Life has been one long roller coaster ride over the last year. Things, good and bad, have all conspired to make life as difficult as possible. Yet here I am. I came out the other side. In one piece. And still sane. That's the amazing part of it.
My daughter, who thought she had achieved her dream of being happily married, with children, has had her dream smashed to pieces. Her husband of less then 2 years has walked out on her and the children. Kristi is filing for divorce. She tough, like her Mom. Yes okay, I know I can sound weak and pretty useless at times, but I AM still here. My life is still in one piece. I'm tougher then even I knew I was!
The dogs are all doing fine. Kita is now retired from breeding, and I have decided to retire Mishka and Inka too. My breeding programme is now lying on Shunya. She is turning into a wonderful, very pretty dog. She has a terrific sense of humour, and she is SO different from how she looked when we first got her. Everyone loves her as soon as they see her.She is far more self confident, and in fact has turned into quite a little madam when she wants to! She has grown well too. Topping Kita by at least 2 inches and Inka by 1 inch, and she is only half grown yet. Ben, of course still has many years of siring pups. The girls retire at age 8 or when they have had 6 litters. Whichever is first. Or, like Mishka and Inka, when they show no interest in breeding, or there are medical reasons not to breed.
One of the other things that has made life hard to deal with lately, is the problems that my friend, Jackie, has had to deal with. The loss of most of her dogs, and the lack of housing for her and her husband has left her feeling terribly down and depressed. But we are hoping to remedy that as soon as we can. Many of us are looking for suitable places to rent for her. I think I MIGHT have found one. Going to see it in an hour. Just hope its suitable.
Tony is doing well in Cup again. In the chase. Good chance of being champion again. Suits me just fine.
