Ragnor Lodbrok, Viking king of history channel historic fiction and historic real-life. Strikingly handsome, loyal to family, fierce fighter when necessary, not unwilling to kill for his friends and family. Now in the fonder moments of (family retirement and covid isolation) interaction he is frequently referred to as “Raggy”. Active and fun. We find providing a new tool or game every 10-14 days satisfies his innate curiosity. It need not be expensive IE paper towel roll, sleeping bag to tunnel and dig(home made from scraps), Abacus (left from grown kids he LOVES it), and any size box. A new box is never-ending delight. At 8 months the biting and scratching is fairly under control, but it took much diligence on our part. Redirecting and scolding every single time. We are totally in love with Ragnar, our covid entertainment.
