A new week….

The weeks goes by so fast it’s scary. Only good thing is that it won’t be long until I’m off to an exhibition.
Modesty and Donatella will attend a few shows now before the big one in July.
Here is a picture of Modesty I took yesterday:

Enjoy the week, and thank’s for stopping by

Happy Birthday Norway!

For me the national day is just a day of relaxation. I feel that this is more for kids, and last evening I was thinking back to when I was a child and how exciting it was to celebrate this day. I could hardly eat any breakfast as I was so excited, and after being at school taking tickets for the lottery and playing, eating hotdogs and icecream, it was time to go to the amusement park. Sweet childhood memories.
We will stay home, maybe watch the parade on tv and have something extra nice for dinner. I am sorry to say that we got SNOW today…..it’s not staying on the ground, but still very sad for all the kids that are going in the parade. I hope they still manage to have a good day.

Time off..

Finally, after a LOT of work, Espen could take some time off. We’ve had some great days together, driving in to Oslo city for lunch at Aker Brygge, went to Tivoli – www.tusenfryd.no (I only go on a few rides, and always have to go on the Speedmonster – I don’t know why, ’cause all I do is scream and close my eyes…. ), been to Sweden for some shopping and spent loads of time with the doggies. We have walked them early in the morning as it’s been really hot, and then they’ve spent the rest of the day lying outside and playing a little. Last year I had a little plastic pool that they could play in, but “someone” destroyed it so I have to get them a new one.

Below are a couple of pictures of Peppi that lives in Finland with Tero, Henna and Pinja. Thank’s for all the pictures you send me. It is much appreciated.
Hmmm there is no water in this sink

Like Tero says – “everyone has a Guardian Angel” This is such a sweet picture.

Thank’s for stopping by our blog. Enjoy the week and take care of your doggies in the warm weather.

Birthday boy!

Today it is 7 years since our wonderful boy was born. He is the joy of our lives. Always so happy and content. When you see him, you would never guess he is 7 years old. He is so full of life, runs around and plays with his ball or the girls. And they all adore him. And so do we. Happy birthday Damien! We will make your day special.

Summertime…

Well almost…….finally we got great weather and it’s so nice and warm outside. Doggies are taking life easy, but still find time to play. Here is a picture of Netta:

We walk them when the sun sets as it’s too hot to run around. Unfortunately, Modesty and Donatella get very inventive sometimes and goes under the fence and runs down to the water……. They come running back all muddy and wet. Not so nice for me, but they don’t seem to care about that.

I’ve entered a few competitions this summer, and I’m really looking forward to getting back in to my biggest hobby. It’s been a few months so I’m eager to get started again. Both Modesty and Donatella will enter the rings, so we get a little practise before the WW show. I’m so looking forward to it!

Enjoy the great weather. Thank’s for stopping by.

Happy Birthday!

Today my beautiful horse Sjokko is turning 19 years. He is living a silent life in Sweden with good friends taking care of him for me. I know he will get some extra treets today, and hopefully the weather is nice so he can go for a walk and get a taste of the fresh new grass.

Rainy days….

Well it seems like it is not quite summer just yet. Although the temperature is good with around +10-+15, it would be nice with a little sun. However, the rain makes the grass grow, and it’s getting greener every day.
On Wednesday the lady who massage the dogues came over. First she gave Damien a massage in the kitchen, but then the weather got so good we took the rest outside. Here is a couple of pictures of Damien getting stretched:

He is in really great shape, as you can see he has no problem stretching his backleg to the front and vice versa. Not bad for a dog that is almost 7 years old.

While she was here, I got her to hold Modesty so I could get a couple of shots of her:

She is now 15 months, and I think she looks good for her age. I am regretting I didn’t enter her this weekend at the Kennelclubs exhibition, but there will be other chances.

Enjoy your weekend, and thank’s for stopping by.

What a great weekend!

This has really been a great weekend for our breeding. Yesterday, Adora got her CAC and BOB at a National show here in Norway, and today, Masque Marron’s Metz – aka Peppi – got her first CAC and BOB at an International show in Finland! She was entered in Juniorclass and was therefor not awarded the CACIB, but we are sure there will be other opportunities to obtain the CACIB later on. BIG congratulations to our proud puppybuyers – we are so happy with all of you, and thank you for taking such good care of your doggies. Below a couple of pics from today.

A great day…

Today I am again a very proud breeder. Masque Marron’s Adora (Int.ch Belburgo’s Herkules x Int.ch Hazel vd Heerlijkelanden) took her second CAC and BOB. She is maturing very nicely, and we are very proud of her. Big congratulations to her owner Mona and thank you so much Irene for handling her. You are a great team.

So relaxing….

Alisea is enjoying the sunshine. She loves to be in the sun, if it’s clouded or raining she prefers to be inside on the sofa.

Have a nice day and thank’s for stopping by.
