Hi Dee,
Sarah is in season now, but I am not going to mated her this time, have to wait for her next season as our new house is being built and we can't move there until autumn, there will be the right place for the pups to be born :-) I am counting on a winter litter, as Sarah comes into season in 6 months periods, usually. Hope everything will go well with the whelping!!!
Have you decided what male to use on Saffy? It's not an easy job, a lot of things have to be taken into consideration, but this is one of the most interesting part of breeding - I think.
This could easily be Jas' year, she looks fab in the pictures :-)
I'll think of you on Sunday!! Good luck!
Love, Marta

Hello Dee!
If you check out my web-site (you can click on it via my page on the settersite) and look under my name you will see that I am a writer, illustrator and...and...
9 books published to date.
So its a fair mix of writing and drawing...and plenty of both. Sometimes more hysterical than others...
Yes I know what you mean about eggs bought from the shops...can not stand them and so the chickens will be the last to go...I just can not buy eggs.
GREAT weather now for the third or fouth week in a row, now we are worried about the hey-harvest, will there be enough? Never right is it?
Have a super day!

Hi Dee

Do you have English as well? I'd have a house full of both if my husband would agree!! He has a Great Dane that I love dearly he is a typical Scooby Doo. My Irish, Barley, lies on him in his basket they get on very well, even though he can be a little clumsy with his big feet.

Nice to meet you.

Deborah

Just finished the last of a series of articles (its now 11.18 here) and I feel dead on my feet...
So a quick reply, yes you know Dee, I could NEVER be a farmer! Just the hay makes me nervous, and yet if it comes to the crunch, I could always buy some. But what if my income depended on it? No wonder farmers are constantly moaning! I would be too!

Hi Thank you for you pleasant comments.We were very pleased to have won under an English Specialist also. We had a great day winning many awards & BIS. Looking forward to seeing English dogs when we come to the UK (100th ISC of Englad show ) & the World Show in July.
Regards,

Dee, Thanks for the welcome. I just did some more updates on my page, added a photo album, joined some groups, and even created a new group. This is a nice set up! Let me know if you need help with your page.

But I know Dee, if I was a farmer I would most certainly moan as well! I have seen them on rainy cold summers and summers without any rain at all or rain at exactly the wrong time! Yes articles finished, now on to the next job...10 pretty difficult (and fairly boring) illustrations to do by the end of the week. Plus more in the pipeline. Relaxation is taking the dogs for a walk!
And a great way to relax as well.

Ah Dee - it keeps your feet on the ground I wasnt showing but i did see a fair bit of the Irish judging and most of the Red & White. There were a few groans at ringside!

Hi Dee!

I saw the photo from Ireland with your Jas, lovely one! Yes we had a lovely week, two best in show! Helen judged all the males and gave our "Chippen" the reserv and later on, together with the other judge, Soifra the BISroset! And we had a good day in Germany as well. Magi judged very good!!! It´s always fun to show the dogs to specialists, in Sweden e often have allrounders... All for now!
