse gang.

 

Prince Balder, the "nice guy"

here, surrounded by his buddys

 

a wet Asvinn ( Noa ) in Finland

 

a dry, SWEET Valkyria (Halla) also in Finland

 

2* tuff girl Freja

 

I'm amazed how homogen the result of the Old Norse litter seems to be,

though the total outcrossing and combination of totally different lines!!

 

down below some new pic's of Idun and Byleist,

in the 3'rd attempt of a snowy  winter

Idun sighting the neighbours cat                                                   Byleist trying to be a gun dog pointer? 

(it learned the hard way to keep away from the packs property)                                         ( but not that stylish)                     

 

 

That's Saluki style!

 

Not this, really                                                                                    But this:, Chasing!!

( hope she'll figure out that tooooooo much reach is just for showdogs)                                                                                    

 

 

 

 

Idun just looooves to chase brother Byleist 'cause she allways get him,

she's the faster one!

 

Byleist on the other way thinks he's a flying kangaroo

 

 

        

 

                                                                        

          

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Winter has arrived

Who can find Idun?

"Be carefull boy, don't touch my sensitive feet!!"
