Having been diagnosed with Coeliacs disease late this year my life has changed tremendously, for the better i might add with haste, so i can't eat certain things, no real loss, as in return i get to feel a whole lot better, not 100% there yet but heading in the right direction, that is a great feeling!
I got burgled in the summer, they took a lot of things & turned the house upside down, but all of the things that really matter in life were fine, Connor, the dogs, Thomas the cat & our hamster, we are all that really matters, we have a great alarm installed now & i don't take any chances, so another lesson learned & appreciated.
Also the difficulties within the world of some Scottie owners in the UK, i have re evaluated who i choose to call friends & feel blessed to have some really good ones, people with solid values in life about real life issues. A hard lesson this one has been, but i hold my head high as an honest, straight forward person & do not miss the awfulness of some of the antics that have occurred. I love my breed, i hope it has every chance to thrive in the new year & the shadows of 2011 cease to cast shade on what deserves to be a bright future.
I have had some wonderful moments during 2011 also, Connor starting school & taking to it like a duck to water, my first parents evening, shedding a tear or two of pride at what this little chap has achieved.
Making up one new Berrybreeze Champion, that being Supertramp (Jinny) also gaining 2 Challenge Certificates each on Berrybreeze Dizzee Rascal (Ronnie) & Berrybreeze Glad All Over (Gladys) she also has a BOB, Gladys is only 14 months old currently so quite an achievement for a baby.
Pebbles has had a great start to her show career & we have made some lovely new friends in Mini Wire Dachshunds.
Plus to my absolute delight on this New Years Eve i still have my beloved Martha (Ch Berrybreeze Fire Cracker) here to bring in the new year with us, she is my pride & joy at 13 years, 7 months & 26 days old.... who says dreams can't come true!
We would like to wish all of our friends old & new a New Year full of hopes & dreams coming true for you, good health & much happiness. We send you smiles & hugs. For the friends we have still to meet, we look forward to that day.
Happy New Year!
