Today is Mamacita's fourth birthday. All the best to the sweet little mouse, who this time is not being spoiled at home, but by Milja in Finland and is celebrating her birthday together with her brother Mario (CIB Multi-Champ. Jamming's MALBORO).

This weekend Mamacita (CIB Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA) had her first official appearance at shows in Finland.

The evaluation system is different from ours: of all the dogs shown from the youth to champion classes, there is only one CAC for males and one for females. The CAC is therefore awarded more or less like the CACIB here. This does not mean that the Exc. 1 from a class also receives a CAC. Further awards are CQ = Champion Quality and BB = Best Female or BM = Best Male with the number of placements. First there is the basic assessment of all the dogs shown  and then it's about the placements and titles.

Yesterday there was a CAC show in Kouvola under judge David Ramos Martinez/E. Mamacita received V1 CQ BB1 (Best Female) BOS CAC CH. With the CAC from the champion class with a championship from another country, Mamacita was also awarded the Beauty Champion Finland. I would never have thought that she would achieve this at her first official show. Needless to say that I was and still am on cloud nine.

Today there was the CAC show in Heinola under judge Annamaria Tarjan/HU, where Mamacita received V1 CQ BB2 (second best female).

Milja did a great job with Mamacita and I am very grateful to her for her efforts. I would also like to thank her assistants Johanna, Tiina and Miia for their support and the photos I received after the show. The ring clerk kindly took photos of BOB and BOS with the judge's cell phone. The photos are now in Mamacita's photo gallery/shows. A link to the Video of the show in Kouvola is via Videos Mamacita at the end of the site.

I don't know whether Mamacita will be shown in Finland again or whether she will now start traveling to the Baltic countries with the breeders Samu and Lella. I'll wait and see.

Today I was able to collect Maverick's ashes. He has found his final resting place in his urn between his parents. I wear a pendant with some of his ashes on a necklace and another pendant now hangs in the car next to those of all those who have gone before. So he will also be with me on all my trips and look after the dogs traveling with me and me.

It's a terrible day. I took Maverick (CIB Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED) to the veterinary clinic because he wasn't himself. He ate and drank well, but otherwise just slept. I wanted a chest x-ray done, even though his breathing was normal. The doctors decided that blood would first be taken for a full blood count and that he should have an infusion. As always, he endured everything patiently. However, he didn't lie down, but stayed sitting the whole time or took a few steps. The blood test came before the infusion was completely through. It showed very high infection levels ....... a bad sign. I insisted on an ultrasound check. Although I had hoped that this was not the case, my premonition came true: metastases in the liver. So the chest x-ray was no longer necessary.

With the operation in mid-May, we were given just 2 months, 2 weeks and 4 days. Everything had looked so good, Maverick had recovered quickly and was active and full of life. The blood tests in between had shown no abnormalities.

So it was time to let go, sooner than I had hoped and desired. All I could do was wish him a safe journey and tell him that he would now meet his parents again before he got his wings in my arms. And once again one of my favorites took a piece of my heart with him. How many pieces do I have left?

I immediately took Maverick to the nearby animal crematorium after one of the vets had phoned to check whether I could come.

Maverick, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have given me over the years since your birth in the form of unconditional love, joy, fun, comfort, happiness and success. The memories of the 13 years, 2 months and 1 day we spent together will hopefully give me the strength to deal with the pain of your passing. You were one of my soul dogs, you will never be forgotten... until we meet again.

Today Mamacita (CIB Multi-Champ. Jamming's MAMACITA) took part at her first show in Finland. It was the annual club show without titles in Lammi, Kanta-Häme. She was presented by Milja, the owner of her brother Mario (CIB Multi-Champ. Jamming's MALBORO). Mamacita received excellent in a strong competition of 9 bitches in the champion class. She then took part in the progeny group of her mother Bella (CIB Multi-Champ. Crufts Winner 2020 Jamming's ELEKTRA) together with her brother Mario and her sister Mafia. The group received first place.

Photos of the show can be seen in Mamacita's photo gallery.

Thank you Milja that my sweet little mouse can live with you, have fun with your males Mario and Billy (Multi-Champ. Jamming's QUENTIN TARANTINO) as well as your female Giia. Thanks that she is lovingly cared for and looked after by you. Thank you also for the frequent updates about her and for playing her my weekly voice messages and then telling me how happy she was when hearing my voice. She is sorely missed here.

Dyoma's (Multi-Champ. Magic of Success DIAMOND) third birthday is being celebrated today. All the best, little sweet man. It's so nice to have you here.

It's also a remembrance day: It's been six years since Steel (Champ. Silver Bluff STEEL KING LEGACY, AOM) started his final journey. He is missed so much. The burning candle shows him that he is being thought of and that he is not forgotten.
