Pasha has been dead for a couple years.  We will have two grandchildren of 
him there.  There will definitely be a group picture.  So bring whomever you 
want. Bonbelle never got the credit here in USA she deserved.  Maybe some 
folks will finally take notice as she is genotypically and phenotypically the 
embodiment of the contemporary Comte de Foix linebred dog that is the 
foundation of all good contemporary French stock presently.  The interesting 
thing about Bonbelle is she only got better as she aged.  Only the really 
advanced effects of old age made her movement began to falter, but standing 
still she still was special.  Arlene and Phil say she is better now than when 
I saw her at almost 12.  Cannot wait.

Its been a tough year for many Pyr folks this past year.  Maybe a little good 
news and nostalgia is deserved.
