Esso's International Championship

In April, I got this in the mail - Esso's diploma and confirmation of his International Beauty Championship - C.I.B.!!!!! He's my first real showdog, and he's gone all the way to Int Ch - or Int Nord Ch ;) The diploma is now framed and is hanging on the wall in our diningroom.

Norwegian Greyhound Club Show - May 23rd 2010

We'd entered Esso, Easy, Vita and Sasha for this show - Sasha has only been shown once before as a veteran (at the IG Speciality 2009), and since we've entered her for WDS, we thought she'd need a couple of times in the ring to warm up!

The results were:
BM-1, BOS - N S Ch N S LCCh Dervisch Very Valentino - congrats Ludmilla!
BM-2 - N Ch NV-07 Dogcastle's Let Me Entertain You
BM-3, CAC - Eugenios Amenhotep

BB-1, BOB - N Ch Eugenios Posh Spice - congrats Tone!
BB-2, CAC - Soltar's Créme de la Eugenios
BB-3 - Aviendha

Sasha was the one to make us proud today - not only did she go BOB Veteran, but she went all the way to BIS-3 Veteran! This looks promising :)

Time to start blogging again!

I got a new job just a few days after last time I blogged, and I've just been too busy after that. But now the time was right to start blogging again. There's so much to tell, I'll just have to do it bit by bit for the next couple of weeks.


First of all, my sister and I has moved together into a house with garden in Ytre Enebakk, 30 minutes drive from Oslo. There's still a lot to do before we get totally settled - it's only been a week since we finally got our sofa! But we like it here, and it's very nice for the dogs. Since I work in Oslo from 12-20 every day, the dogs get an hour in the woods in the morning before I leave for work.
