2009

2009-10-05: Fanny (Barowiak's Anna Pavlova) has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We will miss our great old lady but we are grateful to her for all that she have giving us - most of all a wonderful litter (the B-litter). Fanny was the last one from my first litter that now have passed away.

It's really have been a terrible year; first the hardest lost of them all - my mother. After that the chocking lost of Buzan (see below) and now Fanny. I hope it's over for now and we will all, both on two and four legs, stay healthy.

 
  • 2009-08-22: Cathara and  Chagall BIS-junior and BOS-junior at Swedish Borzoi Clubs Specialty in Borlänge. They also was placed BM-3 and BB-3 under judge Monica Bengtsson, kennel Radoga.

2009-08-14: Our beloved, joyous Buzan is not with us any more! We had to put her to sleep due to bone cancer.

She started to limp a little about four weeks ago. Five days later when she didn't get any better I called the vets and we got an appointment three days later. I thought there would be no problems waiting these three days since she didn't seem to be in any pain. I could stretch and bend her leg; she didn't say anything and she was as happy as always. The day before we were going to the vets she suddenly became totally lame in her leg, but still as happy as normal. She jumped around on three legs without any problem. I could still stretch and bend the leg without any complaints from her. We went to the vets the next day and she couldn't find anything wrong with her and put on antibiotics. She gave us a new appointment with an orthopaedist two weeks later. Two days prior to the appointment she had became a little swollen on her knee and was now in pain. We got to the specialist and she examined her and thought it was a bit odd and wanted to have new x-rays taken and they also x-rayed her shinbone and there she found what we hoped she would not .... ...bone cancer! She must have been in such a pain - and she never complained!

There was nothing to do for her but to end her pain and put her to sleep. It's so tragic! She was only 7 years old and so happy and joyful; grinning and wagging her tail  like a propeller. She had the darkest and most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen (just like her grandmother Nadja - she also often smiled and wagged her tail the same way). The whole family going to miss her very much as well as many of our friends.
