Vacation in the year 2010
This year a short vacation had been planned. A few months ago the owners of Ciro
and Nayka asked us to come for a visit to Rosenheim, a city in the near of Munich.
Another family, who had purchased a puppy from us 10 years ago did meet up with us
on that weekend.
Exactly the date to go there, we had not planned yet, until our Savage left us for
good Arthur thought, this would be the right time for a short get away, so Dagmar´s
loss would not be on her mind constantly. Thinking back, Dagmar thinks, that this was
the best thing to do. Seeing little Barretts and enjoying them, talking to their owners,
enjoying the landscape around Rosenheim and Munich was exactly what she had needed.
Together with Arthur and their bikes the vacation started on a Thursday. A nice
hotel in Rosenheim was found and all the above mentioned families had met and enjoyed
wonderful hours together. During the day bike ride were on the plan, in the evening
a get together for dinner and on Saturday a visit to their training place.
The landscape around Chiemsee was explored by bike on one day. During this bike
ride Arhur seen a lot of good motives to take pictures, especially near Chiemsee and
Starnberger See, two very large and famous lakes near Munich.
Like always, when Dagmar goes on these trips, the rest of the family takes care
of her four legged friends at home. This time Jason and Dennis took care of them. At
this point we like to thank them again for their help. Without the whole family putting
their input into the house, the yard and the animals, Dagmar would not have been able
to get away for a few days to get back her energy for the tasks throughout the year.
A few friends and owner of House-Barrett dogs know already, that Jason, her youngest
son, will attend High School in San Diego for the time period of two years in a few
weeks. Only for Christmas and summer vacation Jason will come back home. It is nice
to know, that two Barretts live in San Diego, one 6 year old female - a sister to Simon
- and since a few weeks little Nuno, a progeny of Nora and Tyson. So Jason will still
be surrounded by Barrett dogs, even during the stay in the USA Dagmar is pretty sure,
that some of the Barrett owners over here in Germany are a little sad to see Jason
leave, because he was the main person to present dogs in a show. But of course everybody
wishes him the best for the future. When he returns he will be a young man and hopefully
one of these days we will see him back in one of the shows. Every so often we will
give an update of Jason.
Dagmar sure feels sad about Jason leaving, but she wants the best for her children
and she knows, that children these days have a better chance in life, if they learn
all kind of new things and get as much aducation as they can get while they are young.
In the long run they will be more independent and learn what is important in life and
what is not.
Dagmar is fascinated of the animals and nature. She loves being around both. Not
only does she love to raise puppies, train dogs, she also loves to ride horses and
bikes. Everything what has to do with nature. Often she says, that people should enjoy
more the moment just like our animals do. There is no reason to be unhappy, if someone
is healthy. All the money in the world does not count, if someone is sick. She only
was gone for a few days, but these few days she enjoyed to the fullest with just sunshine,
a nice landscape and being part of nature, while riding the bike through the landscape
of Chiemsee and one day the 60 km tour bike ride around the Starnberger See. Her believes
are, that every day is a present and who can live the day without sickness and among
their loved ones may call himself very lucky.
If a visitor of our webpage has plans to ever visit Germany, this is one place he
has to see. Munich with its nice lakes and the view of the Austrian Mountains.
Now, please enjoy viewing the below pictures.
