I just visite your website and ... congrats on the last results!, and my god, Samba looks impressive !!!!. Do you know if it will be possible to see any video of the Australian's judgements, I'd like to see Samba "in live" :-). Here not news for now, Epi has been entried in 6 dog shows (3 consecutive weekends from the end of February and first of March) in Intermediate Class, so he can start to win his first points :-)). Also in the South of Spain we have "snow time" and Epi ask me to send you these pictures taken yesterday at home. Hugs. Ana & Epi

AND THE SNOW IN THE NETHERLANDS is WONDERFUL TOO!!!!!! Bliss enjoys playtime in the park! owned by Bianca and Jacco Heideveld, The Netherlands.

Bliss is really wonderful. She is absolutely beautiful and growing like weed, that's right. I guess she thinks she wants to be a great Dane or so???? haha. She absolutely hates taking a bath (I heard Aussies love water??). So you can imagine what our bathroom sometimes looks like when she is covered in mud or something smelly again when I bathe her. She really is a teenager now in behaviour and looks. Sometimes very naughty and the glue in her ears prevents her from hearing properly ;-)) She is time consuming, but fun! There are days that I just can't find the time catching up on our emails, let alone answer them!! People here are already asking why I am so silent. It's Miss Bliss who is keeping us busy. I can imagine you still miss her, she is really lovely and not only to look at. I love her beautiful brownish eyes as well.

a nice note from Betty, Stan & Stephen Lalik from Chicago!
