Togheter with Polish, British and French soldiers, my grandfather fought in this battle During world war II. It was the first time the Germans troups suffered defeat in this war.
My grandfather actually never spoke of the war, not even to his wife or his son (my father). Not one word, I can only guess what he and all the other soldiers went trough fighting this battle.

(N)Snurribart's cats
Sonja and Alf-Bjarne loves siamese cats, and have been breeding them for some years. Here are two of their siamese. This is Yang, a neuter male.
Oliver and Charlene are two sibirians imported from Russia. Actually they were both given as gifts from Russian friends of Sonja and Alf-Bjarne. Charlene is going to be shown a little this summer. Oliver competes in class 3 and needs some more winterfur before he's shown again.
Oliver is registered as red macrel tabby, altough I think he is solid red. Charlene is black spotted.
I think they make a wonderful couple and will be an interesting mating!
Here's Oliver, He is 3,5 years old . He is medium in size, with a strong solid body. He also has a very nice coat quality.
Really nice profile
This is their breeding queen and show star, Madam Mim.

A couple of days in Dog heaven!
My friends Sonja and Alf-Bjarne needed help with giving their sibirian a bath before the show next weekend, so I put Maks in my car and drove north to have a wonderful couple of days in their company again. Maks loves the borzoi girls living with Sonja and co, and I think the girl loves him too. It is always a big success when they are together. Another little girl came by on Sunday to say hi. When Maks met her, he suddently discovered he's a boy, and flirted as a real pro. Well, I guess he is old enough now to learn about the flower and the bee...
Here is Volga sitting in the background, and a very tired Maks laying flat out in the grass

Volga is tired is going too sleep on the coach
Maks and Dvina are waiting to be let our again
Look, here is another little borzoi too. Little Sarcha is 7-8 months old
4 borzoi, a wonderful group
Everybody need to sniff each other
Maks is so much in love with Sarcha
Volga the police is keeping every dog in place
Volga makes sure Maks knows she is the highest ranked and "mates" him...
Poor Sarcha is getting totally exhausted by Maks' flirting

Up in the woods
Today I decided I wanted to go upwards when walking Maks. I really wanted to get a nice overview of the wonderful scenery, the midnight sun and all, but the farther I went, the deeper into the wood I got and at the end I decided I would turn back and go back another day. In daytime.
But here are some photos anyway. Tought I would share.
Maks just loves to run and play. Actually when we get to this gate I need to keep him on a leash because of the sheep, but I let him jump it first. Just for the photo.
I was not the only one getting exhausted
Maks
Here we are almost home. This is almost in our garden.
And here is what met us coming home. They look good toghether, don't they?
I just love small flowers that you really have to study to notice their real beauty. Here are some of my favourites

For me this is quite steep, but I guess I burnt off some calories ;0)

My Taiga in "bikini"
I call him my drag queen at the moment, he kinda looks like one wearing a tiny bikini.. But he still looks good, and keeps developing in the right direction. I remember some similar shots from last summer, and having them in mind it's really easy to see he has developed nicely.
Here I have taken him for a walk in my garden to take some photos of him. He LOVED it!!

No news
There are not so many news and updates now when Isak has left and my furry frinds are outside most of the day. We are looking forward to the two next shows now, the first is in one and a half week, and the next in two and a half weeks. Then a little pause until late august when we will go to sweden.
Actually the show in Tromsø will be quite exciting in many ways. A friend of mine from av Jamas cattery is coming from Oslo on wednesday before the show and we will go to Tromsø together. Unni is going to show a devon rex youngster (photo below) called Roxie. In 6 shows Roxie has three BIS, and three NOM where she "lost" the BIS by one vote each time. Now we are hoping for some good results in Tromsø ;0)
In Tromsø we will meet some fins coming all the way from Finland to show their two SIB-males. One neuter and one fertile. They will come to visit on the way home. Just to talk some SIB, and to see my cats too. I don't know them, but it's always nice to meet new SIB-enthusiasts ;0)
And the third reason I'm looking so much forward to this show is one of my best friends is coming with me and we are bringing our girls too. She has a birman cat (from my breeding), but this cat has way too much white, so it can't be shown at all. She only goes to Tromsø so we can have a nice weekend trip togheter and have fun :0)
My daughter also loves to be at cat-shows, but I don't take her as often as she wants. This time she will show her own cat and Isak. She can hardly wait!!
The cats are mostly outside, if it's raining to heavily I will let them in. They are also spending the nights indoors. They love to be "outdoor cats", and beg to be let out in the mornings. Hopefully their outdoor life will work wonders on their coat quality. Some photos:
Summer is hiding her beauty at the moment, but I know it's there - somewhere ;0)
What is this you ask? Actually it's raw meat I'm feeding my dog, but the cats get a bite now and then also. It's very protein-rich and good for gaining weight. Bagheera loves it, but she is not the one needing to gain weight...
Bagheera is looking quite nice at the moment. She is medium in size, but very compact. I was so pleased with her coat quality, but then I gave her a bath... Now it is too soft again.
She carries her ears too high still, but she is a young girl and has time to develope a lot.
I love her soft profile and rounded forehead.
