Super bad, lazy blogger

Facebook has basically taken over the "need" to blog regularly and is the reason I haven't blogged in a long time.

But I still like blogs, I like to read them and like to follow up on friends who are blogging so I better keep this blog alive if I think others should.

Life goes on here in Belgium. For about 3-4 weeks ago it looked like summer was coming, it was warm and I could even sunbath and got some color, then Tone came from Norway for a weekend visit and the day before she came the good weather decided to go and it's been raining and been cold and what not ever since. Until today when the weather finally seems to be like it should be this late in may. I just want sun, sun and more sun!!

There have been some shows since my last blog, Casper was shown in Dortmund where he didn't really win anything the first day but surprisingly enough when I got his written critique he had gotten a reserve VDH wich actually turned out to be a full VDH because it was a big show and he got the DPK (German poodle club) CAC as well, and the same happened the day after so we were happy.

Elisa came over from Finland that weekend to bring Bling back, she's been with her since last winter and had her first litter there.

Casper has also won CAC in Luxembourg, not sure I have blogged about that, and last weekend he finally got his first CAC in Belgium! Man I am glad for that, 1 year and 1 day need to pass between the first and last CAC (and they need to get a total of 4) to become a Belgian champion so it was about time to get that first one, then we can take a little brake and focus on the other ones a bit later.

He actually got a new title as well at that show in Wieze, Belgium. He was best male, and ended up being best of opposite and got the title "hopkoning 2010". Ira got that title last year at that same show.

While Casper was in the ring with Emilie, I was showing Stella and she did the same, best bitch, best of opposite, CAC and "Hopkoningin 2010".

Of course Casper and Stella were in the ring at the exact same time. When the IGs started it looked like I'd make it, show Stella and then run to the poodles and show Casper, but I asked Emilie to take Casper to the ring for me and be ready there with him, and if I wasn't there when it was his turn to take him in for me.

Well of course the IG judging took longer, the judge had a student who was learning to judge the breed so they were talking about the qualities and faults and what you put up and so on so when Stella was finally done and I went running to the poodle ring (which was in the other hall) I just saw Emilie in the ring stacking Casper for some photographers.

So that was the past few weeks. I have been going to the gym and I was getting good, but I've taken a turn to the worse again. I don't know why I can't be consistent and why it's so hard to go back if I haven't been there for over a week. I need to get myself together and GO and go every day like I did!

Nox has been mated with Uzzah in Germany, now we just hope she's got little Nox babies in her belly:)

I have to get going now, need to bath Casper & Toshi, and groom Ninja. I'm going to a show on saturday and need to do a preparation bath and grooming today, plus I need to clean a whole lot of things and i WILL go to the gym today!
