In Switzerland.

I get the job in Switzerland. So I went. I was always hoping that one day I would work with horses or dogs. And it finally happened. So now I was sitting in a car with my employer's father in law. He was buying and importing dogs like German's Sheppard, Dobermans, Boxer and selling them there for a lot more.
Trip was exhausting. We spend two days in a car. But we finally got there.

Stables were located on a huge property surrounded by forest. Attached to a stable was office and a small dinner.
As we entered the stables we were welcomed by a bunch of barking Labrador Retrievers. Martin (my employer) was also a dog breeder. And I learn that he had about fifteen females and a one male stud.
In the stables were about twenty horses of different colors, sizes and breeds. My job was to care for these gorgeous horses and beautiful dogs. And help in the diner and feed the exotic birds in huge cages I forgot to mention. So I've had a lot a work to do. Day by day I was feeding animals, cleaning the stalls and dog kennels,brushing and riding horses, worked as a waitress and dish washer in the diner.......

I was happy but by the third month I was also very tired. It was almost December, my birthday was coming up and Christmas too. So with tears in my eyes I said good bye to all horses and dogs, packed my bags and went home. I never regretted that I went to Switzerland. I learned a lot.

My Dogs.

One day I went with my friend Susie to see her horse. She had him at one little farm were besides him were some cows, goats, hens and two dogs. One was an old German Sheppard which was on chain and other dog was Doberman Pinscher in kennel.

Doberman was in very bad condition. He was literally a skeleton. His bones were swollen, his coat were gray instead of black and on some places like his ears there was no coat at all. Only skin.

When we came both dogs were exited, they barked but they seemed friendly.
I went to a kennel were was a Doberman. I could not believe that he is still alive. Farmer brought them some food in a bucket. But it wasn't a dog food. It was food for pigs. He gave them a mixture of leftovers from the table. I asked the farmer if he would sell the dog to me. He said he will give him to me. He agreed that dog can stay there until I find other place to keep him.
From that day on I went there every day bringing some food for both dogs. And when Susie took her horse out on field I took my Don and while we rode he was running and enjoying freedom.

Than I got a job at stables in Switzerland. I found someone who promised to care for a dog while I was away.

My Dogs.

I was crazy about animals especially about dogs and horses.
I used to bring home stray dogs and cats and hide them so my parents wouldn't throw them out. And then I tried to find them a good homes. If I was not successful I persuade my grandfather to keep it. But the thing was that dogs didn't last there too long. There were Gypsy families living close by and they were steeling and eating dogs.
That is why I always wanted to own a dog which would live with me. Since we lived in apartment my parents were against it.

One day my friends and I went to see a dog show. There were all kind of breeds. The one that I liked the most was brown Doberman Pincher. It was affectionate, beautiful, aristocratic and powerful looking animal.
That day I decided to buy a Doberman.
