Dear Friends,
Lithuanians have a legend: animals speak in human voice at the late Christmas Evening. People can’t hear what they talk, but we are sure our dogs will say a lot of good things about us and for us – their owners.
We wish You all the best at that miracle time.
We wish You Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Lina, Dovile and Renaldas
