September 12, 2006   Dear Elaine, Time passes by very quickly, so that I now finally have to write to you.    Since 4 weeks "your" little puppy Cat Ballou, like Barbara Miketta baptized her, and we still use this name, lives in  our family and I must say, she is a very very nice and amiable dog. She grows very rapidly and now she is about  the shoulder height of our old Icelandic dog Bleikja.  Both are good friends and I have the impression this 15 year old dog is getting younger.   My children love Cat with every fibre  of their heart and she loves to play with them, for example football, catch the ball or who is the most quick one. Futhermore Cat likes to go to swim and she is very imaginative in searching good places for doing this. For example does she jump into the horses watering-place and she feels wonderful by that.    With this e-mail I send you a few pictures of her, so that you can see, she is on the top.    With kind regards         Susanne
