At home, getting more and more envious of most of my friends being away at shows..
BUT we follow the results, of course! Today the beautiful Mac daughter Typografen's Neep Neep became Swedish Champion!
Halfsister Norw Ch Taildown's Jellybaby got the res. CC! (Both blue daughters of my Mac)
Moby's daughter Goonies Good Golly Miss Molly got the CC on Sunday, and another of his daughters, Quarry's Utopia won a res CACIB.

Terrorist bombing in Oslo with at least 8 casualties devastated the Norwegian capitol on Friday at 3.30 pm. We thought that this was the worst happening ever in Norwegian history after WW II.
A couple of hours later when started getting info about some people starting to shoot people at a youth camp about an hour drivefrom Oslo. Now two days later we know that the horrific death toll was 68 kids and youth (total no. not ready untill later in the following week).
It seems like it is the same madman that is responsible for both, and the whole Norway has been in shock ever since. He was apprehended without any drama (he was out of bullets anyway), and is now in custody...
All our thoughts must go to all the people directly touched by this grueful event. A black day in Norways history, and it will never be forgotten.
Saturday evening in Oslo city center

The second weekend we were at two shows on the west coast of Sweden (Tvååker).
Moxy doing well on both weekends - even winning the swedish CC on the last show!
And I'm very proud of the Mac's gorgeous "puppies" from kennel Typografen who did so well in Sweden.
Mac trying to keep up!

Ascension Day - but for me just a nice day off from work. Doing a little work in the garden, washing the blankets and clothes that got dirty and wet last weekend..
Trondheim Hundefestival (2 national shows, 500 km from here) last weekend was great fun. First weekend out with the caravan this year. Went there alone, but got company at the showground, and for the drive home.
Moby was beautiful as always - 2. Best In Show veteran both Saturday and Sunday.
Moxy was just being her cute self - CC and BOB on Saturday, res.CC and 2. best bitch on Sunday.

Norway's Constitution Day (National Day)!
I've never been celebrating that too much, and not planning to go downtown to do so this year either. But the picture shows the Children's parade, most wearing national custumes, bringing along norwegian flags and marching through the city center and passing by the Norwegian castle (center of the picture) waiving to the royal family standing on the balcony - as they do every year.
Basically all schools in Oslo are represented, and many of them also with their own marching band..
A quiet day at home - planning the first caravantrip in just two weeks time instead. Maybe groom a beardie or something...

Moxy's BIRTHDAY!! Wow - time flies when we are having fun!
She is for a fact the most funloving happy and charming little thing - can't say enough positive things about getting to know her this past 10 months.
Looking forward to see what the future brings with these snoring and farting little beings around..
Showresults this weekend that I'm really, really happy for. Groupwinner with little Elmer boy! BOB and BOS are Taildown's - and siblings as well - great fun!
Moxy winning the res. CAC and Penny the CAC... Couldn't ask for more, really

Visited Jorunn & Jan (Artic Wool beardies) to take a closer look at Moby's grandchildren. They had a lovely beardielitter, 4 weeks old. Beautiful puppies, all slates - and just in that supercuddly age as well. Great fun!

Monicas funeral was yesterday - and even as sad occation that was, meeting good friends and family made it all a warm and good farewell to Monica.
Thank you to all for thoughts, cards, flowers and support in this time.
Now it's the first day in the rest of our lives!
Monica wouldn't have wanted us to stop what we are doing - so it's just to shift focus to all the positive things, trips and shows that are coming up soon.
See you soon!

This has been the worst week in my life due to my beloved mum died the 20th. Very little activity for the dogs and/or for the breedclub.
But I hope we'll soon be back in the loop - A different team, but hopefully just as strong.

Entered four dogs for NKK International show in Hordaland (West Coast of Norway).
Pita (Taildown's Jitterbug) will come along for the ride, and I couldn't decide which of the boys to enter - so I entered both.. And of course Moxy - the odd one.
