Normally, I only write about my teddy bears, but I have to share a problem I have got: I had ordered a kitten of a Russian Blue cat. She would be 12 weeks old on September 24th when I could pick her up. Just the other day the most beautiful kitten and its mother visited out garden. Of course, I didn't let our standard poodle out in the garden until I had seen the mother cat and the kitten had gone away. 5 minutes after I had let the dog out I looked out and saw the mother cat and my dog stearing each other in the eyes, just one meter apart. The the hunt began, but of course the dog couldn't catch the cat. That was when I saw a dead kitten lying on the lawn. My dog had just broken its neck.
Now I do not know what to do. I am not sure that I can trust my dog with a kitten in the house.
Mayby someone can tell me if they have had an experience like this. I still would like very much to have a cat - but do I dare?
For the sake of good order I should mention that the photo is not the kitten in question, but an other Russian Blue kitten.
Luckily, both my husband and his sister have agreed to help me at the show. I know from experience that there will be lots of people around the reborn dolls asking questions, etc. It is essential that there is a person to concentrate on the bears as well. The customers for bears and dolls are not the same.
I am showing three little bears here. I think they are cute.
I don't think that I will do any more shows this autumn. My next show abroad will be Hugglets in February 2010.
