Descripción
The family consist of me, Marit, my husband Eystein, who is blind, a Labrador guide dog and a pack of Papillons, at the time 11 in different ages, and also litters with puppies now and then.
Eystein has worked as a physiotherapist for over 40 years, but is now retired. I am a CEO of a center and work to develop an entirely new nuclear reactor technology for thorium. I also write books and usually work from home. In addition, we have 12 dogs that need walking and care, as well as a large garden that we are in the process of planting with fruit trees, berry bushes, vegetable beds, and more. There is more than enough to do, and we could certainly use some help.
We live in the countryside in beautiful Telemark, surrounded by stunning nature and rich cultural heritage, including Heddal Stave Church, several old stone churches, Patmos Sculpture Park, swimming spots, and much more. As we both have some limitations, it is not always easy to manage everything on our own, so Workaway could be a wonderful solution.
We live by Norsjø, about 2 km from First Camp Norsjø. It's a big lake, surrounded by the beautiful Norwegian nature which we gladly help you to discover.

If you have a driving license you can sometimes borrow the car and get around. You can walk in the nature, and see mountains and the lake from our house.
I have been a breeder for more than 30 years, and previously for over 10 years been a leader and breeding council. I am very interested in genetics and do a combination only if I think this will add something positive to the breed. All my dogs are DNA-tested. Dog Show is not only a virtue out of necessity, but has also been an enjoyable hobby over the years. I am also a ring steward and an instructor in obedience, and a fan of clicker training. If you have future plans of showing and breeding, I will be more that happy to share my knowledge with you.
Ayuda
We are looking for one or two responsible, reliable, sporty, and positiv persons, that can stay for 3-4 weeks, or maybe longer. You have to love dogs, and would like to help us with training and taking care of our Papillons, which also includes cleaning, fixing things and maintenance work in and around the garden and house. You will help with walking the dogs, socialize and feed the puppies, and looking after them if we need to go some where.
We prefer somebody with experience with dogs, but it is not a must. If you want to learn, I'll teach you. You are flexible, because every day is different. You are independent and can work alone.
As a physiotherapist, Eystein has a lot of knowledge, which he will be happy to share. He also has experience with diets related to various diseases, and psychological problems among many other things. We both likes good discussions.
If you think this would be perfect for you, we would love to hear from you!
Send us an email about yourself: Who you are, and your working experience. A photo of yourself would be nice. If you have more information to give, that is always welcome!

Alojamiento
Our workawayers will sleep in a guest room in our house. You will have your own bathroom with a shower. Bedroom with 2 beds, so there are room for a couple or two friends.
We will provide food, and you'll be able to taste traditional Norwegian foods, as well as healthy meals with low GI. All food will be gluten-free, and very little diary. We do eat fish and some meet, but if you don't we find a way.
You will have access to internett, so take your laptop with you. If you want, you can work remote or study in your spear time as well.

You can walk right into the nature, with or without a couple of dogs.
