    This passed weekend we were having fun at the dogshows in Lithuania:

    Saturday, 03-rd of December - Vilnius Winter 2005 International Dogshow:
    After 3 changes from the side of the organisers of the show, the judge for English setters was Olga Scerita (Moldavia). Happy got "very good" with the description list that cannot be commented - nothing was at the place where it should be... None of the male English setters received any titles or prices...

    Sunday, 04-th of December - Vilnius National Dogshow:
    The judge for all setters: Renata Petkeviciene (Lithuania). This day was better than the previous. Happy received "excellent" with Best Male 1/3, CAC, BOS.

    We can apply for the title of LT CH now!

    P.S. We had a very nice and dog-friendly hotel - I can recommend the hotel Karolina to everybody who intends to visit Vilnius city.

    Yesterday we visited the Baltic Winner 2005 show in Trakai (Lithuania). We had nice travel companions: Jet Bomber of Slow Fox and Aivi with us.
    The entry of English setters:14 and the judge Mr. Kari Järvinen (Finland).
    It has passed only some weeks after our last dogshow, but this time it seems all the outlook of our dogs has changed: the judge obviously liked something else than our dogs. So, the grade was only "Very Good" for Happy and Bomber too.
    Besides Happy was left to the last place: 4-th in the open class male dogs.
    Next time we will certainly try harder for better results...!

    So we were visiting the very first dogshow of this year. But with really bad luck: all our dogs got "excellent" grades but without any prices.
    The judge Lidia Sokolova from Russia seemed to be very critical about what concerned our dogs.
    Maybe the next time we will have the better luck!

    It is very rare here in Estonia that we are having a storm in January like we are sometimes used to have late in autumn. In some places the sea-level has risen for 2 meters already - some roads are covered with water. But the weather itself is warmer and more rainy as we are ordinarily used to have in January.
    The storm at the sea is a magnificent thing (at least as long as you can look it safely on the shore) - it always reminds me of the song "Home By the Sea" by Phil Collins.
    Here are some feelings from the most northern seacoast of Estonia taken today:
