Seven years ago, Voodoo (Champ. Family Song's VOODOO), my first Chinese Crested, passed away. He made it easy for me, one of the few who spared me the difficult trip to the vet: he crossed the Rainbow Bridge in his sleep. Thank you for the 14 years I was able to share your life with me, you sweet clown.

Sterling (Champ. Daretobebares STERLING SILVER) passed away four years ago at the age of over 16. For more than two years, thanks to a special diet and excellent veterinary care, I was able to provide her with a wonderful, comfortable life despite her kidney failure. She showed me when it was time to let her go. Thank you for the wonderful years I was able to share with you, dear Sterling. Thank you for integrating so perfectly into the pack, even though you only joined me when you were over four years old. You are and will always remain unforgettable and have a permanent place in my heart.
My oldest dog, Memy (CIB Multi-Champ. INCREDIBLE ME von Shinbashi), enjoys sleeping most of the day. Well deserved at the age of fifteen and a half.

The Zadar dog show marathon is over.
From May 1st to 4th, four CACIB shows took place at the Zaton Holiday Resort – and two dogs participated with great enthusiasm! The results are more than impressive:
Dyoma (Ch HR/SK/BIH/RS/SRB/ROM/HU GrCh BIH/SRB/ROM/SK Magic of Success DIAMOND): 4 x CAC, 4 x CACIB, ! 4 x BOSHe has now fulfilled all the requirements for the Croatian Beauty Champion title. I am incredibly proud of him! With the result on day 3 Dyoma fulfilled the requirements for the Croatian Beauty Champion title.
Show guest Rapunzel (Ch. SRB RAPUNZEL Winning Smile): 3 x CAC, 2 x CACIB, 1 x Very Good. Unfortunately, no CACIBs were awarded to the females on the last day. The little darling had bad luck on the second day: Just as she entered the ring, a brush fell from a grooming table and hit her on the back. Unsettled by this, she lacked the necessary confidence in the ring, which is why she only received a "Very Good" rating that day.
A very heartfelt thank you goes to the judges Peter Friedrich Berchtold (AT), Frode Jevne (NO), Perttu Ståhlberg (FI), and Nenad Devic (RS) for the excellent evaluations and kind words.
The weather was glorious, sunny, and with pleasant temperatures for the dogs. The organization and ring times were also top-notch. An absolute highlight: My over 15-year-old Memy (CIB Ch HU/BG/MD/PH/AZ ShowCh HU VetCh HU INCREDIBLE ME von Shinbashi) clearly enjoyed the beautiful weather and the walks. There was also a touching reunion with her former handler, Laszlo, who hadn't seen the "old lady" in ages.
It was a great joy to see dear friends like Claudia and Simone again after such a long time. We spent five wonderful days together, helping each other, laughing a lot, and eating fantastic food at the resort. Hopefully, we'll all see each other there again next year!

It's been a year since my first powderpuff girl passed away: Jaris (HAPPY JARIS Dandy Mate) received her angel wings at the age of 17 years, 3 months, and 98 days. She was the mother of my Caipirinha's M litter. Throughout her life, she was healthy, always friendly, alert, and playful, very social, and never dominant towards other dogs - simply a sweet little angel. I miss her as much as I did on the first day.
On the same day in 2018, my soulmate Keanu (CIB Multi-Champ. Whisperingln' THE DEVILS ADVOCATE) crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He is one of those whose loss I still haven't gotten over and never will. I love all my dogs dearly, but there are a few very special ones who have left deep marks on my life and my heart. I'm thinking of you, beloved Keanu, and in my thoughts I'm giving you a big hug.

This morning, Dyoma (Multi-Champ. Magic of Success DIAMOND), dog show guest Rapunzel (Champ. RAPUNZEL Winning Smile) and Memy (CIB Multi-Champ. INCREDIBLE ME von Shinbashi) and I drove to Croatia. After about seven and a half hours, we arrived safely. As always when we're at the Zadar dog shows, we're staying in a mobile home at the Zaton Holiday Resort. Let's see what the next seven days bring – besides a relaxing time in a beautiful place.
