july 7th: Some new pics of our dogs, enjoying the beautiful summer weather! Allthough, enjoying...;-) On the picture below Bhanu is shaking after a "water-adventure". He fell in the water, head first, and couldn't come out of it by himself. I was glad René was there to pull him out of the water!

2 Weeks ago, Duru (Jua's half-brother) stayed with us for a couple of days. Jua really liked it and wanted to play with him the whole day. Bhanu liked it too and was Duru's big example. So funny to see that Duru copied him in everything! In no time they enjoyed the sun with the 3 of them close to eachother. We enjoyed to see the 3 of them together!

And at least a picture of Bhanu's biggest hooby: playing mole in the sand ;-)))

June 5th we participated in lure coursing with Bhanu & Jua and Ijaba & Chikumbi. This event was organised by the RRCN in Leek, Holland. We had a wonderful day! The first round Jua and Chikumbi didn't really know what to do. In de second round they ran with their mommy Ijaba. And she showed them perfectly how it worked! Great to see! Of course I wasn't able to take pictures by my own: Susanne, Nathascha and Esther: big thanks for all pics! Click here for more pics.

In the first round Bhanu ran together with Ijaba. He didn't have any attention for the lure at all and kept his eye on his girlfriend Ijaba ;-). When he was halfway, it was enough for him. To far away from me, so he came back full speed! In the second round, he ran by himself. He didn't run the whole course, but he had fun anyway.

Bhanu op weg terug naar mij ;-)

april 7th: Today we had a real nice spring-day! Nice weather to walk with the dogs together with Agnes. We had in mind to walk with Jua and Joep, but Jua just started her season. Bhanu was happy to take her place instead ;-). Joep really used his charmes to make Bhanu play and Bhanu liked this sweet youngster. The boys enjoyed themselves and so did the owners ;-)))
