Snow, snow and snow again!

The last three days, it has snowed almost continuously. It has probably come down 30 centimeters of snow, and with the snow we had in the past is the depth of the snow almost 80 centimeters now.

Fortunately, it is cold (15 degrees below zero) so the snow is more as a powder and not so heavy and wet.Our dogs, especially the young ones love to squabble and chase each other in the snow.

Here are some photos.…

Celebrating a setter centennial

Cleaning up old pictures, it appeared I’m celebrating a centennial in Irish setters.

Fifty years ago me (around four years) and my brother Wim emptied our saving boxes and bought Rex. His mischief inspired me to write as a kid plus making pictures, books are still there.

health problems

Found out the other day that one of my fosters has discospondylosis. So sad. Vet says she has probably 6 months to live. I feel so bad for her.

Now she and her sister get the run of 3 whole acres and get to socialize with all sorts of buddies. When I got them they were scared all the time and very lethargic. Now,since being with me since July, they are happy all… Continue
