"Nyytti" SA Ch Adamant's Rumours No More has won her 6. CC in South Africa! Congratulations to Camille and Charmaine!!

Great news from working side!
Adamant's Wild And Free has been in two field trial tests and gained 2. and 3 prizes!! Well done all concerned!!

Tracking Champion Adamant's Be My Dream has visited Norway and now she is Finnish and Norwegian Tracking champion!! Huge congratulations!!

23-24.8.08 it was held traditional Hämeenlinna International all breed show,,one of my favourite shows as the grass there is simply super!

Our team had a lovely day again, as all 5 we entered did fine, even if youngster wildsters were a bit too wild;-)
To cut it all short, Sophie took one more BOB and honourable BIG-4 placement in Group, "Wiljami" Adamant's Take it Easy was in his 4. official show and took his 3. CC and CACIB and BOS! and "Fairy" Adamant's So Far So Good was 2. best bitch, took CC and Sophie's CACIB will be later turned by FCI to Fairy, as Sophie has certainly 'enough' CACIBs already. The other one of wild sisters, 'Bella' Adamant's Perfect Look, behaved enough to get excellent placement in best bitch, as she was 3. with Reserv CC, the wildest one, 'Unelma' Adamant's Perfect Dolly took exc3 and we did not dare to take her in breedersclass because her running batteries were overloaded, no one else could have run of that speed...she perhaps needs a 10 kilometer walk or so before show ring, to be settled!
Lots of thanks for everyone who helped with showing and all!!

So we took 'Bella' and Mira could handle her so well, that her legs were mainly well on ground, and she did not fly, so we were extremely happy when Mr Bodegård from Sweden called us to honourable BIS-4 placement with this young team full of energy!!!

Much more pics to come later when I get time!

Weekend 15-17.8.08

Success just continued raining on our team this weekend too! 'Nina' Adamant's Show Me Heaven showed she is not just an excellent hunting dog, but a beauty, too! She went to Slovakian Club Show and took Junior CAC and was BIS-2 junior under Marjo Jaakkola, Finland. Congratulations to owner Miloslava Siskova!!
On Saturday 'Vellu' Adamant's ivor Novello went to Kouvola show and went BOB under Leila Kärkäs, Finland, congratulations! Same day I was judging in Lapua,where ESS were judged by Elena Ruskovaara, Finland. 'Eku' Adamant's Take Your Dream was showing happily there too and took yet again CC and was also BOS! What a week to young Eku, 3 CCs and BOB and 2xBOS! And then in Heinola all breed show was entered also one 'ace' of our team...and also this one cleaned the table and went BOB, CC and finally BIG-4. This ace is called 'Fairy' Adamant's So Far So Good, just one year old girl who is looking superb and doing great now in show ring!!! Breed judge was spaniel specialist from Norway, Svein Helgesen and Group judge Leila Kärkäs, Finland. Congratulations to happy owner Nina and huge thanks to all talent Adamant ESS owners, you are doing such a lovely job all around with your Springers, I am really proud of you all!!!

Weekend 9-10.8.08

On Saturday we heard good news from Vesilahti Group show, as 'Eku' Adamant's Take Your Dream went there BOB and took one more CC to his credit! Judge was Merja Järnstedt, Finland. Next day I was driving with Sophie Adamant's Let Me See to Saarijärvi all breed national show. 'Eku' had also travelled there, and won males and took CC and BOS!! Well done Emma with Eku! Sophie won bitches and took her 21. Best of Breed win. Judge was Ritva Raita, Finland. Group was judged by Leni Finne, Finland, and Sophie took her 7. Group win!!! BIS judge was Petru Muntean from Romania, and also he liked Sophie really much and Sophie took honourable BEST IN SHOW- 2 placement!!!

What an ADAMANT weekend to our team!!!!

Great Kuopio 3 International all breed show weekend was a real highlight weekend of Finnish summer shows. Huge entries 3500-4000 in each show, international judging panels and most of the time lovely weather, lots of success, lovely cottage to share with good friends..what more you can ask from a dog show weekend! It was all such fun that you dont mind if it on the other hand is quite a hard job to do!

First day morning was a bad one, as it was heavy rain and the show ground was loaded with mud and hard to get things and dogs dry to the ringside. Henric Fryckstrand, Sweden, judged ESS and we had a super day, as we had 4 best bitches and BOB and BOS, BOB puppy and BOB breedersclass! BOB, CACIB and later BIG-4 went to 'Zeta' Adamant's Lucky Strike, and sister 'Sophie' Adamant's Let Me See went BOS, CACIB. It was quite interesting to try to get them running in order in BOB as Sophie had best days of her season. Res CACIB and CC went to 2. best bitch 'Lady' Adamant's Take This Dance, Sophie's sister Sawanne was 3. best bitch and nearly 11 years old veteran Tessu Adamant's Damask Rose went BB-4, res CC and was shortcut into finalists from huge amount of BOB veterans later in BIS!!!
'Ilona' Adamant's Birthday Party went BOB puppy and our breedersclass BOB as well.

Next day ESS were judged by Per Iversen, Norway. We had another super day. 'Zeta' Adamant's Lucky Strike, who had day before showed his movements as well as he ever can, was now moving without enthustiasm and got well earned note of that from the judge, but he did well despite of that as he was 3. best male with res CACIB though! Sisters 'Sophie' 'Adamant's Let Me See and 'Sawanne' Adamant's La Dolce Vita changed there places now in open class and Sawanne won and was Best Bitch with CACIB and Sophie was 2. best bitch with res CACIB. 'Lady' Adamant's Take This Dance won another CC and was 3. best bitch and the young bounching girl 'Bella' Adamant's Perfect Look (9 months), who needs a lots more ring training to be settled down, got super critiques each day and won junior class with excellent each day and on Saturday she was despite of all that lot bounching 4. best bitch and won res CC.
Ilona Adamant's Birthday Party was again BOB puppy with a lovely critique. Adamant's breedersclass was BOB again, we did not show our group in finals on Saturday and on Sunday.

On Sunday it was a last minute judge change because of illness on the flight. Breed specialist Stephanie Rickard of 'Wongan' fame was changed to George Schogol from Georgia. Result lists were anyway very identical with those two first days when well known Nordic gun dog specialists were judging, and placement changes were easy to understand when looking how did different dogs give the best out of them or not. 'Zeta' Adamant's Lucky Strike was now on his top showing mood and was giving all the best out of him even if some extra happiness jumps in the end on the critical moments in competition of best male. He won despite of those jumps and went to win Best of Breed later with CACIB again and the sister Sawanne Adamant's La Dolce Vita was BOS and took again bitch CACIB. Sophie was 2. best bitch with res CACIB and 'Lady' Adamant's Take This Dance took again CC!!! and was 3. best bitch. 'Ilona' Adamant's Birthday Party was BOS puppy and we had again BOB breedersclass.
'Zeta', Adamant's Lucky Strike was shortlisted in 6 best finalists in Group 8 under well known judge from USA, Douglas Johnson
On Sunday it was also held one more dog show in Finland, in Helsinki and 'Vellu' Adamant's Ivor Novello went BOB there under Hannele Jokisilta.

And last but not least new. 'Wiljami' Adamant's Take It Easy participated hunting ability test and passed easily! Congratulations to owners!! so now after being shown only 3 times and once participated in huntingability, he only needs one CC after 2 year birthday to get Fin Ch title...why to bother how to catch your dreams difficult way when you can take it all easily!!! Weekend to remember, thank you every one who made it possible and huge congratulations and thanks to all Adamant EES owners who has successes!!

'Sophie', who is perhaps not in her best form right now with the season time + after puppies, managed to catch the best critique of all the team though:
"A super bitch, lovely type and very sound and typical mover. Lovely head and expression. Excellent body, topline and tailset. Very well presented. A very typical English Springer Spaniel" Per Iversen, Norway

"Sophie" Adamant's Let Me See continues her winning ways so quickly after her litter. She has been shown in Finland now 4 times after her puppies, in two weekends in 3 International shows + one national all breed show, results have been magnificent as she has won every time Best of Breed and has also been placed in Group as BIG-2, BIG-3 and BIG-4!!! Now she visited Raisio all breed show on Saturday 26.7.08 and went to win BOB and BIG-2 under Rony Doedijins from Netherlands and then on Sunday Jos Cyupers from Belgium, who judged in Pori International all breeds, gave her also BOB and yet BIG-3!!! Sophie had not ever before been in these judge's ring, so the long list of judges who have liked her just gets bigger. Now Sophie has alltogether 20 Best of Breed wins and 12 x CACIBs, and is only 2 years old. Also 'Bella' Adamant's Perfect Look did really well on her official debut show, as she went on Saturday to win BB-4 placement with res CC, she was not in Pori show. Congratulations to owner!!

More updates when we get time and energy, the weekend was realllly hot! and preparing the team to next 'tournament'.

WE NOW HAVE PUPPIES!!!
Windy aka Adamant's World premiere delivered 27.7.08 9 boys and 3 girls, all doing fine! Sire is Gb Sh Ch Mompesson Royal Destiny, who has been Top ESS and Top Stud in UK in 3 years.

Weekend 18-21.7.08

While we were on holiday and i was judging one day in Tarto (Estonia) it was held an international all breed show in Finland in Ylivieska. 'Sawanne' Adamant's La Dolce Vita did a great job even if she was in her summer bikinis, and went to win BOB, CACIB and BIG-4!!! Huge congrats to Sawanne's owner Tuija!!
'Sawanne's brother 'Zeta' Adamant's Lucky Strike was 2. best male with CC and res CACIB and now he only needs hunting test for Fin & S (u)Ch title!! Congratulations to Tiina!!
The boys Zeta Adamant's Lucky Strike and Henry Adamant's take your Hopes now have very promising puppies here and there, and we can not wait to see when they soon appear in to show rings!!

Weekend 12-13.7.08

I was judging two days in north in rainy wet weather, but lovely show news did keep coming as text messages and I managed to see myself the lovely happily showing veteran Adamant's Damask Rose, soon 11 years, running in top competition to honourable BIS-3 veteran placement in Oulu International All Breed show, BIS veteran judge was Svein Helgesen, Norway. Huge congratulations to family Heikkuri and also for the next days super results in breed ring as your young 'Lady' Adamant's Take This Dance was best bitch and BOS winning her 2. CC and the oldie Adamant's Damask Rose was 2. best bitch with Res CC!! Judge was Michael Camac from Australia. Also Ladys brother Adamant's Take Your Dream did well and was 4. best male first day, unfortunately not entered to 2. day..

Young lovely 'Fairy', who has arrived back from WW show where she took the lovely 2. best Junior bitch placement out of 24, did show her abilities as a show dog also here this weekend, in a very good competition of nice bitch line up, and both days she won all the bitches and took 2 x CC and 2 x BOS!!! Judges were Kirsi Nieminen in Lammi Group Show and Merja Järnstedt in Karjaa All breed Show. Way to go Nina with Fairy!!

In Lammi Group shows puppy class 'Unelma' Adamant's Perfect Dolly took BOB puppy award with a super critique from judge Raija Tammelin. Well done to everyone, so lovely just to get all these great news when you yourselves do the job in the ring so well!!

We would be happy to get pics taken of our success 'trio': Adamant's So Far So Good, Adamant's Lucky Strike, Adamant's Let Me See. Especially we would love to get pics of So Far So Good, as we hardly have any, and then it would be lovely to get the pics taken of Sophie after CC win sitting in my lap when waiting res CC competition is over.

What a wonderful trip we had with my breeder colleague friend Jaana in Sweden, despite of some 'minor troubles' here and there. Lots of thanks for nice company; without Jaana I think I had propably lost me myself and everything I had, in Sweden. First night from harbour to the hotel we were both lost in the middle of nowhere, but after that things turned to go better.
I was so close to leave 'Sophie' Adamant's Let Me See home, as her coat was at it's worst point last week..thankfully a couple of breeder colleagues 'voted' her to be taken with! We travelled then to Sweden to take part of two great shows, Circuit SSRK show and World Winner Show. Sophie's brother 'Zeta' Adamant's Lucky Strike had been visiting us since his past weekend, when he took the lovely BOB, BIG, and BIS win in Jurva Group show under Marjo Jaakkola. I had since that bathed him daily, used my fingers daily to get the sunburnt coat out (he is living and running with horses and enjoying his life as a beloved pet), and trained him to understand what does the 'show dog' mean in its all details. So, we were standing daily in front of the mirror and running keeping contact with each other daily; he is a clever boy and learned all of this in short time, and was certainly a lovely dog to handle then in both shows, and he did keep contact with me and carried himself best possible way, happy and proud of himself.The results were then super: first day he won CC under breed specialist Mr Gareth Lawler, UK, Roqfolly ESS,and he was the other one of two finalists when it was considered who will be the best male. Best Male win went to a champion form Norway, Westaway Into The Mystic, owned by Westaway kennel. Next day in World Winner Show Zeta was showing also great and took reserv CC!! He was shown in big open class, where 9 dogs took 'excellent' quality. Zeta and Barecho Zimply Zuper (later WW-08)were very quickly picked up into this class finalists and then after much more thinking and walking around the rest 7 'excellent' quality males the judge then picked up the rest 2 finalists. ( Luckily the other one of them was the other Finnish dog entered in this class, so then both Finnish males were placed in this big class The little team of Finnish bred/owned ESS actually did very well in all these weekend's three shows.) It took a while before judge decided which one the two first picked will win and it was the Swedish bred and Norwegian owned Barecho Zimply Zuper and Zeta went to honourable 2. place and later he won even Res CC!!
Judge was world famous Rainer Vuorinen, Finland.

And what about Sophie then. My all concentration had been on Zeta and and how does he show, so I somehow forgot (!) that also Sophie would be shown... Never mind, on the very last minute we did reach the ring though, even if the coat was not then brushed or anything. Sophie was in huge open class with 33 entries and somehow despite of her bad handler with no concentration she managed to pick up honourable 3. place after two champions, from which the winner was Sophie's half sister made of same semen bottle that I imported year 2005! Then the real excitement really begun, when I understood immediately that she will be in CC competition later. After bitch classes ring steward announced that they will take a break till the males are all done. So I watched concentrated then the male finals...till the point when Finnish ESS people begun to shout me again that GOOO to CC competition it has started already!! So..we were in ring late again....after all self made mess and actually not having even then brushed Sophie, I somehow felt myself finally very well concentrated and peacefull to show Sophie and when the competition was quite long and included lot of running, Sophie seemed to run the better, the better the Finnish public was clapping and shouting....so there was no limits of my happiness when Sophie, the mother of 11 week old puppies, won her last Swedish CC in this great show and she took her SWEDISH SHOW CHAMPION TITLE in most honourable show!!! It was entered some 66 bitches, which were not yet champions and so they were able to compete of CC, so that made the win even more great
In Sweden it is allowed to show bitch 75 days after delivery of puppies, Sophies puppies were on that day 77 days old, so it was nearly quickest possible Swedish CC after puppies!! This CC was number 30!!! to Sophie's credit, it is a clear breed record in Finland. Our L litter has now won 44 CC s alltogether, story will continue..and it is now 70 CC s alltogethet won by the progeny, that has arrived from the same semen bottle of Sh CH Mompesson Royal Destiny.
L litter's dam 'Saara' Adamant's Summer Fantasy's progeny has so far won 65 CC s!

'Fairy' Adamant's So Far So Good (by the way, also she is Adamant's Summer Fantasy child like both Zeta and Sophie are!) did a fantastic job with her owner Nina Waldvogel in Junior class; among 24 beautiful juniorbitches she reached the honourable 2. place with excellent, in top competition!!! Laurent Pichard from Schwitzerland judged the junior classes. Really well done, huge congratulations!!!
Sophie was also shown in Saturday's show and took 'excellent' under breed specialist Nicola Calvert, but was not placed in open class (around 30 entries there). So she still keeps the tract and has been every time when shown, given an 'excellent' quality prize, of which we are proud of

'Ilona' Adamant's Birthday Party was shwon in Mikkeli and she was BOS puppy.Also Adamant's Perfect Edition took honourprize and was 4. in bitch puppyclass. Congratulations!

At weekend 28-29.6.08 Adamant's ESS had a great weekend winning BOB, BOS, 3 x CC, BIG, Best in Show and Best in Show-2 veteran! Zeta', sparely shown Adamant's Lucky Strike was on the way to south with me and we dropped in a group show on the way. It was really worth of dropping there, as Zeta won CC, BOB, BIG, BIS!!! Judge was Marjo Jaakkola. This was good training to the world show, as I had only once shown Zeta myself before. I got text messages to the show from other group show, Haukipudas, that 'Lady' Adamant's Take This Dance and her brother Adamant's Take Your Dream had both won their first CCs! Lady was also BOS to his father 'Pablo' Rindi's Pablo Picasso. The old veteran lady, Tessu aka Adamant's Damask Rose continued her winning ways as veteran and was BIS-2 veteran! Alos puppy Adamant's Perfect Edition did well as she was BOB puppy. Congratulations to all!

'Sophie' Adamant's Let Me see pictured 7 weeks after her litter was born.

'Wiljami' Adamant's Take It Easy and his mum 'Windy' Adamant's World Premiere visited us at Midsummer time.
We took pics of both, Windy pics you can see on 'Puppies' page. It is now 3 weeks 4 days since Windy was inseminated with 'Jez' Mompesson Royal destiny semen, and she is definitely pregnant and we expect a normal sized litter.

At Midsummer time there has been an International All Breed Show in the north, in Rovaniemi. 'Tessu' Adamant's Damask Rose, 11 years in August, seems to be in her best age now, and she was 3. best bitch, took res CC and went to hounourable 2. Best Veteran In Show placement!! Huge congratulations to family Heikkuri, who owns her.

We wish all the best for our puppies sired by Henry Adamant's Take Your Hopes and out of our Sophie Adamant's Let Me See. They have nearly all already left for their new homes, and as "Gloria" Adamant's Gloria Swanson reminds too much the mother Sophie and some other favourites of mine from the past, she has not been for sale. Wishing everyone a lovely Midsummer time!

14-15.6.08 was the weekend I and Sophie (Adamant's Let Me See) had been waiting for. Finally she was able to jump in to packed show car, after long time taking care of her puppies. Lot of hard job had been done through the spring to keep her conditon as good as possible, and she did enjoy all the extra care she got, especially oil massage to coat and muscles. Some friends did get to know the happiness after the final bath (see the pic above) before the show, as seeing her coat shining, muscles in condition and all the Sophie looking so fit and happy.
The feeling to run with her in shows was so good and she seemed to enjoy much of the show atmosphere again. First day she went BOB, CACIB under Marjo Jaakkola in Forssa International show, when her best friend "Henry" Adamant's Take Your Hopes went BOS and took CC and CACIB to his credit. Next day was a rainy one and it was only Sophie who I showed in Kotka All Breed International show, and she went again BOB and took another CACIB, now under Elena Ruskovaara. Now I managed a little better to not let her to go too speedy into big ring, and that worked really well, she took also a lovely placement there in high quality competition and went to BIG-4!!!

Got such lovely pics of our Henry's brother Wiljami aka Adamant's Take it Easy and the mother of the boys 'Windy' aka Adamant's World Premiere sitting in front of midsummer roses..hoping for that there might be some midsummer secrets in Windy's tummy..we will know it soon at midsummer time.

'Tessu' Adamant's Damask Rose soon 11 years, has won her first CC and BOS in Kemi Group show, judge was Markku Santamäki. Tessu won als Best in Show veteran, Congratulations!!!

Above some pics of show wins during the past few weeks, Congratulations to everyone

There is certainly lots to update now....but seems like Sophie's little puppies keep me sitting in the blueroom:-)

The beautiful Sawanne Adamant's La Dolce Vita went to represent our team to Spaniel Club's Annual 2. show, while I was enjoying judging weekend in the most lovely Gotland Island, Visby, in Sweden, in a lovely sunny summer weather.
I got a text message there, that Sawanne has won Best of Breed and finally lovely BIS-3 placement in a hard competition in BIS judged by Arja Koskelo. Breed was judged by breed specialist Jessie Borregaard-Madsen from Denmark and 'Sieger's fame. There were entered also some puppies from us, from Pamela's litter (A Let 'em Talk), and they (Perfect Look, Perfect Feelin' and Perfect Dolly) did well as they took in minor puppies 2, 3, and 4. placements, congratulations to owners!. Weekend later , 17-18.5.08, Pamela Adamant's Let 'em Talk was entered to Joensuu double show weekend. First day she took her last ticket and won Best of Breed too!!! so she took her Finnish Champion title easily after her litter!! Judge was Paula Rekiranta. Next day also sister Sawanne Adamant's La Dolce Vita was entered. But Pamela was showing better than ever and charmed also Annukka Paloheimo, who gave her CACIB and Best of Breed!! Sawanne did well too as she was placed number 3. in best bitch class. Huge congrats to Antti and Tuija for your lovely girls winning ways!!!

There is certainly much more to update from obedience, agility and also from Chech form hunting ability test, but they will come when I find again some time, great results have arrived from these also!!

Under Sawanne's pic the sweet face belongs to one Sophie (A Let Me See) puppy girl 3 weeks!

'Ilona' Adamant's Birthday Party 5,5 months now, has visited us and of course some pics were taken.

All our Finnish owned "magic four" from our L-litter born 12/05 (Mompesson Royal Destiny-Adamant's Summer Fantasy) are now at least CC and CACIB winners (Let Me See, Lucky Strike, La Dolce Vita and Let 'Em Talk).
the 5. puppy, 'Callista' Adamant's Limited Edition, was sold to France and have unfortunately not heard anything from her within a year. Last year this time found the results from Monaco that she had taken reserv CACIB there under Mr Huidobro Corbett and she also won BIS Junior in French International All breed show.
IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT HER we would be more than glad to know news, please contact us!

'Vellu' Adamant's Ivor Novello concentrated this weekend to obedience. He went to Kouvola Obedience test and did really great job there, as he took many many 10 points out of 10 possible, and gained one more Special winner class 1. prize with honour prize and was 2. best dog in whole test, out of 14 Special winner class dogs!!! well done Hanna with Vellu!!!
Our sweet Sophie has been such peacefull, calm, happy and loving mom to her little 6 puppies, pleasure to watch her way to take care of them. She looks now more beautifull than ever before, and so we took a pic of her, see above.

New weekend, new dogs in ring! Last weekend's winners Frida and Vellu have got other hobbies for this weekend, but 'Zeta' and 'Sawanne', sister and her brother went to Vaasa International show, where ESS judge was Kurt Nilsson from Sweden.

Weekends 12-13.4.08 and 19-20.4.08

We have got some nice show results from two past weekends. One week ago in Kajaani Group show Leila Kärkäs was judging 19 ESS and 'Saana' Adamant's Sweet Fantasy got happily her last ticket and was made up Finnish Show Champion! She went also Best of Breed, congratulations to owner Marja Arpiainen!

To Jyväskylä International all breed show 19.4.08 I had only entered our Frida Adamant's Dreams Are Free, because it was possible that our Sophie would deliver her litter that day. But she did not so Frida, who was finally polished after her show break, was packed in to car and we went to the show, where also was 'Vellu' Adamant's Ivor Novello from our team. Day could not have been better, than it was: Both Vellu and Frida went all the way in dogs/bitches and then they were left when BOB was chosen, and Frida took her # 55 BEST OF BREED!. Vellu took his 3. CACIB and now he should pack to travel in some other country to try the Int CH qualifying CACIB. So far Vellu is Fin CH, Fin & Est Obedience CH..quite a boy!
Judge here was spaniel specialist Kari Linde-Klerholm from Sweden and ESS entry was 44.
br> Same day it was held another, smaller Group show in Loviisa, Leila Kärkäs was judging 13 ESS. 'Fairy' Adamant's So Far So Good did a good job there as she was 2. best bitch with res CC. Both CC s went to Adamant's Wind of Change progeny.

'Alma' Adamant's Birthday Wishes has made her debut in show ring at 4,5 months age. She was shown in SSRK Spaniel & Retriever Show in Uddevalla under Hilda Parkinson and she won Best of Breed puppy! Congratulations!

The new Blue Dog & Puppy room has now got some flowers, who also seem to feel comfortable there.

On Easter Monday it was the last show for 'Sophie' before her little break from shows because of becoming litter. It was Ruovesi Group show, out of doors and it was a real winter day. Thankfully I had purchased a furry jacket to Sophie, who kept well warm in that and went to win her 16. Best of Breed win! There was a judge change of which it was heard only on show place, so it was Kirsti Louhi judging ESS. Also our boy 'Henry' Adamant's Take Your Hopes did well, winning his 8. CC and BOS!

*lady' Adamant's Perfect Feelin' did her show debut in unofficial Match Show, and enjoyed her day out all the way winning Best in Show, her dad 'Terry' was BIS-3. Congratulations to kennel Wildomar's!

'Sophie' Adamant's Let Me See is pregnant, I have found 'about' 5 little 'balls' in her tummy.
She is now searching extra food everywhere and steals everything around..if nothing else is found she steals tomatoketchup..and yesterday when finally nothing else was found she went to steal the mousetrap and yes she do can catch the little piece of cheese from there without hurting her noble nose..and after stealing job her face looks allways as innocent as in pic above!
