I'm interested in going to see the "International Dobermann Club Show" this year because, by chance, it falls on the last weekend of my holidays at the end of Aug, beginning of Sept. However, I'm a little concerned that it's in Slovakia! That's not a country I'm particularly confident about travelling to. Also, the show is in a small town called " ( Read more... )

You should see this wonderfully cute and scruffy (albeit not *real*) terrier who is sat on my desk right now. He's grey and messy and... Wuffles ( Read more... )

I'm going to see my Phoenix-boy in Derby on Sunday! Yay! I've missed him so much. :) I'm hoping that he's started to chill out a bit because I'd like to take him to a couple of small dog shows for a bit of fun to see how he does - but just small ones, mind! He's not ready to go back to the big ones yet, I don't think. They cost too much to enter, ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a quiet uneventful weekend! LJ just seemed to die and I have been stressing over my Elizabeth fanfic because I just haven't been able to get it right! :) I think I'm on the right track now, but something akin to a plot is beginning to emerge and I can't be doing with that! XD LOL ( Read more... )

I'm really panicky and nervous. Tahi-Reme Churchill, the Dobermann I wanted a puppy from, might have died young. I'm so afraid, I feel sick. I've never even met this dog, I grant you, but I loved the look of him, and I had my heart set on a pup from him. If he has died, it must have been DCM (Dilated Carido Myopathy) that took him. It's a big ( Read more... )

Not sure when I'll get to see OOTP, but I'm looking forward to it ( Read more... )

Come on, people, tell me which of these Dobes you prefer - I don't care if you can't tell one end of a Dobe from the other, I just want to know what you think because I like them both in different ways, and I'm enquiring after both of their stud activties over the next year or so. Grapow, unfortunately, lives in Poland and doesn't seem to be ( Read more... )

I'll start working on my Barbossabeth fic again soon, I promise. I'm still a bit ill - my sinuses keep playing me up, and I keep getting headaches and feeling drowsy. And then there's the Walsingham thing which has just *so* distracted me...

I've just watched some of Elizabeth I with Helen Mirren, and I quite like Walsingham in that, who's played ( Read more... )

You know... I've had a splitting headache today... you know the one's which really pound and make you want to claw your eyes out and knock yourself senseless with a hammer? And make you feel sick too? My God, I thought it would never go away...

*That* bleeding headache was why I've only just finished my third-and-final " Walsingham-in-the-Elizabeth ( Read more... )
