| For long time my husband and I lived with 2 labradors. On September 12th in 2006, Eve passed away . On January 20th in 2008, Nana, Eve's daughter, also passed away . I knew such a day would come someday, but I was deeply sad. My husband even said to me " I don't have a dog any more". But it was difficult for me to live without a dog. We argued over this for a short time. Finally My husband gave in to having a dog. Then we joined up to search our dog. Labrador is the best dog for me. However it was hard for me to take care of such a big dogs when they were old. So I started looking for a middle-sized dog. I got a lot of information on the books or on the internet. At last I found a dog. This is the one! I thought. It was Welsh springer spaniel. Welshie was ideal for me, middle-sized, smart, friendly and cute. However, no breeders seemed to be found in Japan. So I tried to search for them in foreign countries. I chose Australia. After spending a lot of time to search for the good breeder, I stopped at the web site of Goldmaid. Luckily, Goldmaid was a great breeder. Through making contacts with Goldmaid, I thought I could rely on them. I tried to find a name of next dog in “Baby Names World". But they had confusingly too many names to choose one. Finally I decided to name a dog Mona. I like the meaning of "Mona". It means a nice little noble one in Greek. Mona might be the last dog for us. It was a very long time until Mona was born and longer time it was until I finally met her. At last Mona flew to Japan on June 22, 2008. What will Mona's future be? I could not update my web site for a long time as I had hard days taking care of Eve and Nana. But now I can make a new step. And the new story begins. |
