Mariquita DES
VALLEES ENGISSOISES
When
she is born, I couldn’t believe in my eyes. A little cream dog, however I’m
a black or grey specialist. What curious thing to obtain a blond dog out of
two black parents… Ah the genetic and her mysteries…In this genealogy, we
had only a very famous Grand’dad who was Blond, the famous Rannoch Skye
Superstar, this is the own explication…I didn’t want to keep any baby, but
when this litter is born, I was under the charm. I feel in myself that I had
to keep the maximum of this one. I kept Thunderbolt and Tina. Everybody
knows the fabulous begin of career of Thunderbolt, but nobody knows Tina.
It’s normal, she is living with our friend Allan and Peter for two years. It
has been decided at the born, because it’s very important for England to
import new blood, with their long, long quarantine of the past, their
marvellous and excellent blood needs a perfusion of new one for the health
of the breed there. Like this Alan imported some finish blood, and take back
the English blood of the father, Callum. Callum was the best of breed of
Cruft 2000. it was like that. Tina was not mine, and I mustn’t forget that.
But my problem is I’m mad of all my dogs, very protected and very maternal.
When I came to Calais to meet Allan, I started to be frightened in my heart.
I couldn’t give my bitch without hope to take her back later. Allan
understand. He knows me, very often, he reproached me to be to enclose with
my dog, it’s no good for a show animal, because he has child reaction
sometimes… He knows that dogs are happy at home and they are my life… He
lent me Callum during two years, the best proof of his trust. At home, dogs
are in freedom on 50 000 M² of nature, and they happy, they are running all
the time…Nane is gone in November 200. it was the most worst thing I had to
do in my life. I was crying inside, I wanted to shout but…I didn’t give any
emotion… I staid normal in appearance… It was like if we took a part of
myself. Her first show was a success, but after things start to go wrong.
Tina decided to eat her coat. Stress with a Skye can be very devastator. And
gives some results of auto-mutilation. At Cruft, she was lovely, but if she
would have more coat on the back legs it should have been better, but
however I was very proud of her, except the coat on the back, she was
wonderful. I spent all the day with her. It was very nice for me and I was
more quiet to let her. Tina is like her bother, she is obstinate, normal
it’s a terrier! If she decided to eat her coat, because she wants to come
back in France, nothing can’t stop her… She has a very good construction,
Long, Low and Level… The rule of the three “L”. She has a very nice
pigmentation which is too rare with a blond Skye, in general. It’s that
reason it’s very important to marry so often as possible a light dog with a
dark dog, because little by little, we begin to obtain cream dogs with light
ear, and the Skye Terrier’s Standard tells that ears must be darker as
possible. Nane is a dominant woman. At home, she was a champion to disturb
all the other dogs, and she was happy and proud of her. It’s a lovely dog
without problem, we miss her terribly, even if the house is more quiet and
even if the silence came back, because this little Madame had a lot of
things to say…We expect her return at home, every day, she is present in our
mind… But we never forget that this gesture was a love gesture for tow men
who helped us one day to have an interesting kennel, it was our thank even
if it was a big sacrifice.
Tina come back from England on the 14/12/04 ...........

Nane
My little bitch that I know so bad because I gave
you when you
were a puppy
to Allan, as
previous who had made
the choice to
keep you when
you borned. Things were yet clear, I could not have
one dog more dog but
a blonde borned in the kennel of "The Valleys Engissoises", it was so rare that we do
to not let pass. So yes, I took an agreement with you with my friend Allan, I let you go,
when all the tests
for England will be done. In my life, everything was going too fast, I was in
a bad period
of my life...
I was fragile.... My daughters had decided to leave
me to live with
their father and even if you
know that children are promised
to leave you
one day, the mother wolf that I'm,
was not ready
to loose two of my children, I falt
down little
by little towards a
kind of weariness destructive. You, liitle dog, you do not do the weight and yet only
God
knows how much I love you, the sadness was much bigger than it seemed to be, the pain too strong.
You, lost in the whirlwind, I Have never tried to know you, really. you were not my
dog, and even if you've borned at home, you were crossing my life...
You, also, were going to leave me, and I had to protect me if I did
not want to become crazy. I did all Formalities for you departure, each of those
take you a little
bit more, I knew
it…
Sometimes I was happy because you were noisy and like terribly fights. In
fact, I was
looking for
some reason
to dislike you...
To protect me...
D-Day arrived, I had a bowl to the throat, which did not leave. You were looking
to me with your
love eyes...It
was so hard,
I didn't want
to cross your
eyes...I did not know yet but
I felt so guilty. How could
I do this, you, innocent little dog, you thought that we were leaving just for
a walk... you
did not say "goodbye" to your brother. You were reassured because your father was
there, he returned in England with you. he found back its house... You did not know is that he was returning home and that it was
normal… Allan was not to go… My heart began to beat wildly, and if the formalities
were wrong???
I would be obliged to
bring you at home, my Nane… Then he arrived, everything went quickelyt… He
knelled down, called Callum who jumped into his arms with enthusiasm and joy,
without a look for me... Two years of care, love
and not a think, an emotion for our last moment together. Allan came to you, brandished
the lead that I had strogly in my wet hand and start to walk with you to see your mechanics
You pulled, you did not want, you did not know him. you were looking to
me anxiously
and you call me with
you eyes "help
me, please". I felt some tears
in my eyes, I
mustn't… I
knew it. It put you in the Kennel I believe that my heart breaks, the car was
driving in direction boarding. I go back in our car and we started to leave.
STOP… I ran followed by Patricia, towards the boarding… I
wanted to accompany you until the last limit and if the papers were not in
order?!!... But, Everything was ok… it
was finished, you were leaving
me for life and I will never
see you anymore,
it was more
than I could
accept… Not
possible for
me… I turned to Allan. I can not told him I say.
Do what you want with my bitch: expos, babies And so on.… But promise me to give
me back my Tina
in two years… I can not… It's my daughter… He understood, he knows me So well he would make it, he had promised. I felt more quiet and relieved… It would follow
my promise,
but it was to
hard. I can't
give him my
baby definitively… But
we didn't previous
that your strong personality
have decide
differentely
as us. You won your first
show and then everything went wrong, you were unhappy. You started to damage
your own body
little by little,
your fur, your
skin..., your fur was torn, you had chosen and you called for
help. You didn't speak their language, you don't like their life so different
as our life
and they had no children. It was too hard for you, all these changes. You
wanted to come back home. We have not understood. You'll accept finally to stay
in England,
to forget us
but... I
saw you back atCruft few months later, you
were beautiful, in despite of your mutilated leg . I spent the day with you .
I wanted to
give you all
my love, I wanted
to catch back
the lost time.... you
were sleeping
on my heart,
you seemed so
quiet and relieved
to have foud
back your "mother",
maybe you thought
that it was
the end of your
baddream… But I put you back in your kennel, it was time to leave you... You
accepted, you
knew that you
had not choice. We did not
understand with a mutilated leg, you are going to follow your destruction.... A nice fur Skye
sliding on the floor With bare feet, perhaps we are going to react. A fixed idea
threaded me. I wanted your return in France, in your home, with your familly... At your next season, you would be
mated there and yo'll come back home... But even your season diseappear. Stress?
surely... Alan
decided to let
down. He can't
show you anymore,
he can't have
babies... He
understand that
it was time
to accept your
prayer....
When you saw me, you jumped into his arms. You took me strongly, you didn't
want me to let
you anotehr
time.
I do not let you my beautiful not, this time. You came back to home,
you found back with pleasure your litter brother, your home, your Maeva...
Your life.... but
you were different.... More
anxious, more sade, and you follow me everywhere, you were stick on me I'm
yours and you protect me. The others do not understand they
have no right Approach me. You have decided that I'm your thing and it's all
. You have time and love to
catch back. Your
first exhibition was
a pleasant party..., you have shows in your blood, and even
if your hair regrowth fastely,
you are not perfect yet, but already so Superior. I will never leave
you. You belong to me. I know you, I understand, you're right, you have chosen, I
love you, my daughter…
