| On the outskirts of the town Sandnes,
between fields and big fir trees, the salukis Latif, Gaby, and Svale
spend most of their time. They share their lives with us two legged
humans Jan Willem and Elisabeth. |

| Sandnes is situated in the south west
of Norway. It lies close to the town Stavanger, which is known for the
big oil industry exploitation in the North Sea. Sandnes has 60.000
inhabitants. This means that it is a nice sized town in Norway, with
no more than close to 5 million people living in the whole country. |

| Jan Willem and I both work as
teachers in local schools. I am the saluki fanatic in the family. Jan
Willem has always had cats, which our household contains one of named
Dolly. Over the years Jan Willem has become a big saluki fan and takes
them for their daily walks on a regular basis. Now that the children
have grown up and moved out they are the closest we get to having kids
around the house. |

The salukis are wonderful companions to take along
when out walking in the Norwegian countryside and also very huggable. |
