Shyann, our Norwegian Elkhund enjoys mornings sitting at our bedroom window looking for any uninvited guests such as deer, turkeys or squirrels in the backyard. The bench she sits on is at the right height for her to just lay her head on the sill and watch.
my pets and i tend to get shrunken down. (and in case you're wondering, my dog is a norwegian elkhound)
A favourite food of Arctics foxes in the wild are rodents, especially lemmings. Some dog breeds (dachshunds, terriers) also catch rodents, and wolves, huskies and elkhounds all dive down through the snow to capture rodents. Captive animals such as this Arctic fox, as well as ferrets, snakes, hawks and owls, etc., can be kept healthy by feeding them frozen mice that are widely available through pet shops.

Nine week old Norwegian Elkhound mix we just adopted from "Heaven to Earth Rescue" in New Philadelphia Ohio. They proactively rescue puppies mainly from Amish farms where they do not neuter their working dogs. He joins our two year old Norwegian we adopted from this same group. If you are thinking of getting a dog please consider a rescued dog of any age and save a life.
