Saana and I headed to Kotka for the traditional Rose of Kotka show. This year the venue was superb, right by the sea and thankfully it was a sunny day! Thank you much Saana for everything and can't wait to do another roadtrip soon :D

Another weekend full with shows 7.-8.6.2014

Again a double weekend and with different dogs. So long days and lots of time spent bathing and grooming. But all is worth it as like always, days spent with the best of company - dear friends!

On Saturday I took Cosmo to Mänttä and met up with his co-owner Salla and her family and also got to see the lovely Kiss and Patrik & Timo again. No huge success but even more social fun instead!
