This year is almost over. Time to look back on 2015, a year which we have had much sorrow. 8 doggy friends we've lost, including two hammies. Mango his son Sputnick and our great friend Faith. We walked a lot and had a lot of adventures. Nearly three weeks we were in Wales. Mango was at Crufts for Discover Dogs, and saw his grandchildren win in the ring. Mango also was once on a show and well in England. The year has passed very quickly . Enjoy Mango's year.

This was an overview of Mango's year. I surely have forgotten something. It was a year with some hard moments the loss of eight doggy friends but also many beautiful moments. In the agenda for 2016 are already pretty things so follow Mango also in 2016 on this blog.
So we came in the last weeks of this year.
We all wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New year.
