So completely different from winter we start the Advent season today. At stormy wind but brilliant lat. autumn sun Shadi and Jane enjoy our afternoon walk. What unusual mild November weather and still no snow in sight. However, we want to wish all of you out there a happy Advent season.
Christoph spontaneously invited for a small autumn hike in the valley of the river Elbe.. A nice little group of 10 hikers, 5 American Akitas, a boxer dog and Doberman bitch Sunny finally came together.
Our route took us along the Elbe river, across the railway bridge in Lower Wartha by Tännichtgrund, past old quarries to the natural monument "five brothers". The five brothers are five hundred-years old chestnuts that have been declared as a natural monument because of their age and their specific expression. There are several legends, one reads something like: Five brothers went out to find their sister who had been abducted by a dragon while bathing in a sheep pond. In the fight with the dragon, the brothers were killed. On the wedding day with the dragon the girl was able to flee. Later, she planted in memory of her five
brothers each a chestnut tree.
Having arrived back at Christoph’s it was already dark and in his wine cellar we finished the beautiful afternoon with quince liqueur, wine and sandwiches.
Thanks to our guide Christoph and attached there are a few photos as usual.

Our Shadi is three years old today.Unbelievable, as time goes by, just a handful of puppy and today a handsome fellow. Happy birthday, dear Shadi, great to have you here with us.
What a wonderful autumn weather, it feels like summer. Shadi snapped the chance for a refreshing dip in the Wesenitz during our today’s walk. Only up to his belly, of course, and the best thing is when someone throws delicious pieces of sausage or sticks into the water.
Separation is our destiny, our reunion is hope. As bitter as death is, it is not able to separate love. She isn’t alive anymore, but not out of our lives.
In our hearts, Cheyenne lives on and happily we remember the many beautiful moments and experiences that we could share with her.
The lasting memory of our dear Chey - a sequence of images to the tune that started it all.
We have already seen this day coming for months, and now the time has come. With tears in my eyes I am writing this farewell letter. She was so unique, incomparable. Never again will an Akita female take her place in our hearts.
Dear Chey, we are so grateful for the 13 years and 11 months, that you accompanied our lives. It's heartbreaking to have to let you go, but we know it was a relief from the pain that you had suffered from in the past few months, more and more.
Run free and rush off like in the old days, up to the Rainbow Bridge, where Bruno is waiting for you. And Aaron and Doshi.
