Christmas time and beginning of a new year are behind us. It was a family reunion with quite a lot of dog training too. The winter has been very kind to us so far. We have temperatures on the plus side most of the time which allows training outside.
I have just arrived home after a long journey to Germany. The main cause was an arranged meeting between Ruda and her fiancé Monty. The meeting was successful but knowing my bad luck when it comes to breeding I will not make any official statement until we check Rudas belly with ultrasound.
This was a part of the journey that gives a positive and hopeful feeling.
But I have also done something that makes me very miserable - I took Basqa with me and gave her over to Christine on a parking place somewhere in South Germany. So now my baby is in Belgium and, according to what Christine says and the pics she sends me she is doing great. Which I have guessed she would all the time. She did not behave well with my dogs as she has developed some bad habits that had become a part of her life from early puppy age. Difficult to change, I really tried! But now she is in new home with new dogs and bad habits do not belong there.
Christine is an experienced Laekenois owner and breeder and she has time for Basqa. I suppose this is the best I could do.
Except that I strongly feel I have betrayed her somehow, gave up on her and my conscience is not clean. I’m sorry I had to make such a painful decision and I miss my little girl with my whole heart! Right now even her bad habits!
But I suppose Ruda and Prima are very grateful and our life is really quiet and relaxed again. And Ruda has the right to go through her pregnancy in the best conditions. So my common sense says the decision was right. Why doesn’t my heart share the same feeling?
