Christmas 2006

We celebrated Christmas with Tony, Karin, and her parents, who came all the way from Malaysia. Christmas was kind of white, not with snow, but frozen moisture. All in all a pretty picture.

The final episode.
Having given it a lot of thought, we decided not to adopt Bruno, and took him to the kennels in Bergerac. The first thing they did was find out that Bruno did have a chip afterall.
Within minutes the owner was found and called. Bruno du Pech de Mont is Beaujoe de Calviac and he will be collected from Bergerac on Saturday.

Bruno is working his way up. He is already in the house at night, but still sleeps outside.
The 2 dogs get along.

Bruno du Pech de Mont does not have a chip. We found out through the animal protection lady from Veyrignac. She had a machine to find and read the chip.
On thursday Bruno will be announced in the newspaper, and if there is no reaction by monday, he will be brought to a kennel in Bergerac, either by me or he will be collected.
To be continued........

Black guest

Yesterday we went for a walk and met a black sort of labrador stray dog. Janny gave it a cookie and, of course, he followed us home. Now we are stuck with him.
This morning I went to the police, the townhall and called the French RSPCA. We also put a poster at the bakery. Not easy to handle in French, but that's rural life in France.
We have named him Bruno, and, as our Sacha is sort of French royalty with a double barrel name , we made it into Bruno du Pech de Mont.
Hopefully we find the owner.

The past month we demolished some old canopies and extended the garage / workshop instead.
Looks a lot better now, the rock behind our house is now more visible.
