    This is the first JR we have ever had , our last dofpg was a Doberman who sadly died at nearly 10 a few years ago. When I was younger I used to have/ show bloodhounds, westies and sealyham terriers, we also had an otter hound.

    She is a total distraction from the hum- drum of life lol

    Edit.. She was supposed to be a jacawawa, but she is def def more or less a jack

    Some might remember that I have been mentioning that Germany and Deutsche bank in particular was going to be problematic and here is more proof.

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-10-09/why-are-imf-un-bis-and-citi-all-warning-economic-crisis-could-be-imminent
    But something else happened just yesterday that is also extremely concerning. Just a couple of weeks ago, I warned that the biggest bank in Germany, Deutsche Bank, was on the verge of massive trouble. Well, on Wednesday the bank announced a loss of more than 6 billion dollars for the third quarter of 2015…

    Deutsche Bank’s new boss John Cryan set about cleaning up Germany’s biggest bank on Thursday, revealing a record pre-tax loss of 6 billion euros ($6.7 billion) in the third quarter and warning investors of a possible dividend cut.

    Write downs, impairments and litigation costs all contributed to the loss, the bank said.

    Cryan became chief executive in July with a promise to cut costs. The Briton is accelerating plans to shed assets and exit countries to shrink the bank and is preparing to ax about 23,000 jobs, or a quarter of the bank’s staff, sources told Reuters last month.

    and

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-10-09/bank-england-tells-british-banks-reveal-their-full-exposure-glencore-and-other-commo

    Glencore is at a very high risk of collapsing and is being mentioned in terms of Lehmans moment in terms of seriousness. The risks are within trading departments particularly commodity contracts which might be unfulfilled, which would trigger forced write downs of losses as they could not be offset.

    And in Credit default losses being forced, and you could see Deutsche bank driven closer to big losses. Losses that would turn Germany into Greece.
