Thank you for your comments on my photos. This site is so great for talking to people from all over the world. My daughter was in the USA for 4 years at college in Tennessee. She loved it and is trying to arrange at the moment to go back end of August to finish her master in environmental biology. very warm in the UK at the moment.....going to a show tomorrow in the Midlands , about 2 hours drive for me as I am in the South near the coast. Hear from you soon,regards,

The power washer is only a little electric one, I am going to paint it today and then after it is aired out and the paint smell gone I will put a canopy over the top to make a nice cosy place for her, no doubt she will want to have them outside behind the bamboo this is where she is favouring at the moment...Hope you had a good 'holiday' and the fireworks didn't upset all the animals...All the best Dee and the girls

Does the electric work well(Prowerful enough?) I am thinking of getting one.Sounds like your girl is going to have a nice whelping box.I walks all the dogs early and stayed inside. Fireworks are illegal in my area so I don't any unless I go to shore of the San Fransisco Bay then I can see professional display shot in middle of the Bay.I jjust enjoyed fireworks on TV this year since I had so many dogs to care for. Time to feed the troops. Jo Ann

Don't we live in a small world!!!! I am 5 miles from Romsey.....perhaps you stayed in a b & b in my village when you came over....but in the 80's I was still in Sussex then.

How are you?
My daughter is back in the US for another semester at college. She is enjoying it but it is hard work now as she is studying for a Masters' degree in environmental biology!

For me in ES the most interesting thing is to meet people who live with our reds for 30-50 years. I envy them that. But I'm very happy that one day during holiday on lake I met a person with beautiful and very charming Ruda. That was almost 14 years ago only. There is a lot of very nice and fine dogs but I couldn't imagine my life without reds.

Eight red guests - bravo!!! what a fun!!!

I remember my 9 boys and girls litter - total mess and hard days at home - but unforgetable.

I'm very sorry you lost your irish for bloat - terrible death, terrible moment for dog lover.

Kruszyna is quite fine now, she'll recover. Till spring, she'll run free...

All the best in 2011!!!

Ania with Bajka and Kruszyna

even than those were different breed - you must have had fun with them.

Oh,I see, stopping people with setters on the way - that's normal all over the world. I have the same and I was many times stopped by unknown people delighted with setters!!!

2011 will be a great year, I'm sure!!!

All the best;-)
