Rudolf and his owner, Santa Claus (Julenissen), arrived from up north to become our new neighbours, this summer. Rudolf, lacking female company, is only interested in eating. And he smells a loaf of bread in my pocket long before I catch up with him. If I do not bring food, he keeps a respectful distance. If I bring food, he eats from my hand!
His fur is a bit spotted. Even the cool Norwegian summer is way to hot for a fully furred reindeer. But when the snow and the cold winter come, his fur will be perfect again.
