Champion of Champions Contest (All Breeds)

The only hound and whippet ever to have won
this prestigious award in Singapore!

Thanks so much to Mr & Mrs Pieterse for sending me
my first whippet, who, by the way, is totally inseparable from me!
(the whines you hear coming from my dog trolley at the dogshow
when I leave to go to the restroom for just 5 minutes are his!)

Love walked into my life the moment I opened his crate at the
airport the day he arrived from Australia in 1999.

Cosmo sleeping on the sofa with his Christmas toy!
I am convinced there is a human being living in this dog.
Cosmo "talks" to me every day, I swear!
(Nevermind if you don't believe me.)
This dog loves me like there is no tomorrow.

I still remember the night I visited the Statuesque website,
saw a photo of 10 month-old Cosmo with his handler,
Mr Russell Little. And I froze.

5 years later today, I look out into my yard and see him standing
there gazing at the mynahs on my gate and that same feeling
comes back to me all over again. He is so beautiful to look at,
but you know something, he is even more beautiful to know and live with...
