Hello, I am Nessie.
I was only 8 weeks old on this photo.

I was born on July 3^rd 2004.

My real name is 

Valkyrie Eyes at Heidentor.

 As you may have suggested, my name tells that I’m coming from Russia, from Voronezh to be exact. That’s 576km to the south, away from Moscow.  

I got the forename “Nessie”, because my owners thought that my name was Vanessa.
When they took a closer look at my vaccination card, they noticed the mistake, but didn’t want to give me another name.

In the meantime I am getting accustomed to my new home.
I haven’t broken anything yet. But I am feeling better and better each single day.

After getting used to my new home I completely occupied the garden for myself. 
My owner is too lazy and slow, it takes ages before he cuts the bushes.
That is why I have to take over and cut off the branches.
I try to help whenever I can and bite off everything that is hanging in my way.

A few days ago I had to reduce the acacia tree to a moderate size.
Unfortunately this thing has thorns. So I wounded myself a bit on my muzzle.
At the following excavation works in my garden this wound got infected of course.
That is why we stood here, two days before my next show, with a pimplefaced baby (my owner calls me always baby). Because of the fact that these pimples were only situated at one side of my muzzle, my owner decided to take me to the show.
Well .... we were not so successfully :-|
