It had been warm for a few days already, and my humans decided to make it even warmer. In the car we went and drove to this place my humans preferred to call Aitoo. I think tollerheaven would have beem a better name! There were lots of tollers - a million or maybe just about 80 - who knows. We did some training stuff, walking in the woods, swimming in the lake, sleeping in a tent and other stuff too.
I don't have all the pictures yet, but I'll update this page if I get some good stuff.

One of the funniest things was the running competition. Being the fastest toller of the galaxy I was sure I'd win, but I didn't! Nitro was first with the time 5.70 and I shared the second place with two other dogs. Our time was 6.10. I just have to do better next year! Here I am with the winner anyway.
Way to go human!
Here I try to teach my human a little agility. I'd never trained agility before, but hey, when one's a natural talent, one doesn't need to! I hope I can train my human more sometime, because she really needs it!

Where am I?
The tunnel was first a little bit scary when you didn't see through it, and if you run into some bitches in it, it could mean trouble.
Wouldn't it be easier, if yu just ripped up these sticks and let me chew them?
This was little more difficult. Trying to get the bait is anyway something I do gladly.
It sure is deep here sis, you'd better stay onshore!
Here I'm trying out the lake with my sister Riina (Trindy's Paradise Barbi). You remember I have four sisters and three brothers? (I don't..) Riina was anyway the first littermate I've met.
Come on sis, for old times sake, give your bro a hug
My sis was a real dish. I'm not sure, but I suspect that my humans didn't really like my loving attitude.
How much longer do I have to stand here? You're chellenging my attention span!
On Sunday there was big show. Combing and combing, no swimming. How could one possibly think that's fun? My humans did anyway. Here I am with my six soulmates (I'm the leftmost one). Young guys who all propably would prefer to be someplace else...
Faster, we're falling behind!
And here we're running. I didn't do so well. Normally I've got much more energy and am able to run much faster than my human and search the ground for sweets, flowers etc. Now I was a bit tired from the exhausting weekend and the incredible heat, so I had to trot just nicely beside my human.
My human is not giving me the baits I desrve! Can't you report her or something?
Here, still exhausted I stood rather still and let the nice people take a good look at me. That wasn't so bad actually. The judge Mona Gustavsson was a harmless human.

Check me out babes!
Here's a moment of glory. They say I won in my group (junior males)! Second was Nordwart Bijou (s:Foxgrove's Timberlea Wood Duck d: Harbourlights Pick Up Sticks) and third was Mindare's Trombi at Ares (s: Hircum's Jacquino d: Siphra's Indian Ramona).
Let me have them all!
Here we are again... I figured that as I had won the game, I was allowed to do what I want and I thought I'd start with the nice things the nice lady had in her hand. Too bad I was stopped before I had found out which ribbon actually would have been the best one.
Didn't we do this once already?
As I made so well in the first round, I got to the second one too. With me I had the two soulmated from the first round and a lot of other guys, maybe older and wiser than myself - but mind you, not wilder! The whole running around business was getting on my nerves, and as a natural talent I assumed I could decide on the pace. So soon I speeded up! Nice trotting is for bores and veterans!
Surrounded by worthy companions
Another moment of glory, this one even better than the first one! Being second to such a dog as Fin Ch WW-98 Siphra's Indiana Jones (s: Rödrävens Björnbär d: Westerlea's Tornado at Siphra) is not bad!
Third was Mäkiharjun Prima-Penner (s: Siphra's Indian Red Hawk d: Nordwart Hestia), fourth was Hedera's Barbate Beam (s: Small Fetcher Asterix d: Hedera's Orange Flower) and fifth was Fin, Swe & Int Ch Siphra's Indian Red Hawk (s: Rödrävens Björnbär d: Westerlea's Tornado at Siphra).
In front of us magnificent dogs is Mika (from m-file 18), he didn't get any price despite the pose.
Wanna know what the judge said?
