Lulu & Minnie

First half of June we travelled without the doggos! First we spent a week in South-France and Italy! After being home 2 days, and doing some training + cuddling with the doggos Minnie has a poodle friend ..I left to Swizerland for a week.  Reunited: And back in agility! In the end of month we did some trips with the dogs! Minnie went first time to the sea and learned how to swim! In the hotel Back home!

In May we visited again lot of different places with Minne. For example, supermarket. And we walked quite a lot to the kindergarten and back to bring or take Pärli. Also she got lot of attention from the other kids in there :) We had multiple birthdays and the doggos were very happy about it :) Minne lost her last milk tooth the day before her 6 month birthday. I started to worriy already because the big tooth was becoming quite big.  The we went to Saaremaa. It was first trip with ferry for Minne. We enjoyed the ride!
