2008 - June to Apr. 2008

June 22, 2008
Yesterday we have all been driving to Slovakia again together with Mum: First we went to our vet where Ula got her yearly shot and little Jaris her microchip, and we also got dog food stocks. Then we headed off to Ivana, the breeder of Naomi, Fidji and Jaris, where we spent a great time in the garden together with all our friends while the humans were chatting about this and that. Later in the afternoon we drove to Ula's and my breeders, and had fun with our families and friends. Unfortunately Mum had forgotten her camera, so there are no photos this time. Too bad ......... But probably we are going to drive to our families and friends again in three weeks, and then we will take care that Mum thinks about the camera.

Today we enjoy a real great summer day in the own garden, but mainly in the shade of the verandah, as it is highsummerly warm. Every day should be like this. :-)

As soon as there are any news, we will report again.

We have celebrated birthday today: I, Voodoo, turned to be three years old. Lots of our friends congratulated me, my big family of course also, there were lots of treats for me and many, many extra hugs and cuddles. A great day .......... it could be like that every day. ;-)

The puppy LiveCam has been deactivated. The area where the puppies move now is too big for the webcam to catch everything properly.

There are some new pictures in the Photo Gallery in the album Puppies -> Ula and her second litter.

The shows in Montenegro and Slovakia are over, all are back home again, and so I can report about all the news.

Mum has been with Fidji and our Briard friend Courage in Montenegro at the Adriatic Cup, where they met some friends and spent a nice time. Only just having let them travel alone, they return back home with gorgeous results: Fidji has won the Junior class in Bar at the International show as well as in Petrovac at the National show and is now Junior Champion of Montenegro. SUPER, our little turbo mouse!
Courage has also done well. The ones who are interested in her results, can read about everything in our Briard-Homepage.
Anyway, we were very pleased - not only about the results, but also about the fact, that Mum has come home safe and sound with the two after two strenuous and long trips.

Not even really being back home, there was only a short rest, and soon the car was repacked and Naomi, Fidji, Mum and I drove to Slovakia to the breeder of Naomi and Fidji, where we spent the night. We all were prepared for the show on the next day. On Sunday early in the morning we drove together with Ivana and two dogs of her offspring (Carlos and Fee-Bii, a sister of Fidji) to the National show in Banska Bystrica. And also there we all had excellent results:
Fidji got Exc. 3 in youth class, Naomi in the intermediate class Exc. 2 and the Res. CAC, Carrlos got Exc. 1 and CAC in the open class, Fee-Bii got Exc. 3 in youth class and I received Exc. 1 and CAC in Champion class. For sure we can rightly say that the past week was really successful for us respectively our family members.

In the evening we went back home, a bit tired but pleased.

Of course there have been taken some photos in Montenegro and also in Slovakia as well as here at home. Via the Photo Gallery you can find the slide shows which have been updated (Chinese Crested @ Caipirinha's -> Shows Fidji, Fidji's Youth, Naomi's Youth and Jaris's Childhood).

Yesterday we all drove to Slovakia with Mum. First we went to our vet, where Jaris got her last vaccination for immunisation, Naomi the yearly and for all of us stocks of food were bought. Then we went to our breeders to visit them again.

The afternoon until evening we spent with Ivana and her family, where Naomi, Fidji and Jaris also met their family members. With early summer temperatures and the sun shining brightly we enjoyed all the time in the garden. We tolled and played, the humans chatted and dear Lubo started the barbecue, and our humans had a most delicious dinner. This was once again a real great day with our dear friends. Thank you Ivana and Lubo, it was really gorgeous with you again!!!

Only just in the car we fell asleep and continued exactly this as soon as we were home. Seems we have to get used again that now the time begins that we spend many hours playing in the garden.

Next weekend we meet all again, and we really look forward to it. Little Fidji will be driving far away with Mum and Courage on Wednesday - to Montenegro for a two days show. On Saturday the three will come back home, Courage will stay here and Naomi and I are going to travel with Mum to Slovakia where we are going to be in the show ring again on Sunday. Latest after the coming weekend there will be news from us here again.

Finally: Our dear Ula (Family Song's ULA) has given birth to her second litter for our (her and my) kennel Family Song's. Four hairless puppies (2/2) with great weight (135 to 185 grams) have seen the light of day today in the morning. Ula is a solicitous and great mother.

For the purpose that any interest can see this sweet little family, a Puppy Live!Cam has been installed, which will be online several times a day. And of course there are already the first photos, which can be seen in the Photo Gallery newly set up slide show Ula and her second litter.

Congratulation to the breeders Iveta and Ondrej, and for Ula and her puppies we wish the very best!

Our dear Fidji counts to the youth now, as she is nine months old today. A reason to congratulate the little turbo mouse and a reason for Mum to immediately add some photos of today into the Photo Gallery: Chinese Crested @ Caipirinha's -> Fidji's Youth.
There are also new photos of Ula und myself from today: in the slide shows Chinese Crested @ Caipirinha's -> Ula is grown up and Voodoo is grown up. Have fun looking at them.

April 11, 2008
Some new photos have been put to the galleries Chinese Crested @ Caipirinha's -> The whole team, Jaris's Childhood, Fidji's Youth, Naomi's Youth and Voodoo is grown up.
