2016 - 2017

July 21, 2017

We arrived in Germany. Everything is unfamiliar.

 

July 17, 2017

Goodbye Dallas. We are on our way to Chicago with a stop in St. Louis. We are: Ana, Wendy, Wolfie, Felix and me. Anton stays with Pam White in Dallas, because he still has a hot date with Terri True's Sasha.

The house is empty, our belongings are on their way to Germany.

 

June 2, 2017

I have my contract for a position with the German branch of the American company that I work for. Now the container and the flights to Germany can be booked.

 

February 2017

The decision has been made. We're going back to Germany. With a little luck, I can find a job at my American employer's German office. Now it's time to pack up. 25 years and a few months have to be looked through, packed, sold, or given away. The house needs to be prepared for sale.

 

October 2016

Schnauzerfest is in South Carolina. Judges from Germany: Conformation: Astrid Schön, IPO: Sören Roggenbau. Unfortunately, Pam White cannot come with me. Astrid and I spend a lot of time together and also become real-life friends. Sören also works a little with the young dogs between judging. Bernardino vom Haus Lavon (5 months) is there and is very interested. Anton finishes conformation as best dog with an excellent 1. Wolfie wins the bred by class with an excellent 1. Bernardino is the most promising puppy. Ana is still 'fluffy' and again gets a very good. Since she is also in heat again, Wolfie and I fail our BH. His mind is with his sister in the car and not with me on the field.

Something is wrong with Ana. We make our way to the emergency clinic. Ana is diagnosed with eclampsia. We have a few hard days ahead of us. After several days, the all-clear. Ana is allowed to feed her babies full-time again and is no longer in danger. Her calcium levels are back to normal.

Ana gives birth to 8 puppies over the course of roughly 6 hours: 5 males, 3 females. Everyone is fine.

 

March 2016

Ana and I going to Atlanta. Ana has a date with Jessica & Justin Barnes' Weylin Kato vom Mutter Haus. My manager allows me to work away from the office during my time in Atlanta. We are spending a nice week in Atlanta. Now we need to keep our fingers crossed.
