CRUFTS 2015!!

Finally - the weekend was here - CRUFTS 2015!!!!

I cannot begin to tell you how much I looked forward to this weekend! Last year I also went there, but having two children aged 2 and 4 years at a dogshow, not to mention one of the worlds BIGGEST dog shows is perhaps not the most fun I´ve had... ;)

So this year I was thrilled to be able to go without my children (yes, I do love them dearly, but they are like two tornadoes on speed sometimes....).

Me and Ada went from Holland to Dunkirk - Dover with the DFDS-ferry, and then up to Birmingham. The drive from Dover felt like the longest drive ever, due to a lot of roadworks along the way. But we finally made it up to the Royal Court Hotel, and prepared for the next day.

Someone (Ada) left a dog in my bed :P :D (Dustin ALWAYS jumps into my bed when we go somewhere - she luvvs me)

Ready to enter Crufts with my slightly small, slightly wrong-colored miniature groenendael ;)

I won´t spend forever going thru all the highlights at Crufts, I will just share some of the photos from the weekend, and then I think you can see I/we had a wonderful time with friends from all across the world - AND we got to see some gorgeous belgians, AND do some shopping - can it get any better??? :D

I want one like this.....

And the purple one, of course! :P

Leather slip leads in pink, lime and purple. Yes, I needed more leads to my dogs!!! Always!!! :D

After a lot of shopping, we were lucky enough to have these two handsome and strong men to help us get everything back to the car. ;) I am not sure that Emanuele and Pietro was very impressed by my choice of pink - but look how cute they are!!!! And Pernille was very pleased to have her very own, personal-push-around-man :D

(sorry, Emanuele and Pietro - but you were soooo cute with the pink gear! LOL)

The queen in her chariot ;)

Happy/crazy friends at the hotel :D

Did I mention crazy??? :D

Even more crazy - try do drive in England with 4 men in the backseat, doing selfies and just being CRAZY!!! :D

Queen Pernille got a new friend in Vivi ;)

DID I MENTION CRAZY DOGPEOPLE????? ;) :D

Ada and Dustins nice, blue rosettes (matching her new, blue watch *hihi*)

I was there when this beauty was made....! One Last Dance av Vikholmen - Zulu.

Another handsome chap I found in the ring - Mr. Santos - I loved both his character and his looks <3

 Did I mention my love for Zulu? The sweetest baby-boy I have seen in a long time. :) We got the chance to shoot some photos of him outside, and I think this one in B&W is my favorite:

 ....and some cool ones of Zulu in action in the ring:

We had a great time at the hotel with a lot of friends from all over the world, and despite the food being its usual not-so-great, I cannot complain about the company! :)

Last day at the hotel - do you spot the spitz? :D
Pernille was afraid I might forget her while I was packing, better to stay in the suitcase!

Finally on the ferry home from Dover - rather tired....zzzzzzz.....

Kids got new books and toys from (even more) shopping in the UK - they loved it :)

See you next year at Crufts? :)
