My first blog!

Monument to Laika, 1st living thing to orbit the Earth

This blog is about my Large Munsterlanders and stuff we do
- agility, hunting, having fun.

Large Munsterlanders are a breed of versatile hunting dog
(hunt, point, retrieve) that originated in Northwest Germany
in the late 1800's.

Why are dogs such a big part of my life?
(Or - why are dogs not an important part of everybody's life?)

I can only answer for me. I was born on November 3, 1957
at about 5:30 pm (Central Standard Time).
Laika, a stray dog found on the streets of Moscow,
was launched into space that day,
becoming the first living thing to orbit the Earth.
