Meet Gust, an 8-month-old Toller (Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever) from Belgium.
Gust and his family are on a road trip through Norway and Sweden and they delighted us with a visit. Our paddleboards were ready for action, but the weather was much more suitable for a curious crystal hunting expedition.

While Gust does love eating or collecting a good rock, he wasn’t really into the crystals, so while we were digging and searching, he was testing some sticks and pine cones- and looking at his face, they did seem to be quite tasteful :-D.

Thousands of ‘diamonds’.

At first, Lizzie wasn’t very impressed by this fluffy guy because she doesn’t appreciate in-your-face-meetings, but slowly they got more used to each other. By day 2 it was Lizzie teasing Gust to play with her!

Sara, Sven, Emily, Erinn, and Gust, thank you very much for visiting!
