Norway is a Protestant country with a state church. Many people do not practise their religion even though they consider themselves Christians.

Only Saudi Arabia and Russia export more oil than Norway.
Norway is the best place to live according to a recently publish UN report.

Hello Gunter from Canada! (sorry I can't type two ..)
My mom noticed your blog on D.W.B. She had a penpal (yes, a penpal..a long before Internet era) in your country...
All info about your country is very interesting! Thank you.

Hello Gunter
My mum and I were very interested in what you had to say about your country, Norway. It is great to talk to doggies and their mums and dads around the world and to learn about their countries and their customs.
Thank you very much for wishing me a Happy Birthday, and Beau too.
My mum is a very positive person or else she would not still be actively searching for Beau after 3 years 7 months. Mum does something every day to try to find Beau. She has spent a great deal of her life in the last 3 years 7 months searching for Beau because she loves him so much. This does not mean she does not love us just as much. Mum visualises Beau as being well cared for because otherwise she would go insane. However, people who steal other people's dogs do not look after them, and mum has made the effort to contact EVERY vet in Australia more than once, so this is not good sign.
People don't want to think about what really happens to dogs when they are stolen, but this does not help the dog.
My mum told me the only thing which keeps her going is us. She talks to us all the time and explains her feelings to us, so we understand, and we love her for caring about Beau because this shows how much she cares about us.
It would be great if you and your parents visited Australia again as we would love to meet you.
The Gold Coast has become very busy but it's still a very nice place to live, and it depends on how you want to live your life. We live in the Hinterland and in our street live horses, goats, donkeys and cows as well as dogs and cats and the wildlife. And we can still go and run on a leash free dog park on the beach.
Love from your friend, Hammer
Hi Buddy,
Your home sounds really fun!
I wish I could come visit you - we could play in the snow together!
