June 18, 2006
Since five weeks we are now two of us here, and Ula has settled in great. When she is met, it's not to believe that she was not growing up here. Besides lots of new experience which she has made here already, she gets along perfectly with all the others here - no matter if big or small. And since this week she is playing daily very much with me. We are a great team, the two of us, and we have lots of fun together. On the occasion of our playing and tolling there has been set up a new photo album in the gallery: Voodoo & Ula - Ula & Voodoo. Take a look at aus when we are romping around .....

June 3/4, 2006
In the evening of June 3, Mom and I (Voodoo) drove to my breeders to pick up our Ula and to spend another night out of house, as I had a show in Nitra on June 4.
Great happiness when Ula saw as. The way she greets Mom one can't believe that it is only three weeks that she is with us. Ula's sister Lilly was also there and some visitors who had visited Bella's puppies. They are neat and already very active and funny. We have taken lots of photos of them so that hopefully soon our breeders have an update of the puppy gallery in their homepage. After a delicious dinner and some chatting we went to our accomodation, where we are of course already well known.
On June 4, early in the morning we went for breakfast at our breeders and there was some body styling for Lilly and me. With sunshine, but low temperatures and lots of wind we drove to Nitra together with my breeders as well as Janka and her niece, where we met lots of friends again.
For me the show was not that good, but is was my own fault: I did not want to run, just hopped around and looked out for Mom, as my breeder Iveta showed me. Nobody could understand that I behaved that badly, as until now I had always shown how nicely I can run. But I wanted to get to Mom. The result was an "excellent 3", even though the judge would have liked to give me something better .......... but he had to be fair and that is ok.
My friend Lilly went out of the ring with Exc. 2, Res. CAC, while her sister/my partner Ula was not in the ring today, but watched us and from time to time had a nap or was out for a walk with us. Of course we also went shopping again, as Ula urgently needed a rain coat and a warm dress for very cold days. She got the same models as I have, just in other colors. For sure it will look cool when we both are having our walks in rain or on cold days in partner look .......... we really look forward to that.
In the early afternoon Mom, Ula, Iveta, Janka with her niece and I went back to the breeders' home, where the humans hat lunch and sat together for some time, while we all dogs were allowed to toll around outside in the yard. As always time went by much too fast and we three, namely Mom, Ula and I, had to go back home, but there we had of course a warm welcome by our Briard and Yorkie family.
So once again we have a nice weekend behind of us and are happy that it did not rain at the show as well as during our "leisure time", and we look forward to the next reunion with our family and our friends.
As it was not my day there are only a very few pictures in the gallery: in my show gallery and one picture in Ula's youth gallery. Next time it will be better, that's what I heard from Mom, as she is going to show me by herself, and I will go to great trouble to make things suitable. In addition we have plans that Ula and I will have lots of training with Mom until we are back in the show ring on two days in a row in August in Bratislava.
In the meantime there will for sure be some other news from us and from here. Just come and take a look here again. Till soon! Your Voodoo

We all here are totally excited and happy:
Yesterday both of us and Mom drove to Slovakia to our vet, where we met our breeders. Ula stayed with the breeders, as today she had her very first show in her life. She is missed here - by all of as, but the message we just received makes the absence of Ula a bit bearable: At her very first show she got Exc. 2 Res. CAC. We all are mighty proud of this small girl.
Tomorrow I (Voodoo) and Mom are going again to our breeders. We stay overnight, because on Sunday I am in the show ring again ...... and of course we are picking up Ula.

Yesterday we have accompanied our human and the Briards Frizzy and Oh-Lala to the Austrian National Briard Specialty. For some time we had to stay in the car, but every now and then our mom got us and had us run on a big great meadow. We had lots of fun, saw many other Briards and got to know new humans. And luckily the weather was not too bad: it only rained in the break and there was some heavy wind from time to time, but otherwise it was sunny and warm. In the afternoon we have been in the garden at home and helped our mom picking the first cherries. We were allowed to nibble as we both like any kind of fruit.
And today mom has again taken some photos from both of us, which can be seen in our galleries.
So we have a nice weekend behind of us. Hopefully the next one will also be that nice: Both of us are at shows in Slovakia. How it was there and how it went you will for sure be able to read in our homepage after the next weekend.

Today is a big day for me, Voodoo: I am celebrating my first birthday. I have already had some delicious treats and there is also a new "bed", which is very soft and very comfortable. The day is still young, so I am sure that there will happen some more concerning my birthday.
In this place I also want to send my warmest congratulation to my brother Van Damme. Happy, happy birthday!

Today we have got "new arrival to the family": My human and I have gone to my breeders to take a look at the puppies of Bella Stella, as it was planned to have a girl as a companion for me. The puppies are sweet and there would have been a dark hairless girl for us in the litter, but fate would have it in another way:
Yesterday my breeders have got back a girl born in their kennel, Ula at the age of 15 months. My human fell in love with Ula immediately and it happened that some hours later we went home with this girl. She is a very sweet one and has felt comfortable rather soon here. And Zabou, my very best friend, was also enthusiastic about Ula immediately.
Cool, now we are two of our breed here, and we together we will experience and undertake much. . Ula is now integrated into this homepage. It will last some more days till most of it is finisched, but soon you will be able to admire Ula in her own photo galleries.

By the way, there are puppies available out of the litter of Bella Stella. Interests please contact the breeders directly through the homepage Family Song's or us via the contact form.

May 7 to 12 2006
We have been on tour - Zabou, Gizmo, my human and I. Nearly 2800 kilometers we have been driving in the past days. We were off to Belgium to Pascale and her family, where we spent wonderful days and where I have again seen much and got to now new things. Thanks so much for the great hospitality, dear Pascale! There are of course new photos in my gallery.

With - finally - bright sunshine my human and I went to Slovakia again to visit our vet, who has a delightfull litter of Italian Greyhounds. My breeder Iveta and her husband Jozef also came over. We were so much delighted as we had not seen each other for a month.
The afternoon was spent in the garden where I tolled around and about with Atlanta, the young Italian Greyhound girl of my vet. It was just wonderful to enjoy such great weather. There were also taken photos in the garden which can be found in the gallery.
Unfortunately such nice hours end much to fast and we all had to say good-bye and get back home. Well, in latest three weeks we are going to visit my family again, which I already look foreward with pleasure.

Yesterday I was joining my Briard friend Oh-Lala and my human to an International All Breed Show in Austria where Oh-Lala was shown in veteran class for the first time. There were plenty of dogs and crowds of people .......... much to see for me. Some friends of my human were also there and were rather astonished when they got sight of me .......... many of them had not known about me.
A friend of my human, who has just lost a son of my human's Briard Sándor, was coming over to visit us and stayed with us until we went back home again. I was cuddled and carried around .......... well, I must say, I liked it.
Of course my human and I also went shopping and I got some nice things: a collier collar, a beautiful leather show lead, another show collar and two show leads including the collar. I look forward to wear these things at the next shows.
And finally we also met my dad Albi, who had also been shown and went BOB. Congratulation, dear Daddy and dear Hanka! I am proud of my dad, he is such a smart and beautiful boy. Hopefully I step into his paw prints concerning shows. Hanka, his owner, cuddled me as she always does when she meets me.
It was a very nice day and I had lots of things to tell to the others when we were back home.
