A quick internet search showed that Robin has temper problems, mainly excessive shyness towards strangers. So human health problems aside, we decided not to inquire about him. Same search also showed that Swiss breeders apparently cross Tervs, Malis and Groenis indiscriminately - something that as far as I know is not permitted in other countries.

So it's back to plan B: Wait and get a puppy. I have long ago decided on the breeders. If we decide for a Tervueren it'll most likely be from my friends at Kennel Susmik in Denmark (where I got Aqui from). If we decide for a Groenendal, I'll be looking into Kennel Nightrunners in Sweden.

*drum-roll* yesterday I sent out my first manuscript ever. I'm rather nervous about it. C tells me it's just an essay (short story) and not a big deal when/if I get rejected. He's right. A rejection really won't bother me at all. Years of workshop and Epilogue has transformed my skin into boot leather, however, the mere thought that I could have sent something out that is way below standard does bother me. Again, I'm pretty confident that it isn't, otherwise I wouldn't have sent it. So logically I shouldn't be feeling the way I do, but I do. *bah*
