Max (Inanda Mellberg Valentin) is progressing so well with his nose-work, with "long-distance" help from Leigh Roos at Sniff South Africa .

Thank you Lauren and John for keeping in touch, and keeping my posted.

Red (Qred C) and his owner Kim came with us to Nose-Work yesterday.

And we (Stanza and I) thought they both enjoyed it, and Red did very well.

Leigh Roos from Sniff SA was also very pleased with him.

Red is a litter brother to my Dia (Quaraa Hadiya C), and to Opie (Quentin C) in Luxembourg.

I missed the one this year, but really hope I can attend in 2026.

I have been feeding raw since 2003, and for the past 10+ years I have been lucky enough enough to have Pin Oaks "on my doorstep".

I also find Pawsome Raw excellent, and I am ever grateful to Star Butchery for their excellent marrowbones, cut to size.

Add to this extra kefir (as and when appropriate) and CBD products from Woofable ... I'm well looked after.

Nimla's late sister, Inanda Mellberg Nova by Bolt, went to Germany many years ago.

And here are two of her offspring, Chili and Chila.

Thank you Volker for the lovely pic.

The annual Rand Hunt Club Boxing Day Meet ... out and about with Vanja.

She no doubt misses Waris, but on days like today ... lots of other dogs to play with.

Once the hounds arrive, she's put back on a lead.

Leaving tomorrow, but for the best home imaginable.

"My" little Waris, eight months old on December 25th, is finally leaving for her forever home with Alexandra Häusler tomorrow evening.

It's all very bittersweet. I have known since April this year that she was going.

I have been in awe of Alexandra's commitment, and of her frequent visits to spend time with Waris before she could travel.

But ... it's still not easy.
