Made up our minds

  • Best wishes on your new adventure!

  • How exciting for you! What a big change in your lives; is Kas ready to be land-bound? You will probably still keep a boat so you can go sailing just to have fun.

  • I wish you both the best and hope one of the two looking at your ship will say we want it and buy it. Sounds like all of you are going to have a great time having a farm and feet on land all the time. I like Germany never been there but my father's side is from Germany they all came over way back when things were so bad in Germany. Was funny when I would vist my great grandparents house you did not speak Germany in there house and if you did they would always say how did you learn that trash. Now my brother-in-law was teaching German at college in Alabama now he's head dog as we say at college.

  • Wishing you best of luck Kim and Kas…sounds like 2010 will be a adventurous year for all of you..so exciting.
    I know you've made the right decision on where to make your dreams come true..follow your heart.
    Good luck..let us know all you plans and pictures, pictures, pictures please...(once you get there of course ;) )

  • Wishing you the best of luck on your Ostrich farm and in 2010. Looks like all the big changes you have been planning will be coming true!

  • That's great you found the place :). Do you already know in which part in Germany it will be?

  • @Janneke:

    That's great! I hope you can achieve your dreams in 2010!

    It's funny.. There is a professor in Utrecht and she lives part of the year in South Africa with family of her and they also have an Ostrich farm. First thing she said when she started her collage was: If you ever want to visit, you're all welcome in Africa.. gg.. But you do have to help on the farm :D

    You can take Tillo with you!!! :D
    The people from one Ostrich farm in Germany have a Ostrich farm in Africa too! :D

    Terry

    He is sailing from a fifteen year old, so he won't have much trouble living on land :D
    The both of us do have issues sometimes, when we are on land we sometimes think we "move" a bit (with a ship you always move a little bit…)

    Germany is doing much better now, but you still can see the results of the bad times. Many older people still search every trash bin they see.. (look for usefull material, especially around the places were ships stay the night)
    It's weird to see people with expensive bikes looking at trash

    @irena:

    That's great you found the place :). Do you already know in which part in Germany it will be?

    Yes!!!
    We hope to end up around Porta westfalica (Nordrhein-Westfalen)
    You can enter "porta westfalica" at google, then you can see some pics!

  • I look forward to seeing the boys chasing Ostich's and by boy's I mean Ryan also. Can hardly wait.

  • I loved Germany while I was there. I lived in Baden-Wurtemburg in the town of Schwaebisch Hall and then in Bayern in the town of Lengfeld just outside Wurzburg. There is no better place on earth to have a young baby.

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @Kembe, nice post! We've gone to solid food chopped up in a food processor, but we're grinding it a bit more course as we go. So far, no puppies are choking, but good to know!

    Hey, we must be on the same wave length. I've been watching that first one the last couple of days but hadn't seen #3. Here's the other one that got passed around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGODurRfVv4 I decided to train Zest to bring my slippers to me. I think it took about 4 clicks for her to catch on. Last night I couldn't toss them around the corner and down the hall fast enough. And I have to say, I have heavy soled slippers, so it's not an easy task for a little girl. But she loves to bring me things. A few nights ago she found a wrapper from tenderloin in the yard. (wind blows a lot around here.) "Thank you Zest. Would like a cookie for that?" "Yes, momma, I'd like a cookie and you can have this prize. I thought you'd like it." She's such a good little girl! Here's pics from last weekend. The first one, the one of the closed tunnel, is from her titling run. So I bought it and now it's in the fridge. http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/ThumbPage.aspx?e=5759087&g=03PG007V23
