The above quote just about sums up our recent experiences over the past few months-we rise above it because we are strong & committed to what we do-therefore we become so very much stronger as a result.
Whilst it may sound like gobbeldy-gook to you all-suffice to say fake folk will never bring us down-life has a curious way or sorting the good from the bad...and what goes around comes around,some of which certainly did last weekend and brought a well-deserved smile to our faces.......!!
And now onto some news about REAL Friends........
We recently enjoyed a fabulous few days with some fabulous friends form the UK who, like us,have been involved in the Dobermann Breed forever & admired our own handsome boy so much they asked for our help in obtaining a male puppy from the same breeder here in France.It took months of stressful negotiation to arrange but eventually we all went together to choose the puppy who will carry these fantastic bloodlines into the UK & Hopefully improve the breed there-needless to say lots of fun and games were enjoyed whilst we spent days together in the glorious warm sunshine laughing,playing with puppies,then the serious business narrowing down the choice & choosing "the special one" & afterwards toasting the occasion with a lovely meal out on their last night here......and so here he is......residing with us until mid-August when his Pet Passport & innoculations are completed for his journey to his new family and life in the UK-so meet IDOL-what a STUNNER!-Pictured here with his older half-brother our own handsome man Esto....who has become his foster carer.....and takes his duties very seriously...!!
We continue to tour the country and different areas of France searching for Chic & Shabby Treasures and recently spent a few days with our dear friend Lynn who lives in Normandy.....soon to return to Scotland following the excruciatingly sad & untimely loss of her husband and our dear friend John last year.We all stood a Brocante in a local Village and helped her ease some of the pressure of knowing what to do with all the things they'd accumilated together over the years they had lived in France-and of course made great use of searching for treasure at the same time!My idea of Heaven!
