Ice and Fire






Last time it was Skadi - this time it's Isa's turn!
Doesn't she look truly beautiful in this wintry surrounding? Unfortunately it seems that she is the one of our dogs that likes this weather least... However we can enjoy these pictures of Ice and Fire!

The beauty of age


Why only the youngsters all the time? Truly Tova and her siblings are much more often displayed here than our other two females Skadi and Isa, who mostly appeared as marginal figures in recent posts.
So this entry belongs to Skadi alone, who gets a very nice winterfur this year and from my point of view looks better than ever before with her soon 7 years... The following pictures were taken during this weekend so they are brandnew:

Tjalve again...

Another great picture of Tjalve (this time with his father) I don't want to withhold... Looks like fun!

Tjalve in the snow

Yes, I know - first there's no single entry in a few months and then I update this site every day - that's the way it is ;)
I got some brandnew pics of Tjalve today and of course I don't want to withhold them!

New website of "Hondentrimstudio Kiowa"

Marleen, owner of Tjalve and Kiowa, has updated the website for her grooming studio and I think she has done a great job - check it out!
"Hondentrimstudio Kiowa"

Brothers

Once again it took me some time to update this site - however, despite the very long periods of silence, there are still a lot of visits. Thanks to the faithful - these pics are for you!
They are not that new anymore either - I already got them in October (shame on me to keep you waiting such a long time). But the recent months have been troubled waters, lots to do and some unpleasant stuff, all in all I wasn't able to care for the worldwide web as much as I probably should.
Here are some shots from a meeting of the 3 brothers of the Alfa litter, the older brown male on some of the photos is Wateshni, Washita's comrade in arms. Enjoy!

Wahya getting famous, Tjalve and his father succeed at the Belgian Club Match and Tova's first eye examination

Yes, I know, I promised to write more often but there were a lot of other things to do (actually I was very busy with my arts and craft stuff, creating some of my best works...) and there was nothing new on the wolfdog front that by all means had to be written here. But now I'll return with some really cool stuff (and a lot at once today;)):

1. Wahya is on the cover of the danish rock band Apollo's new album cover:

Here you can find even more pictures - just scrool through the songs! There are 3 pictures of Wahya


2. Tjalve and his Dad Kiowa were quite successful at the recent Belgium Club Match -
Tjalve won in the "young males class" with "excellent", his father won the "open class males" with the same result. Kiowa even won the clubmatch, is best of breed, best male and is now official Belgium Champ C.A.C. !!!

a father and his sons


3. Last but not least I am happy to say that the yearly eye-examination (by the way Tova's first one) was without any abnormal results for Skadi as well as for her daughter.

This stick is not big enough for you and me...

...even if it is quite big.This second entry for today is for those of you who are here for the pictures instead for a lot of words ;) especially for those who have missed Isa recently.
Just click on the pictures to make them bigger!


And Now for Something Completely Different

Indeed this entry has not to much to do with our dogs or our kennel. It's not even about dogs in general. But hey - it's a blog and it is there to enable me to share my thoughts with you, dear reader. So I 'll show you something completely different today.
It's about nature and it's beauty, it's circles and it's necesseties.
Please look at this picture:

It's kind of beautiful, isn't it. Okay, it's not the human-made kind of elegancy and if you are a convinced big city dweller with no connection to mother earth at all, you might not be able to see the grace that is inherent in this nest. But then it is not that likely that you will read this blog anyhow.
Even if it is not of a ravishing beauty, it has this typical primordial charm. I don't know what kind of bird inhabited this wonderfully crafted home and if it's offspring hatched out and survived or if the neighbour's cat or even a wild lynx completed the circle of life in advance. What I know is that I found this little thing a few days ago after a windy night and that I took it and delighted in it.
Why did I post this here on a blog that mostly deals with my pack of Saarlooswolfdogs? If you look at it carefully you might guess the reason. I wrote these lines and uploaded this photo because of the fact that this nest is almost entirely build out of our dogs' wintercoats. They lost a lot of fur a while ago (and when I say a lot, I mean A LOT!!!), first of all Tova - it always seems to me their first winterfur is the most beautiful one!
We are used to brush them out in the garden - and with it we obviously do a favour to the rich birdlife of our area. This gives one a kind of feeling of affiliation. We can give something back to this world we call our home!
Another thing I want to point out, is that we all should learn (again) to enjoy the small things. Most of us got stuck in stress, problems and a daily routine, a sickness that kills our souls day by day.
But there's just this small advice this little nest can give you - the cure is out there and you will see it if your eyes are open!
