But now I have to say it has happened!
Little did I know when starting the car on Friday what would be the outcome on Sunday evening!
I don't even know where to start so please excuse me if I somehow seem lost with words when trying to describe this truly UNFORGETTABLE weekend.....
Before anything else I want to thank all the judges during the weekend for appreciating the quality of our young boys - Karin Brostam Berglund, Miklos Levente, Monika Blaha and Kurt Nilsson - THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
And thank you Maarit and Tuukka for keeping Armas in such great shape! Karo and Saana - super company and lots and lots of laughs!
Without one very special lady this weekend would not have been possible - Outi, one in a million kind of friend <3
Thank you all friends for living these super moments with us!
Ok, that sounded almost like a speech at the Oscar's but it kinda feels like it... LOL
So let's start.
On Friday we headed to Oulu with Karo and were preparing to continue to Tornio on Saturday morning. I gotta say it takes a certain kind of madman to do this kind of trip for fun! But yes, we are that kind of madmen ;)

Now I was left with a dilemma...... Armas won the group and Best In Show would be tomorrow.... But we would also have our Finnish American Cocker Club's Main Speciality show tomorrow in Kangasala.....
These are the moments when you realize how lucky you are to have such a remarkable friend, who will help and support you no matter what. THANK YOU Outi <3
And one special thank you goes to my husband Antti who drove me on Sunday morning back to Tornio <3
So on Sunday I headed back to Tornio ( don't even want to tell you how far away it is.... LOL ) and Outi took my dogs to the speciality show.
