2012-01-31 Woke up early this morning because
Cassandra came with breakfast to my bed. =) WOW! I can get
use to this! No problem ;)) She had made everything by her
self, sweetheart! Rest of the day I spent in front of the
computer. Made collage to the mating add., fixed the page of
plans as well as the litter page. Later in the evening we
had a nice dinner and I got gifts from my girls =)) Göte
came home, after a meeting with the owner of the house we
are renting and the broker, with the messages that we have
to move out latest the 30th of April..... Oh great.... 3
month is a short time.....
2012-01-29
Came to the archery arena early to pack up the bow and
everything else and to get an extra breakfast before warm-up
and start. Cassandra had a nice day shooting and when the
competition where over it turned out she done a new personal
record with 331 points and won here class! =) Great done
girl!
2012-01-28 Grrrrrr.... the whole day has gone by to
make the antivirus program to accept the new license key and
to salve the problem that the computer does not want to
restart properly.... technical stuff is fun when it works.
Later in the evening Cassandra, Stephanie and I did the spit
with fruit, meatballs and sausages for tomorrows lunch.
Packed everything needed and checked the travel way and time
for travel once more, just incase, and we went to bed. Big
day tomorrow!
2012-01-27 Jey came home for the weekend and we
celebrated Götes birthday with good food, tasty wine and
presents. The rest of the evening we spent with cake, coffee
and snacks in front of the TV.
2012-01-24 Finally is the magazine of the race-club
in printing so now I can concentrate on updates of the
kennel page. I feel I am behind in that matter ever though
there is not so much that has happen lately, but I do have
to fix some of the pages a bit. One resent happening is that
Odin got a new home. He is now living on a horse farm in
Eskilstuna and we wish him and his new family good luck. =))
2012-01-21
Today the whole day went to the budget meeting of our
race-club. Note home until dinnertime in the evening. Then I
got a phone call, still making me feel happy when thinking
of it, with the lovely news I may use the male I so long
wish fore! Jiipie!!! It means that when Brizna goes into
heat in April, she will go on love dates.

Back to everyday life you might say. Schools has started
up again after the holidays and I am back from my trip down
to Växjö where I celebrated Angelicas 20th birthday and
helped both her and Boyo to settle in. He is going to live
with her and after x-ray he will be castrated because of one
testicle - yes, why not when keeping a male out of a
litter...... Sigh ..... The birthday celebration was very
nice. We started at the "Systembolaget" (the Swedish
liquor-store) for Angelica to premiere. (Now a explanation
is in order, I believe. In Sweden you have to be 20 years
old to buy alcohol. You may order alcohol at a
restaurant or pub from 18 but you can not buy it in
Systembolaget.) Anyhow, at System-bolaget the cashier made
Angelica blush because she LOUD and CLEAR (after checked her
ID) said - Well that is today! CONGRATULATION! and have a
nice birthday! It was not that many people in the store,
thank God, but they ALL turned and smiled at Angelica. It
was as the time stopped for a moment - like in a movie. LOL.
After that experience we went to the dog-store to pick up
food for Boyo and then back home to Angelicas place to start
dinner and to make the cake. We had a stew of chicken boiled
in cream and cognac (yes, the reason of the visit to
Systembolaget). We had a very nice evening and Boy seems to
like his new home ;)

2012
then.......
The plans for 2012 low put. Why? you might
ask, well the reason is simple - to find a new home and MOVE
is number one priority! I have total lost the count over how
many km and houses we visit last year and we always ended up
as the 2:nd choice of the house owner. If it was anything to
live in at all that is. :(
We do have some exciting things to look
forward to, moving or not, - some with feeling of horror (the
x-ray of the O-litter & the small mentally-test etc) -
other with joy. Rex mating with
Dimma in beginning of January/February. We might let Brizna
have her last litter and Alpha will do her big mentally-test
(MT) and the CAC test for military-dog. The Viking union has
the 10th anniversary this year and that means the Viking
festival will be for three days this time (6, 7 and 8 of
July)! I am also going to be an aunt! My brother and his
girlfriend are expecting a boy close to Cassandra's birthday
(8/2) - well... actually ON the same day, no Cassandra is
not happy over it.....

BEST
WISHES
FOR
THE
NEW
YEAR!
A look back at
the year
2011
Ok so it is now time to do the "look back"
at the year 2011 and help.... it has been a year full with
happenings... where do I begin? Well, I just chose a small
part out of everything. The year started with happy kennel
events. There are a lot of Vajert dogs with owners that have
done great during the year! First we got the official x-ray
back of Alpha - free on both hips and elbows - and that
result that turned out to follow the A-litter =)
Everyone that is x-rayed so far is free! Beside, during the
year, some of the A-"pups" went to the small mentally-test
and approved. Great done! Raily did his re-test as an
guard-dog (has to do that every year) and approved with
grace!
O-litter
was born the 2ond of Mars. 4 males and 2 females. It is the
second time I have did a re-breeding - to get more females -
and, like last time, it came most males!! Typical or what?
In June Mary and Xena showed their pawls,
well yes.... the whole side...
Norwegian Show Champion
and Danish
Show Champion at the same time! Later, during the
year, they moved up in working-class tracking and got the
first Swedish CAC! Vajert Dimma became
KBHV-2011 and visit us to have a good look at Rex.
They like what they saw and in beginning of 2012 mating will
take place. Anouk moved home to his owner and is still
missed a lot. I got the honor of debuting with Ozzy in the
showing and that on SBU. He became BIS-3 total! Akira and
Alpha got several CK + BOB during the year and so did Inja
whom also got several of BIG and BIS placement - the veteran
"girl" whom really stands for the "still going strong"
expression. Both Ihana and Ilex past over the rainbow and
that leaves only Inja out of the I-litter still alive. In
that context the hardest decision of the year was made. We
let Raika move to Annika, Kennel Acktiva, in Finland (Ihanas
previous owner). Now, looking back, I am so happy we did.
They are doing together =) Brizna got her fist CAC in Norway
and also got the BOB. Sad we never could enter the big
mentally-test with her as planed. Short straw in lottery (6
times), heat, litter and then heat again demolish that plan
for sure and that even though we got dispense to start a
test even though she turned 4 years of age. :(
I have been down at Angelicas place in
Olofström a lot more than earlier years. First to bring down
the Viking-costumes and everything else that goes along with
that to her Viking exhibit at the library - mega success!
The
other BIG event was her graduation! A very special happening
I never forget! In the evening they had the ball and she was
so beautiful in her own designed dress. The following days
we packed, cleaned the apartment out and moved her
belongings to us. She also got a lot of medals in archery
during the year and the best, we are still enjoying it, was
the Nordic youth mastership in Denmark where she ended up on
4th place and thereby the best Swedish female shooter in her
class! WOW! In August she moved to Växjö for university
study. Cassie started with archery during the summer and
also attended her first training camp and got her first
silver medal at "the day after Christmas day arrow"! Beside
archery she went to swim school for two weeks and got 6
swimming marks =). Stephanie had chicken pots and the
longest flue I ever experienced. She also lost her first
tooth. Jey turned 18 years old and we celebrated at the
Viking festival at Stallarholmen. We also went to the autumn
festival and it was very nice to ware the new winter outfit.
