BIMBO 1999 - 2011

Yesterday was a sad day.

Bimbo passed away.

She was our first Husky. She had 26 puppies during her 12 year long life. She was a big inspiration for us, and her first puppies was the beginning of our our first team.

For the last years Bimbo has lived with us as our house dog. The kids loved to crawl all over her. She didn`t seem to mind. Every evening Bimbo sneaked into the sofa, even though she was not allowed to. Irritating then, now we miss it..

Bimbo was my vacumcleaner after chopping meat for the dogs. Bimbo was always present, always loose and a good companion on endless of trips. She stopped her career as a working dogs maaany years ago, I think she considered work to be for lower ranked dogs, hence the nickname "BimboQueen". If not a very good working dog, Bimbo poduced VERY good puppies!

During twelve years, Bimbo has lived in many places. First in Svalbard where she was born, the daughter of "Dildo" and "Pippi". Then Bimbo moved to Finland to Flakholmen in the finnish archipilago, where she stayed while I went on a expedition to Canada.

She came back to Svalbard with us, before moving to Beitostølen in 2005.

Bimbo is the mother of both my parents dogs in Finland. Schackelton and Inuk.

In the afterlife we like to think that Bimbo is reunited with her parents, as well as at least two of her children wich she outlived (Gusto and Svala) and her mate for life Turbo.

Here in our dogyard 4 of her "puppies" still run fast. Asterix, Rambi, Smirre and Staffe.

Rest in peace BIMBO
