Spring in Belgium

So far we have had a nice springtime, sometimes you even think it's summer :-)

Zino and Esed have been walking and playing and enjoying the nice weather!

Berlin

We went to Berlin, for a family visit and sightseeing tour and we did two shows while we were there :-) We had a lovely time, Esed went everywhere with us, and while we were sightseeing Berlin, the people and tourists were looking and taking pictures of Esed..... We also went to the Berlin Tierpark... Esed was happy to walk around the parc and see the animals, except the snowleopards, he did find them a bit scary!

Enjoy the pictures.

Lazy Time

Esed likes to be lazy in the house, when he is not playing with his toys, pestering Zino or throwing his bones and chewies around ;-) So here are some pictures of our mister Lazy, Esed, in his favourite position on the sofa.....

Merry Xmas

Eric, Tatiana, Zino and our sweet Esed and me wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy 2011.

Snowtime

Esed & Zino have been playing and walking in the snow. Even our Zino, 10,5 years old, still acts like a puppy in the snow ;-)

What does Esed do on a cold evening?

He lies on my lap and sleeps while I try to watch the TV.... very warm & cosy, just a bit difficult when you want to drink or change the post ;-D

Kortrijk

Esed had a fun-loving weekend. This because of the long awaited visitors from Berlin. Chrissi, Daggi & Andrea came to stay with us and the girls were with them. Esed enjoyed having the girls around so that he could play with them. He fell very much in love with Tagola ;-)
We also participated at the two dog show in Kortrijk, and once again we were confronted with the difference in judges and their idea of how an azawakh should look like and behave in the ring.
On Saturday the judge gave Esed a very good, because he had a rough head.... The girls were more appreciated and all three received an Excellent, and Djangalah the KBWC-Winner 2010 titel.
After the show, we went to the dogpark near our home, and Zino & Esed had a great time running and playing with the girls.

Sunday we were once again at the show, looking at the stuff for the dogs and buying some nice things. Eventually it was time again to be judged. This time the judge appreciated what she saw. She awarded our Esed with 1 Exc, CAC & CACIB and in the end even with the BOB. This we didn't expect at all, as Tagola, who received the same notation and became best female, is older and more mature than our crazy azawakh.
We were thrilled with these results.

In the evening we had a nice time with our guests and a lovely diner. The dogs were playing and fooling around. Sadly on Monday we had to say goodbye to our visitors. Esed misses the girls very much. We hope that Chrissi, Daggi & Andrea will repeat their visit soon.

Maybe we should start thinking of getting a younger (azawakh) friend for our Esed. Our Zino is enjoying his privileges of his old age and doesn't always play or agrees with Esed & his crazy escapades.

Pictures will be put on the site during this week.
