Today is no ordinary day! Today is 9th birthday of my dearest Oonah! She is the love of my life and the reason for why I find salukis irresistible. I am so incredibly grateful to dearest Sven Elen and Linda Dorissen for letting me share my life with Oonah. Happy birthday dearest Oonah, I hope that we will get the opportunity to share many more birthdays together. Happy birthday also to Oonah’s all siblings from Amal Hayati’s O-litter.

Today is no ordinary day, today is my soulmate Oonah’s 7th birthday! C.I.B., DK CH, SE CH, ESH 2018, KBH W 2017, ST W 2017, CPH JW 2016 Amal Hayati Oonah Nadira Al Jameelah No words can express how much I love this girl and how happy I am that I am hers! I hope that our journey will continue for many years to come. For you who don’t know how our journey started here is a short story of it: I first started to look for a saluki in spring 2015 but could not find what I was looking for…

Or maybe not. 🙂 When I go around and think of the best day for meeting the boy the only thing Oonah thinks of is relaxing…. But I do hope that we will have some happy news for you who are waiting before Friday.

Apparently I am so longing for this lady to get in heat that I am now dreaming of it…. We were visiting parents of a friend. In the real life, these people have the cleanest house I have ever seen. We were enjoying some coffee in the sun on their veranda when I for some reason wanted to find Oonah. I went inside the house and saw that she was sleeping on their white sofa. She woke up when I entered the room and came to me leaving a huge spot of blood on their expensive sofa. I got so…

I am not really sure which is worse. Waiting for heat to start, waiting for the first signs of pregnancy or waiting for birth to start. There is only one thing that it sure and that is that there is a lot of waiting in the process of making a litter. Oonah is still not showing any signs of heat being there but she is very interested in leaving the trace after herself almost everywhere on our walks. This makes me hopeful as it usually is the first sign of the approaching heat.
