SRK registration number for Iines :-)

I got a new pedigree for Iines today. She was officially registered to SRK 29.8.

Saga and Häjy

Saga and Häjy have been very active today :-) Tomorrow Häjy is going home and I'll keep my thumbs up that there will be kittens in the beginning of November (week 44).

Finally! Saga is waiting for Häjy...

After (almost) 7 months! Saga is finally getting a heat. It started yesterday and Häjy may be coming to visit her today. For Saga the third day has been the best and because I'm at work from 9-16, I think it's best to drive to Laukaa today and maybe tomorrow they can get it on ;-)

Iines is trying to be the male that Saga needs *laughs* In the morning she bit Saga's neck and tried to be on top of her. It really looked quite stange that such a little kitten was on Saga's back...

I took Roope at my parents house in the morning, because the last thing I need is him assisting Saga in any way. He has done it before and now I think nothing happened between them. I guess Roope will spend the night there if my parents allow him to be there. It could be quite a stress for him to be home and I don't want him to stess at all.. that could get his urine problems going again.

My plan is to also separate Iines and Lulu from each other, because Lulu can't stand Iines at the moment. Maybe it's best to keep them apart, that they won't attack each other if they wonder about the noices in the bathroom...

I'm a bit surprised that Saga got the heat so suddenly after the show. I was hoping that the show would trigger it, but this was faster than I thought. Nice going thoug, I have a meeting with a teacher 7:30 AM, so I'm guessing I'll be quite tired if I can't get any sleep at night...

If Saga's date with Häjy is succesful, the kittens would be born around november :-)

Iines (pictures from the panel)

Pictures were taken by Hanne Lankinen. Thank you Hanne for these lovely pictures :-)

Rurok's show 26.8.

Saga and Iines attended to Rurok's show today. Both girls had competitors and today was their day and they both won.

Saga got her third CAGCIB, so there is still a long way to her becoming GIC. But there is no hurry. I would like her to have her kittens this year, so that's our priority - not shows. Saga was sent "home" when best in variety was chosen and she got to sleep in her cage rest of the day.

Iines won her competition too and surprisingly she was also nominated! Iines behaved really nicely the whole day :-) She was also very nicely in the panel, but no votes :-)

Saga's daughter Täplä got her second CAC and there is a possibility that she will get the Champion titel next week! Sharma is also one CAC away from being Champion. Hopefully both will get their titles this year.

My vacation is now over so tomorrow I'll head back to work... So I'm off to bed now, maybe I'll add some pictures from the show tomorrow.

New pictures of Saga

I finally got some pictures of Saga :-) Usually she's not so keen on posing for the camera, but this time she managed to look pretty good!

She really has a nice coat at the moment! She also had a nice coat a year ago, when she had her kittens. We laughed then that she wanted to look good in the kittenpictures ;-) but obviously she likes to grow her coat during summertime.. strange ;-)

Rurok's show approaching

We washed Saga's tail on Wednesday and it looks very good now :-) Today I was helping Marja to wash Täplä and we also washed Athene, even though she isn't going to any shows. So now all I have to do is to cut Saga's nails and pack everything.

I think I'm going to go stop by in the show tomorrow, but Saga and Iines are going only on Sunday.
It's really exciting to see what the judge thinks of my girls, they - of course- have the same judge. Täplä has Pia Nyman and Igge is going to Saetre's table. So it will be an interesting show!

After the show in Tampere next weekend, Iines is going to take a break from shows. I will bring her to Porvoo in the end of September and then maybe to Turku in November. She is developing slowly so there is no point in dragging her to every single show. Next year we will start hunting certificates, let's see how that works out :-D
