A Picard's Life by Xiros de la Vallee du Mouton

Welcome to my Diary

Dear Diary,

welcome to my crazy life ;)
Why it is crazy? Because I'm the most crazy & funny dog ever ;) That's what Alina says about me.

Well I should tell you some News in my life, shouldn't I?
There isn't much new, but in Septemer Alina took me to some dog shows. We where in Maribor in Slowenia. It was a very great day, because also my owner, who is Alina's aunt came with us. And I really love to go to shows. Well I absolutly hate grooming. I belong to a very old working dog line. I really don't see any sense in brushing my hair. Ok, I really look good, when Alina is ready. And so of course I love to show me in the ring where everybody can see, how beautiful I am.
Of course I won Best of Breed... well, in private I can say, I was the only Picard in the Show, but I'm sure I would have beated any other ;)
So I nearly have all CACs to be Slowenian Champion. But Alina told me there's a big problem: I've to have a working dog certificate to be awarded the title. That's going to be hard. Not that I'm not the best working dog at all... I work hard every day: herding cars, protecting my owners from very bad squirrles and so on. But Alina thinks we don't get a certificate for that...

The other show we went to was in Austria. It wasn't very nice. We lifed in a caravan & it was raining the whole night long - much work for me to bark at this stupid rain. Alina & her friend Nicole always shouted at me, because I was barking. The stupid girls don't understand who important it is to tell them about every rain trop.
And at the show - nevertheless I was very beautiful again - I didn't got my CAC for the Austrian Champion title :( My head shouldn't be masculine enough. *Haha* I am very masculine! The Picard Ladies at the show also said that. The judge doesn't know what's masculine...
I also was a bit angry about Alina & Nicole, they always looked at other dogs. I think they want to buy new ones... I really can't understand that, I'm the best dog of all. Well I don't belong to them, but they don't need theire own dogs as long as they are friend with me! Or is it because I'm not masculine enough?
Well I'll find it out & I'm going to tell you about it!

Yours,
Cousteau
