MOUCHETTE OR AFFECTIONATELY CALLED "MOO" HAS MADE IT TO 15!!

                                                (AUST CH WEEDRAM M COPPER COIN ET)

                                                          A TIARA FOR THE QUEEN!

WHEN WE CELEBRATED MOO'S 14TH BIRTHDAY LAST YEAR, WE HOPED IT WOULDN'T BE THE LAST! WELL HERE WE ARE AGAIN THIS YEAR CELEBRATING HER 15TH BIRTHDAY. SHE HAS SLOWED DOWN ALOT IN THE PAST 12 MTHS BUT IS STILL THE QUEEN OF OUR HOME!

WE KNOW THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE NOW AND WE PLAN TO ENJOY ALL THAT WE HAVE LEFT WITH HER. OLD AGE IS CERTAINLY CATCHING UP WITH HER BUT AS LONG AS SHE IS STILL HAPPY AND SHOWS NO SIGNS OF BEING IN ANY PAIN WE WILL DO ALL WE CAN TO MAKE SURE HER REMAINING TIME WITH US IS A HAPPY TIME!

SHE HAS BEEN ON HER "REPLENEX" TABLETS FOR THE ARTHRITIS, THOUGH ONLY MILD, SHE DOES GET A BIT STIFF AT TIMES. HER HEARING IS FAILING, THOUGH I'M SURE IT IS STILL VERY MUCH SELECTIVE! AT TIMES I'M SURE HER EYE SIGHT IS ALSO FAILING BUT SHE CAN SEE THE CAT FROM A MILE AWAY!

SHE STILL KEEPS EVERYONE ELSE UNDER CONTROL AND THEY ALL STILL SHOW HER THE RESPECT THEY ALWAYS HAVE AS THE MATRIACH OF THE FAMILY! WE KNOW NOW THAT EVERYDAY WITH HER IS A BLESSING AND A BONUS. FOREVER GRATEFUL THAT SHE HAS REACHED 15 WITH NO MAJOR HEALTH PROBLEMS AND PRAY THAT SHE CONTINUES ON THE WAY SHE HAS SO FAR! APART FROM THE NORMAL "OLD AGE" AILMENTS SHE IS VERY HEALTHY, STILL EATING WELL AND IS STILL QUITE ACTIVE - MAYBE JUST A BIT SLOWER THAN SHE USED TO BE!

ALL THE DOGS ENJOYED A SPECIAL TREAT FOR MOO'S BIRTHDAY, WHILE SHE ENJOYED SOME OF HER CAKE - AT HER AGE A BIT OF BIRTHDAY CAKE ISN'T GOING TO HURT!

MOO IS OUR FOUNDATION BREEDING MALINOIS BITCH. SHE PRODUCED 2 STUNNING LITTERS TO OUR FOUNDATION DOG "RAHNEE". THESE ARE THE PARENTS OF AUSTRALIA'S ONLY 2 GRAND CHAMPION MALINOIS. WE HAVE 6 GENERATIONS OF MALINOIS STILL ALIVE WITH US HERE STARTING WITH MOO. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE LONGIVITY OF OUR DOGS, ALSO HAVING MOO'S SON HERE AT 11 1/2 YRS OLD.

SHE CAME TO US FULLTIME AT 6 YEARS OF AGE. SHE HAD NOT BEEN SHOWN SO WE SET OUT TO GET HER AUST CHAMPION TITLE. COMPETING AGAINST HER GR CH DAUGHTER "TESSIE" SHE WON MANY CHALLENGES AND ACHIEVED HER CH EASILY INCLUDING WINNING 2 RES CHALLENGE AWARDS AT ROYAL SHOWS BEHIND HER DAUGHTER AND BEATING OTHER FEMALES!!

MOO ALSO WAS AWARDED HER ENDURANCE TEST TITLE JUST BEFORE SHE TURNED 8 YEARS OF AGE (CUT OFF AGE FOR COMPETING)

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOUCHETTE!!**
