Better the Devil you know..............

All the devastation that takes place throughout home and garden in any one week by the demon monster puppy simply melts away into just a memory when she struts her stuff in the Showring and makes her Mummy & Daddy  very proud.....we returned from a long and tiring day in Paris on Sunday from only her fourth ever show with another beautiful Trophy and she was forgiven her sins instantly....until Monday morning when she was tearing through the garden once again-this time with "Kaiser" hot on her heels, John's eldest son Ryan's new puppy (yes we're ALL mad in this family).

The show was held outside at a venue in Grandpuits,where the English weather seemed to follow us on the day,with regular  heavy showers-much to the amusement of our fellow competitors..........who seemed to be attempting some kind of record as to how many people and dobermanns could fit under a large fishing umbrella at any one time..... 

The day was a long one but our little girl did us proud..................

and she also got to see her first Mum with Dita's stunning Multi-Champion mummy once again who was in the "Honneur Classe" for all the winning she has done throughout her career........................................ 

For our Dita, the recognisation was INSTANT- even though she hadn't seen her since we had taken her away as a small puppy! Obviously some dogs never ever forget & she promptly started screaming her head off, throwing herself all over & leaping about like a lunatic trying to get over to where she was............it brought a lump to my throat, -it was really quite Poignant...............

ANYWAY,back to work this week has meant delving through the dusty "Back Room" where the forgotten buys of late summer are once again emerging as we havn't had time to trek around the Brocantes because of Dogshows!..........

I know what a certain someone would do with THESE if she got a sniff of them.............! 

This is one of the Pair of  Stunning Matching Jardineres we have on Auction........................ 

that's all for now folks! A la Prochaine Fois!
