Celje double CACIB show, 19-20.04.2008, Slovenia

I am still waiting for the nice photographs from the show but they just don't want to arrive :-) So you have to be satisfied with all the blurry pictures my friend was taking :-)

On the photo she is with another friend of mine, professional handler and groomer. Danka looks very different than in my hands :-) Some like it more, some less, decide for yourself which Danka you prefer :-)

Anyway, I am proud to announce that Danka was CAC, CACIB,… Continue

Babesiosis... again...

UPDATE 17/04/2008: result of the blood test shows that the babesia is gone, liver, kidney working perfectly, number and quality of white and red blood cells back to normal!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!

She was a sweetie, kind to dogs and people - her owner, Agi raised her like this. She had a very happy and healthy long life but was not able to fight against her recent sickness any longer. Sleep well my black… Continue
