After
the loss of my first Irish setter
Rosie I didn't think I could find
that kind of a personality again. I was happy that I was wrong.
Melissa was also very much a
personality. Melissa
came to us as a little baby, aged
7,5 weeks. She was the smallest
girl in the litter, but the one
that was noticed first of all.
And her whole life she was the one that liked
to be the center of attention! She talked a lot, with
a high voice... She was really a spoilt
girl, I could never say no to this
one!!
Melissa
liked to show, especially to run in the ring! Her first CC came when
she was 15 months old and the next two didn't take long to get. She got
several CACIBs, BOBs, BOSs and also Groupwins and -placings during her
career. Her last show was aged almost 11, she was BOB-veteran and
BIS-veteran at a group-show for FCI groups 7,8 and 9. A happy memory.
Now I
try to only remember the good times we had. And not to think about how
much I miss her. Melissa was my very best friend, my support and
comfort for more than 12 years.
