Today Liza has adopted 3 litle border collie puppies who have lost their mother. We were very excited about how Liza would react to the new ones, but she handeled it great! So now she has 10 children to take care of. The border collie puppies, or the border springers as I call them, are 3 days old, and much smaller than the other ones. I don't think we will keep them together for so long, since they are at very different stages of developement.
Pictures of all the puppies can be seen here.

Finally back home after a very long trip! Loke and I have traveled almost 7000 kilometers by car and train, so no wonder we was a bit (!) tired when we came home! Going to England and Crufts was a really big experience for us, and I am so glad we did it! We spend some time at Jacky and Dave, kennel Peasblossom, and we was really spoiled with Jacky's cooking and had an absolut great time there! Thank you so much for your hospitality! And thank you Helene and David for memorable trip!
