Gisteren is na 2 maanden na haar geboorte Eveline naar huis gekomen, we zijn dan ook in de wolken dat deze kleine meid eindelijk eens in onze armen mag rusten.Doordat ze geboren werd als prematuur mochten we ze nog niet vasthouden in het ziekenhuis (als grootouders is dat meestal wel iets waarna je naar uitkijkt!).Bij haar thuiskomst heeft ze ook nog even gedag kunnen zeggen tegen haar

Goeienacht mama, In tranen zitten we allen samen voor het verlies van onze liefste mama. Je bent vredig ingeslapen en dit zal voor ons een troost zijn, maar de leegte die je achterlaat zal nog lang naslepen.In tears we all sit together for the loss of our beloved mother, nothing can replace the gap you leave behind and the love we will miss now that you're not around anymore. Goodnight mother,

Gisteren zijn we de nieuwe step kunnen gaan ophalen die we via de kennel Narmenak (zie links aan de rechter kant) hadden gekocht en deze is vanmorgen de eerste maal uitgetest.Qannik en Galinka hadden iets van "dat apparaat hebben we nog al eens gezien" en hadden er gelijk zin in. ;)De step eerst buiten geplaatst en daarna de honden de riem en het harnas even aangedaan.

It has been a little quit with the show we were running in the last months. Having Vienna new to the pack was our first concern and socializing the new puppy with the dogs here and outside was one thing we wanted to do.But last Sunday we attended the show in Lommel and went in with Qannik and Vienna of Nikolatsjka (Vienna's first time in puppy class), and Galinka d'Abajomy.Qannik made a well

Vienna has been settling just fine with us over the last weeks, she is doing great with Qannik and Galinka as well as with Yalko, Benji and Jessy. In house she likes to fool around with Galinka and outside it's mostly Jessy or Benji who have to suffer here (sometimes overwhelming) games. ;-)Here favorite job is still digging in the earth ... making here way to China it seems at times. :DThen

Most of you know that I'm not the biggest fan of the 'most used operating system' and use other OS's that fill my need. Also my love for BeOS still remains and is getting a boost with the progress Haiku is making with each step forward. As a side note I sometimes try out other linux distro's (using xubuntu as my main OS atm) and one of them is Elive. A very fast system build on the Enlightenment

Yes! We are back on par with SDL games on Haiku. Seems that there was a problem with the sdl_image library, but after a fresh new compile I managed to get the games back working again. Time to start enjoying Fish Fillets NG, TuxMath, TuxPaint, TuxType, ScummVM and all the other games again!!!For the game downloads head over to ZETA-Games. ;)

Another xmas inspired day in Genk yesterday when we attended the dogshow. Santa was walking around with his bag making kids happy with small gifts/sweets (some were not so eager to meet up with him) ;).Qannik made 1st Excl. in the inbetween class (15 to 24 months) and ended up second best male witch gave him his first ResCAC in Belgium. Galinka made it 2nd VG and we were very glad to see her

Zaterdag laatsleden was er dan de aanvang van de grote Pampa wedstrijd op het militair domein in Helchteren.Voor ons was het een eerste keer dat we deze bezochten (buiten de training een paar weken terug) en de verwachtingen waren dan ook hooggespannen.Bij aankomst zagen we dat de parking voor deelnemers al goed gevuld was en dat we als bezoeker onze wagen wat verder moesten parkeren, door het

Every once in a while we are confronted with those we have lost in our lives ... one red line that has kept me sane when I lost my oldest brother was Bette Midler and her song "Wind beneath my wings"The song originated in the movie 'Beaches'. For most people who have seen this movie and grasped what it was standing for this song has been a very emotional one (letting go of the people you

Attended the Amsterdam Winner 2008 yesterday with Qannik and Galinka and got back the results we made as overall show results, Qannik didn't manage to end first but ended up in the 4th place but still got his Excellent (U), which was very nice to me (still wanted first place ... but don't we all) ;)Galinka came in 3th and got a usual Very Good (ZG), so maybe she's not a beauty competitor ...

Another small victory for added software for BeOS/ZETA/Haiku !!! Today I was able to compile and run the latest svn checkout for grafx2.Grafx2 is a bitmap paint program that allows you to draw in more than 60 video resolutions (from 320x200 to 1024x768, including most of the standard Amiga resolutions : 320x256, 320x512, 640x256, 640x512, etc... provided your videocard knows how to handle them).

As we are still new in the scene I thought it would be nice to visit the training camp (and later on the race) that's being organized by the pampa sleddog race.The race is being held in Helchteren which isn't even that far from home for us, so we are packing our dogs and head over to see the training camp.If you want more info you can always check the website from the sleddog race site or visit

Yesterday we entered the socialization test with Qannik and Galinka. This test is done to see if your dog is social enough to be around people, dogs, traffic etc. ...Galinka was being asked before and even had a short practice to prepare for the test, Qannik was only asked this week since there was a place available due to someone stepping out.This test is also needed to get to your license of

Maastricht had been preparing for this already 25th event of the International Dogshow. The halls were packed with dogs when the event started (as it should be), up to 2400 dogs entered the ring over 2 days. I think the organization can call it a succeeded event. ;)The preparations of Qannik and Galinka seems to have done some good, even if we didn't make first place with the dogs we are very

Yesterday we went to check the eyes of our dogs Qannik and Galinka and I can inform you all that the eyes were declared free in all category's ;)As this was our first time it was a bit exiting to go through the process of the tests and waiting for the results. No need to tell you that we are very glad to get these fine results.

In Nederland heeft men onlangs de felbetwiste RAD (regeling agressieve dieren) regel afgeschaft, en de nieuwe MAG test (maatschappelijk aanvaardbaar gedrag) die deze moet gaan vervangen krijgt al vanaf begin 2009 een nieuwe aanpassing. Het testen van agressieve dieren hangt nu niet meer af van de grootte van de hond. Ansich is dit een prima aanpassing, ware het niet dat de gedragstest niet voor

De variëteit aan honden is ook niet vreemd aan de school, je vind er rassen van de kleinsten (oa chihuahua) tot de grootsten (oa deense dog), van

Here's a short update on Brussels Dog Show that was held last weekend. We arrived quite early but the doors for the competitors were open from 7:30 so we could get in very quickly to get a bench and prepare for the show.All in all we had a great time there and the results (despite the one from Hulten for Qannik) were very good! Qannik made best Junior male and Best Junior Husky!! With that he

To bad the rain made us move into the tents were they could continue the judging of the dogs.Qannik and Galinka both went into the ring alone and Galinka did a nice job and got here very promising degree on here paper. Qannik however also made it first (hard not to when you are alone) ;) but only got a very good degree :'(, the judge told

Yesterday we went to Arnhem to attend the 'Pinkstershow' there. As Qannik was just 9 months and could enter the youth ring for the first time we had high hopes for him.While we had a good time and enjoyed our talks with the other attendees our main focus was entering the ring with our own dogs Qannik and Galinka.Qannik went into the ring and did a great performance and was able to get his first

Yesterday we went to Genk to the Ambiorix Troffee, Qannik made first male puppy and came in second best (lost that one from Sandy (Sweet Sandy of Silverlight)),Sandy in her turn won from Galinka in the female part for puppies. We'd like to congratulate Ron and Anja also this time for their help and guidance that we receive from them during the shows, also for their gained results in Genk, Sandy

Finally started training again in Maastricht, and finally being better in health I was eager to get back to training with the dogs. Qannik also found it very amusing, Galinka had a mind of her own and was a bit stubborn to start, but being 1.5months younger it's not so unusual, so I didn't push here to hard the first time. Next time we mean business ;) Blogged with Flock

Ik had al eerder bericht in dit blog in verband met de pup die we gekocht hadded eerder dit jaar (hij overleed 5 dagen na aankoop). Nu kwam ik onlangs een pagina tegen die hier enkele verhalen had geplaatst en wilde jullie deze ook meegeven om even door te lezen.Het aankopen van een pup van welk ras ook kan soms gebeuren in een opwelling (let wel ... de aankoop van een husky was al jaren geplant

Monday was the day the club match was held in Maastricht (Vilt) and the second show Qannik of Nikolatsjka had to walk (and myself for that matter) ;)Out of more then 40 dogs Qannik managed to make 6th ... not a bad result at all (being only 4 months old).Congratulations are in order for the winner and all the competitors - specialy Davy Visschers with his Tshi-zu Diego who made first place.A full

As you have read in my previous posts ... we got a new husky "Qannik" (www.siberianhuskiesnikolatsjka.nl/) to add there I have to say that also Galinka joined in our home. Galinka (http://www.abajomy.be/) is a brown female husky and plans are to go into showing the dogs on dog shows.Qannik already had his first show yesterday at the International Dog Show (http://www.lkv-dogshow.be.tt)- in Genk

Leaving our daughter in Gent yesterday ...Sending your kids to school when they are small is one of the hardest things you have to do as a parent, usually this is done by the mother when they are young.Now when going to high school it's another story ... and the father is actually more involved into this process. Marijke ... our second daughter (18 yrs) decided a short while ago that she wanted

After Qannik died we decided to look for a new pup and took our time to hunt for some Husky breeders. After visiting a few of them we made our choice and 2 breeders were selected were we wanted to buy our new puppie(s) from.Our luck couldn't be any better when the first breeder told us that the first puppies were due in a few weeks, second luck was that we could choose a name starting with Q,

Seems that all I do these days is saying goodbye to a lot of close friends.After Gerard came ZETA, and now I have to say goodbye to Qannik.Qannik is/was a Siberian Husky, we only got him last Friday, and he stole our harts from the very first day. The wife found the add for him online and we called right away to see if that pup was still around there.Qannik, we searched a long time just to find

Need to write some stuff down otherwise I'm going made :PWith all the recent discussions that are being held I don't get that people who take a lead part of a firm, like Acces and Magnussoft go public with all there announcements.If they would let the lawyers handle the stuff and started talking to each other instead of going public on (in the meantime) quiet a few public forums, news sites. I'm

Geheel onverwacht is gisteravond Gerard van ons heengegaan, zonder aankondiging of waarschuwing werd het leven hem ontnomen.In zijn laatste minuten hebben we hem nog geprobeerd bij ons te houden maar het mocht niet baten. We troosten ons dan ook in de gedachten dat hij niet heeft moeten lijden en omgeven was door zijn vrienden, en dat hij tot het laatste nog gedaan heeft wat ie altijd graag

Vandaag naar het concert van Roch Voisine geweest.Een zanger die op het podium niet telleurstelde en wist hoe hij het publiek moest aanspreken, prachtige muziek van vroeger en nu (verschillende nummers uit zijn laatste album - Sauf si l'amour) maar ook 'Helene' kwam aan de beurt (al moesten we hem er een keer of 6 voor terug op het podium halen) :)Al bij al een prima ervaring die ik zeker niet

Nadat het grote vertaalwerk gedaan was en het vele testen van ZETA gedaan was, ben ik aan het werk gegaan om te proberen nieuwe iconen voor ZETA aan te maken.Hoe deze er gaan uitzien kan ik jullie nog niet laten zien nu maar dat ze er mooi uitzien heb ik al van menigeen mogen horen. ;)Dus vanaf nu zul je buiten je eigen moedertaal ook nog wat visueel werk van ondergetekende kunnen vinden in de

Gisteren was het dus tijd voor onze tweede meeting. Dit keer was de afspraak in Turnhout.Aangekomen bleken de contacten al heel snel gelegd en werd het een vrolijke bedoening. ;)We kunnen dan ook zeggen dat het een heel geslaagde ontmoeting was, met enkele vreemde bevindingen, zo blijkt dat Mike en Soulke elkaar al kennen van vroeger en zelfs bijna geburen waren. Zelfs sweetieke bleek geen
