A year without dog shows - almost

2009 has been the first year, in I don't know how many years, without any dog shows for us or our dogs. We haven't entered any of our dogs to any show since September 2008.

There are many reasons to that:
- Focus on family, job, house, garden
- Focus on just being with our animals
- Finding other things more fun
- The sadness after having said the final farewell to two of our dogs and two of our cats in just a few months
- The weird (and not so nice) atmoshere in the dog world

We might come back to the show ring some time in the future, you never know....



OK, there was ONE show in 2009. Per-Arne jumped in as handler for Zokii in Avesta when owner HÃ¥kan had broken his leg. (And if you have to choose only one show in a year you should of course choose the one with pouring rain and cold winds...)
