Frasier on Zizokampos

I have recently learned that Frazier died of what seemed to be food poisoning on March 10th 2009. He was barely over a year old and is now buried at the new Archipelagos marine base in Ormos, Samos. He was by far the most lovable dog at the base and—unfortunately—one of the few things that kept many of the volunteer crew going.

The two of us didn’t have that many chances to spend time together but he sure made up for it. Our hike up Zizokampos and Ammoudia will remain a lasting memory, this little inbred mutt will be missed.

More photos and videos can be found in the memorial Facebook group.

See you little man, we’ll continue exploring!

March 15th, 2009 * Comments(0)

Hanibal got his second show appearance at IHA Graz dog show and this time he won without much of a problem.

And so Hanibal adds another CACIB, a CACA and a best of breed title to his pedigree.

Judge’s comments (Uschi Eisner, AT) with translation:

  • Harmonisch aufgebaute Rüde (harmoniously built dog)
  • Sehr schoner kopf m. typ Ausdruck (very nice head, m. type expression)
  • helles Auge (bright eyes)
  • havanafarben (havana colors)
  • schön geformte Brust (nicely formed front)
  • kräftige Knochen (strong bones)
  • gute winkelung (good angulation)
  • gut getragene Rüde (well carried dog)
  • flottes Gangwerk (jaunty motion)
  • angenehmes wesen (agreeable character)

(note there might well be mistakes in the transcript that make even less sense when translated, I tried my best)

Krnica ride

March 05th, 2009 * Comments(0)

Finally got some decent skiing done last week on Kanin. With record snowfall it was as close to a dream as you could possibly get. It could only be better if there was fresh powder, rather than compacted crud and ice. But it was still soooooo good.
