Summer is just around the corner, so I’m sharing some photos and videos of what’s new with us or with our puppies and friends.

In early June, we lost Mr. Donatello (Donatello la Compagnie d’les Amies) at the age of 14. He enjoyed a beautiful 13 years with us. With his departure, our pack now consists only of standard poodles.

Minion (Anniversary Pearl Ambershades) celebrated her 9th birthday on June 9th.

Finally, I got around to grooming our pack, one by one. With this many dogs, it’s not worth putting it off.

No “after transformation” photo, as usual 😀

Matýsek (Maestro from the Drum family) had some fun during a break from grooming

Růženka (Bright Shade of Rose Ambershades) celebrated her 5th birthday on June 17th.

Růža’s sister, Satanka (Bright Sunny Day Ambershades), celebrated her birthday in a grander style

Turbo (Cosmic Drive Ambershades) went to the hairdresser and got a beautiful summer cut.

Hugo (Cosmic Spark Ambershades) is preparing for his swimming career. He also went to a new hairdresser.

Chilli (Cosmic Blaze Ambershades) and older black sister Mia stopped for coffee with their ownerlady on their way to South Moravia, and we had a great time.

Valinka (Cosmic Nebula Ambershades) is preparing for winter. She diligently brings home a piece of wood from every walk.

Our friend Ruda (Ruda z Derže) has a new pointer brother named Hawkey and they came to visit us. We humans enjoyed a nice barbecue while Hawkey and Fiona did some socializing.

We also received greetings from Cézar (Cosmic Stardust Ambershades), who is enjoying the sunny weather with his ownerlady and younger silver brother.

Ríša (Cosmic Encounters Ambershades) doesn’t seem to enjoy the heat much. But he’s a passionate gardener, as flowers from the bed disappear day by day 🙈 And just like his sister Fiona, mother Růženka, or great-grandmother Maja, he suffers from an insatiable appetite 🤣🤔
