My little angels

Jente gave birth to 11 beautiful puppies last Saturday, on the 29th of September. These last days were most difficult days in my life, but my little angels fighted for their life. Now Jente is feeling better and I have hope. I have cried for hours, not slept for days, and I was even afraid to hope. I love Jente so much, she is my hero and each of these puppies are little angels. How can I give them away one day? Anyway, please keep your fingers crossed, all puppies are now back in their birth… Continue

By popular request (as they say) some illustrations...(with added BC for Susan and Carmel)

The Border Collie is from an article I wrote about breeds I still want to have...amongst them a BC. The text this border is thinking is; Wow..great..the metal dumb-bell! Ohhh the send-away...my favorite! Work...work...work!

All illustrations are scanned from the Kennel-club-mag or out of books...so awful quality of print. Sorry.
