It’s a big day here in Dackel Princess Land. Today two packages arrive from Germany. The first contained all the Pedigrees for Greta’s litter of puppies. Now I can mail these to the new owners of the pups.
Long ago the AKC Pedigrees came, and I was a bit worried that the DTK pedigrees wouldn’t arrive in time for the German Dog Show, however, they did, so now I know I can show the dogs in September at the yearly Zuchtschau.
The other package almost means more to me. It is the German book of dogs, litters, breeders and kennels that the DTK publishes each year. My name is in there, along with the Dackel Princess name. When I think of how proud my Papa would be, it makes me get very emotional. Papa loved America very much, but he held onto his German heritage all of his life. I think he would be happy.
The next item of news isn’t quite as wonderful. My eye exam didn’t go quite as I had hoped. I will be seeing my Retinal Surgeon up here in New Hampshire. I have a little problem with the Vitreous Gel in my eye and this means I need to see him, pronto. You see once you have had a Retinal Detachment, the odds of it happening in your other eye actually does go up. I was able to make an appointment for Monday at 4 PM.
Hubby came in from working outside feeling under the weather. I’ve put him to bed and will try some chicken noodle soup on him in a while.
Fritz, Greta, Arnie and Anneliese are all fine. At the rate we are going, we had better get those Wills changed so that we leave it all in trust for the doggies! LOL!
Happy Friday to all and have a great weekend!
hahaha you can put me in charge of them! Hmmm…what will I do with Wolfie then?
Hang in there – I know things seem all awry right now but those puppies will keep you going! And the next litter…and the next….and….:)
I will keep you in my thoughts on Monday – I know you are worried!!
That’s wonderful all the stuff from Germany came – what a wonderful way to celebrate your heritage!
What a combination of good news and some reason to worry…Take care of yourself Maribeth. I know you love taking care of Hubby and the dogs but you need to take care of you too. They’ll be fine you know and you just rest at least until you see the Dr…Oh god i sound like a shrew, don’t I? I’m just concerned, that’s all
Great news for the show! I’m very happy for you!
I do hope that the doc will find it better than it looks like right now.
I’ll try to send positive vibes for both of you….
Even though I suspect that your hubby has the best nurse he can ever have in you 🙂
