After 12 years having no dog in my house I started to think about the idea to break my owth that I will never ever have a dog again. When my Eron left it caused such a pain to me that for years I couldn’t compesate the pain with all memories of the moments we spent together. He was a croosbreed, very strong character. He agreed that he will do things I expect from him in order to pass exams of obediance, defence and tracking. We have deesagreed regarding cats for all of his life. He was chasing them and once he almost got killed running after one. After several surgeries he recoverd completely thanks to high profesional vets at the clinic. We enjoyed eachother’s company so much.

I couldn’t miss that part of my life any more so I started the discussion with my husband Walter about having a dog. After several iterations I persuaded him to agree. So what breed would it be? My first choice was a basset hound to be honest. Walter was against since he goes to mountines very often he would like to take a dog with him. I gave up to basset hound, searching for a breed that would fit needs for both of us.
I have noticed Airedale Terrier but it looked to me so exotic that my first thougt was that I can not buy it in Slovenia for sure. What I liked most was the impression that Airedale looks like a horse. I love horses. I love the elegance, selfesteem, the way they communicate with other animals and people. I have been riding them for years. So, I started my search for an Airedale. I foud a litter in Slovenia. To me it was like a mirracle. I went there to see the puppies and decided emidiately to take one.
I had no idea how to choose a puppy so I have decided for a female who came to me first. She was looking me almost saying that we could be a good match. Besides her official name we call her Joy.
Joy changed our lives dramatically. We moved to our new house few months before getting her. So we decided that we will build a house for her in the garden. In the meantime she will stay in our house. That was a decision. We put some limits where she could move; no entereng bedroom, no sleeping on a couch, no peeing on new stone floor, …
We lauhg every time we remember these days. She has never got a house in the garden because after couple of days I couldn’t imagine staying in the house without having here somewhere near. For the right to sleep on a couch she needed aproximately one month, entering the bedroom 3 months and I can not recall when she started to sleep in our bed-it just happened.

And two years later Nala joined us. Winny wasn’t planned.

Without Joy, Nala and Winny our life wouldn’t be the same.
