Quiet, kind, sweet Echo. She always waits her turn, whether to be petted, take a treat or eat her dinner. Echo loves lying on the couch with her head in our lap. With a beautiful stack and a strong square body, Echo would love to wow them in the show ring if only she could find some time between the squirrels and the birds.
Katy was raised by our daughter and son-in-law for the first few years of her life, but came to live with us when they moved into town. Katy is a country girl and is our No. 1 bird dog. No Norrbotten is more athlectic than Katy. She can still run circles around the younger dogs. Playing on the hillside and making sure no critters are out of place is Katy's reason for being put on this earth.
Lucy and her sister Echo came to us as 1 1/2 year old girls. Where Echo felt at home in less than a day, it took Lucy a bit to feel comfortable in her new home. Lucy always stayed back and waited for the others before coming forward to claim her dinner. It may have taken Lucy awhile to adjust, but once she did, she joined in fully, knowing she had found her forever home. Our son, Cory, is Lucy's idol. She is always there with a toy in her mouth and tail wagging, waiting for her pat on her head or rub on her back. It doesn't matter that Lucy was never meant to be a mommy; she has given us so much joy in her zest for life.
Georg was the cutest little puppy you will ever see. Even though at birth, he was as big as a moose (for a Norrbottenspets' puppy) he opted to do all his growing early on and decided to stay a little boy, husky, but not too tall. Georg reminds us of a teddy bear. Like his mother, Katy, he is always ready for a wrestling match and is everybody's friend. While the other Nobs run to jump into whatever vehicle we decide to travel in, Georg patiently waits to be lifted into the seat. You might say that he is royally spoiled.
