Dickens Reunion August 25, 2013

Finally, after 4 long years, we set the date for a puppy-reunion. We were thrilled with so many participants and those, who couldn't make it, were very much missed. It was especially terrific to have the families come from so far away - from the south of Germany, which is nevertheless 6 hours drive.

The weather was absolutely perfect as we set out for our walk, and later as we returned to the restaurant "Gruene Stute" where we sat outside and were able to chat and have a bite to eat.

I was so happy that 3 of the oldest "puppies" from our A-litter could be at the reunion. They are already over 13 years of age!

In total, there were 23 Dickens Beardies and with the non-Dickens', the total was well over 27dogs!

Iwould like to say once again how thankful I am for all who came to the reunion. It was so great to see everyone once again and I am ever thankful to God for sending me such great families for my Beardies. I hope, that the you all remain true Dickens' fans for a long, long time and that we are able to meet again soon.

....and let's go!

A meeting of the brotherly sort! Johnny & Jasper from the J-Litter, one and a half years old.

In the meantime, a bit of refreshment was neccessary
