Susanne Lundberg (Kennel Caudatus) and Boel went to USA for a week.
The purpose of this trip was to have a vaccation. Susanne after having had her second litter out of Ch Argenta’s Qayenne and Boel had to have a short rest from the babyboom in Stockholm.
The beginning and end of this trip was far away from being a relaxing trip.As the plane started from Stockholm 20 min. delayed and as it had to do an emergency landing in Germany, Boel and Susanne missed the connection flight to Washington. But we thought (how silly of us) that we would be priority on the next flight. But that wasn’t the “policy” of the the company we flew with. So the result was two days in Paris at the airport Charles de Gaulle (we had the chance to see some of Paris Thursday afternoon). Friday morning the employee of the company missed to tell us that we were booked at the morning flight to Washington. So Friday afternoon in the line at the gate. Boel and Susanne realized that they had no tickets on the afternoon flight as we were supposed to go on the morning flight. After many discussions (we had plenty of that during the two days in Paris) we could board the plane to Washington. When we arrived we had missed the opportunity to visit with Georgia and Jean kennel Asgard and then drive to the dogshow in Pittsburgh. Poor Linda had to drive the whole way from Pennsylvania, Washington and back to Pennsylvania in one afternoon/evening. A trip of more than 6 hours.
Anyway when we were in USA we had a great time and Susanne are now very close to the black belt in shopping. Hard to believe for people that had been with her shopping before but it is true.
The only thing that wasn’t giving her the black belt was that she didn’t had an extra suitcase with her, this time. On the way back home to Sweden we continued as we started with an extra day on Charles de Gaulle due to a late arrivel in Paris Wednesday morning so that we missed the connection flight to Stockholm. Is there any one that had seen the movie
The Terminal with Tom Hanks? That was how we felt during our three days at the airport.
But here are some photos. |
Our first day at Charles de Gaulle we are still in a good mood.
As we could’nt stay at the airport the whole time so we went in to Paris to do some sightseeing.
We saw Notredame.
Susanne tried to find the Louvren.
We found it
after a long walk. We went in to meet Mona Lisa.
In the evening at the hotel Susanne and Boel were sharing their favourite hobby –
eating pastries.
Saturday morning Linda, Boel and Susanne went to the specialty show in Pittsburgh. The plan from the beginning were to go to the show together with Georgia and Jean so that we would have some more time together.
We were lucky to see Ch Argenta’s Zoe Zezannah winning
Veteran Sweepstakes at the age of 12.
Ch Argenta’s Zoe Zezannah with the judge Leona Mintz, owner Georgia Sabean and Jean Gillen and a proud breeder Boel
We had a great time together with Linda and Bob.
We were playing with the puppies.
Kennel Centara’s DD-litter
One of the pups in the puppy yard
there is a big diffence with cropped ears and docked tail.
we also met Argenta’s Zeck Zentara he is a lovely male

Susanne after some days shopping trying to get everything into her suitcase. Boel didn’t had that problem as she had an extra suitcase.
When unpacking at home giving the gifts to the family Boel found Susanne’s dirty clothes and extra shoes in her suitcase.
At Charles de Gaulle on our way back home. On this photo we still believe that we will get an early plane back to Sweden. We didn’t……..
