A long desired parcel came by post today after a trip through the USA, from there to Germany and now to me: new Chinese Crested ceramic figurines being a compensation for the two which a so called American friend (Theresa Baldwin) stole from me after I had refused to send a dog, which I had imported from her, to an unreliable person in Sweden for breeding. In the meantime this person even sold these stolen figurines claiming (online) that they were hers.
Now I can finally put this disgusting matter aside and be pleased about two beautiful figurines. Lots of thanks to Yvonne Badoni for making them again for me and to Michaela Kidd for letting them be sent to her and take them with her at the occasion of her visit at her German family to finally send them to me. That is real friends! So here are the two figurines:

It is 15 years ago that a magnificent Briard boy left forever ...... much too young at the age of only 9 years and a couple of days. No one can take his place in my heart, and the wonderful memories which link us, will always be present. Samson (UGO de la Morne Plaine) is missed like on the first day. His enjoyment of life, his hilarious character, his unconditional love, his indescribable passion to play ...... all things which are unforgotten and will forever remain unforgotten.
A candle has been lit for the sire of the here born C litter and E litter de la Maison du Garde-Barrière, for the sire of all in all 45 Briards in Finland, Sweden, Russia, USA, Canada, Australia and Austria, grandfather of 18 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren in the USA.

Thinking about a great boy who's birthday is today: Marko, great "teacher" for lots of my Briards, helped raising puppies, wonderful companion for all the dogs here, sunshine of my life for a couple of years, but way too few. Always unforgotten, carried in my heart forever. A candle has been lit for him.

LOULOU des Cèdres de la Montagne Noire, CGC).

Today is a big day for Ula (Multi-Champ. Family Song's ULA): she celebrates her 15th birthday. Despite her high age she is still lively, just a bit deaf, her eyesight minimizes and a slight dementia gives a signal.
Heartfelt congratulation to this great girl, who founded the Chinese Crested breeding in this home. After her gallbladder surgery nearly a year ago the main wishes for her are continuing healthiness and to be joined by her for a long time.
