Thor Grønnerød (53) runs Kamperhaug Gård together with his family.
In 2014, they opened a dog kennel in addition to having stables with horses and their own livestock.
– It will be a quiet day at work when it is as hot as today. Fortunately, it is cool where the dogs live.
Grønnerød says they have made several preparations for the animals on such a hot day as this.
– We are very concerned that the animals get enough fluids and stay in the shade. When we don’t go for walks, the dogs stay inside a lot.
–«Rag grandmothers»
Down at the Amcar car club, Ann Kristin Granås (62) and Kjersti Arhum (66) are getting ready for a hectic evening. They will stand in a stall in the center and sell sausages, soft drinks and ice cream to hungry drivers.
– We have practiced this here before. In 2018, we stood and sold in our stall when the thermometer showed over 30 degrees, says Arhum.
