Glen and I made it into the local press...

[Susan Stone]

This lovely picture of Glen (and me...) appeared in the local newspaper last saturday. During a training session in the woods for 'search and rescue' I found an old coin or amulett with an engraving of St. George on one side and Jesus in a sailing ship on the other. The inscription said 'In Tempestate Securitas' (roughly: safety in the storm) Not knowing what to do with it I sent it to the local press. They did some research and said it was a 'St. Georg's Amulett' possibly made in Kemnitz, then Hungary and now Slovakia, dating from sometime between 17th and 19th century... and should keep me safe and sound! OK, 19th century does not sound that interesting so I've now sent it to the historical museum to see if they can tell me more... The paper wanted a picture of me in the woods together with my dog. I only took Glen - didn't want to scare the photographer;-))

Great to actually see YOU Susan! I have sort of seen you in my mind as looking like Glen...always in profile and all that.
I suppose if we do meet up at Crufts, I shall have to wear a wodden dumb-bell in my mouth to be recognised...:-)

[Marta Magi]

Nice to have a photo of you Susan. I think we all should send a photo or at least a 'headstudy' :-) of ourselves.
:-))))))))))))
Don't you think? :-)

What an interesting story. You have to keep us updated about that amulett.

...more of us are going to Crufts (so me too).... but not sure we will be able to recognize each other. Maybe all the members of E.S. who are going to Crufts shall have to wear a wodden dumb-bell in our mouths,or a pink hat or something :-)))))
Any other idea??

[Susan Stone]

I'm enjoying your comments:-)) ROFL

I'll HAVE to go to Crufts then, if youwill all be there in your typical profile attitudes... Ursula, make sure you send me a picture of self with dumb-bell...

I'll admit I hesitated about putting up this photo... but I received pressure from some 'young person not to be named' to go ahead...;-)

[Agnieszka Rola]

I'm sure it is good to find amulett like that :) I wonder who was the owner at first, it could be interesting... Please let us know more about it.
I'm going to Crufts too :) I think pink hat is great!

[Sharyn Latchford]

Wow what an exciting find....do let us know what the historical museum has to say about it....

What a delightful photo of you both

I feel the pressure of appearing at Crufts...but I think I will still have some puppies around. And that unfortunatly stops me from going anywhere in the beginning of march.
Pity.
Would have been GREAT.
Especially pretending not to know any of those weirdos with dumbells around their necks and pink hats....:-)
I never counted on such a large litter...

[Laura Kolbach]

see? i told you!!!! ;-)

No showdog husband about...just me.
I love living on my own but it does have a few draw/backs. Like no puppy/minder for instance.
