Lulu & Minnie

 As we cannot participate in IPAC this year, then we decided to go to Janakkala Open as our "big event abroad".  It was planned as our last competition in grade 2.  We started our family trip one day earlier to settle in to the camping house at the lake side 15 mins from the competition grounds.  DAY 1 The competition started only in the afternoon, so we spent the first half of the day at the beach: Then it was time to go to the competition, register and get my number Jumping course (B) .

Only one change of the plan, where I did a rear cross instead of planned blind, but all went well and we had another clean run with speed 4.9 ...

 Minnie is perfect little traveller. In the restaurant in Latvia: Lap dog at home: Training session: Lulu has still been doing mantrailing, and still after she can go to interesting walks, for example to see some cows in the city: In July we went to a family photo shooting and got some very nice photos: With my poodle wearing my poodle t-shirt! Saaremaa trip with Minnie: Minnie got also to see some cows! Birthday party!
