The week after Crufts - actually 2 days after I arrived home - Toni & Steven Mapes arrived from the States. Toni & Steven of Toven Shelties :-) Basically from when they arrived until they left we had a tight schedule and I hope I didnt wear them down too much :o)
I was lucky to borrow my mum's car which seats 4 - but only 1 dog at a time :o)
On the Wednesday they arrived we went out to Kirsten & Gert's for lunch - then in the evening we travelled to Skælskør where we have agility. It was DAL-competition so a lot of Monty/Tazz pups were there - either competing or just watching ( not quietly I hasten to add ).
Thursday morning we drove up to Copenhagen and saw Amalienborg ( & changing of the guard ), Marmorkirken, Langelinie, The Little Mermaid &The Round Tower. In the evening we went to visit Kennel Shenaja and had dinner with them.
Steven spent Saturday with Gert & Kristian, while Toni and I drove to Odense to see the sheltie show.There were a couple of Carson pups, and a Monty pup being shown. We stayed until the boys were judged then drove home for a rest/nap :o) Saturday evening we drove to Reersø where we ate at the local Inn. It is well known for their specialty ... Eel. Well the others had eel - and I didn't.
Sunday morning we drove to Sweden to Malmø International where I was showing Luna & Kid ( who is a Monty son living in Sweden ). Both did well - and after shopping in a Swedish supermarket we were homeward bound. In the evening we drove out to Bent & Marianne & Pia's to have dinner & celebrate Monty's 11th Birthday :o)
Monday we drove up to Waves in Greve to do a bit of shopping - and then in the evening we drove to Kirsten & Gert's for a goodbye dinner. Monday suddenly became a bit chaotic as just before we were due to leave to the vets for Carson's flight papers, somebody rang my door and asked if I had lost a rottweiler. A couple of screws, yes, but no a rottweiler ;o) Anyhow as I live right up agains a busy road I couldnt leave it out there loose. I went across the road where there are 15 houses but nobody knew the dog. I called it into the police and left the dog in my washroom. Nobody claimed the dog with the police - and as my house was chaotic enough with 3 bitches in season - howling boys - I asked them to come and pick her up which the duly did.
Tuesday morning it was off to the airport with Toni & Steven & Carson who was going home to Canada. We stopped at the beach at Solrød on the way there so Carson was well tired for his flight home.
I don't think I am alone in saying thank you to Donna, Steven & Toni for letting Carson visit us. He has given us all we hoped for - and more :o)
