06/11/08 Today is a very sad day...
Anneli from Flatterhaft Flatcoats and I have been planning Kajsa's first litter for months and we were both very excited about future Perra/Kajsa puppies. I met Perra in Sweden and I just fell in love with him. He was such a handsome, happy dog with beautiful darks eyes and a constantly wagging tail.
It's a shock for everyone that Perra fell ill yesterday and within hours Anneli had to say good bye to her very special boy. He will be sadly missed and my thoughts are with you Anneli.
