Celebrities ;o)

I have reason to be happy and proud again: first of all for Karin and Fancy, because Karin's photo of Fancy is on the cover of America's next year Sheltie calendar!!!

And Lucky and Rocco are in too!!! Pictures are taken by Karin on our last summer Sheltiephotoday. I'm sure you recognize Lucky (well, just in case - he's the tricolour with sweetest face in the world) and Rocco is the one standing tall in the lake.
Real celebrities, aren't they ?

Lucky and Fancy the “cover kids”

I’m so proud - Lucky and Fancy are on the cover of Netherland Sheltie club magazine! I’m proud of my beautiful little Lucky and his beautiful little friend Fancy and my talented friend Karin who made this photo. Miracles just come out from Karin’s camera one after another, it's great that we have had possibilities to be part of them.

Preparations for winter :o)

There's no better time to prepare for the winter then the hot summer :o) Well, skipping the weather aspect - I found contacts of a lady who makes yarn of the dog's hair. And even better - she knits from this yarn too. I have carefully collected all the hair Rocco and Lucky have donated and we are very well prepared for the winter now:

All our winter collection on the photos is ~80 % made of Rocco's and Lucky's undercoat, it's warm, it's soft and I love the colour. I'm very sure, that not only arms and head stay warm on winter, but heart too!!!
BIIIIIG thanks to Airi and if you wan't to see her angora's (white colour in our winter collection comes from Airi’s white bunny) and handicraft, here's the link to her blog: http://airiangoora.blogspot.com/

And to stay honest to Lucky and you I have to come back to his hair donation. Because Lucky doesn't agree here. By his opinion his every single hair in my dog-hair-foundation has been violently robbed from him :o). He hates my grooming bag and escapes even if he suspects I'll plan to groom him :o).
