In loving memory of...Valinka & Vanessa Desbourse!

These loving friends of Microsoft MVP, Christian Desbourse and his family in Belgium, have now moved on to live with St. Francis up in animal heaven. Valinka was the Desbourse family's first Barzio and she participated in many races in France and Belgium. Vanessa was a Silver shaded persian cat and she participated in many exhibitis in Belgium, France and Germany.

Their other dog, Arani, an Airedale Terrier, doesn't understand why her long time friends have left her alone. So in Februrary 1995...Salene, another white Barzoi, entered their life and again brought sunshine to Arani and the rest of the Desbourse family.
