The crazy trip to Norway

Short version: 3 dog handlers/breeders/crazy people, 5 dogs, bags and stuff for a day at the Norwegian Winner shows – ALL stuffed in my little MINI COOPER! 3 o’clock in the morning, 450 km to go. Britzyk got carsick after 30 minutes, Stefan screamed in fear of imaginary horrors BUT we got there in time dispite the fact that the GPS stopped working so we missed an exit in Oslo. 🙂

It was a really crazy, awesome trip, I don’t remember the last time I laughed so mach and so hard in one day! 😀

Thank you Britzyk and Stefan!! Love ya both!

So, how about some results? =)

		Lava had some really tough competition, a total of 9 cirnechi was entered, all very nice dogs. She got Exc-1 in CH class, and in best bitch competition she won (even though I ran into the big pole in the side of the ring…). So she got the title NORWEGIAN WINNER 2012! And then she also won Best of Breed! Weeiii!!! 😀

In the group we got nothing, except some really nice comments afterwards and a great picture taken by Roger Sjölstad.

But big success for some of my friends in the group, and Ia’s Xolo WON! Big congrats!

After the finals, we cramped into the Cooper again, and hade the funniest ride home ever! Home again just before midnight, felt like we had been gone for several days and couldn’t believe all we experienced in just 20 hours. Crazy is the word!
