Kaj (born 1954) and I (1955) met each other in December 2001 and moved together about half an year later. We have both been married before and from these marriages we got 4 children: Kaj has Trine & Bjørn, I have Karina and Ditte - all four are grown up and independent now.
Kaj and I have much in common, but one big common interest became/are… The Chows. They fill the best part of our day and are a marked feature of our lifestyle. Our whole home is marked by the fact, that we have many dogs and there must be place for them. That means tile-floors, washing-room, puppy-room, and dog-rooms, built for exactly this breed, that we have lost our hearts to, lots of outdoor space, enormous quantities of towels, brushes, scissors, doggie-shampoos, and leashes.
The shelves are full of show-results, vaccination-papers and pedigrees, while the drawers are full of all kind of copies about dogs/chows. Even the car is chosen so it has enough place for the dogs, when they are to be taken to a show or some place else.
The dog-expenses are bigger than our private expenses due to insurances, vaccinations, shows, dog-food and supplements, blankets, dog-beds, toys, food-bowls, leashes, tit-bits, etc. So one could sure say, that we have got "dog-madness". And we love it!
We got the loveliest Chow-Chows in the world, and ... we got each other ;o) What more could we wish for?

The Chow has many noble qualities,
his heart cannot be taken by storm ,
but once given,
it is yours forever
(Lady Dunbar of Mochrum , "The Chow Chow" 1914)
