Boel, Caroline and Cornelia went to Växjö by train. They took Kolian, Cara, Molly and Tolle with them. When they came to Växjö they saw the first snow this winter. Boel were really happy that they took the train and not the car as it was a mess in the traffic.
At the hotel they had a nice evening with Birgitta, Annika, Argenta’s Anastasya “Siri”and “Lillen”.
Friday morning Annelie and “Bella” Argenta’s Brittany met us and we all went to the showground.
Were we met Jens, IngMarie and Utrillo, Zervantes and his new owners Simon and Petra.Of course we had a great time with all our puppyowners and friends around the ring. It was nice to hear that young Eleonor are doing fine and that Roger and Lisbeth after all this years have a Argenta dog.
Late in the afternoon it was great to enter the train to Stockholm. The dogs slept all the way and they have been behaving really good during the trip.
