Zamora safely in Copenhagen

Good morning

Zamora is now safely in Copenhagen. Hillevi is taking care of her together with grandmother when Ulrika is working.



Here she is brought out from the terminal in her wooden crate.







It was a very happy reunion. You have to tilt your head here I'm afraid. Blogspot doesn't allow picture rotation. Yes I know we put a man on the moon more than forty years ago. What to do?

Right. Got to go to work. Again!

Cheers, Per

Zamora goes to Copenhagen

Hello.

I am on day three out of six 5.00 pm check ins. In the afternoons it's childrens activities and packing on the agenda.

This is me and Liz who is also Swedish at Ryslip farms in Berkshire. She is running a huge boarding kennel and is also a famous judge on dog shows all over Europe.

Liz also ships dogs all over the world. I left Zamora in her capable hands on Monday to be shipped this afternoon. Zamora is landing in Copenhagen with SAS SK 504 at 16.55. Ulrika and Hillevi will pick her up and bring her to Sweden.

Hillevi has created a nice corner for Zamora to sleep in with a fluffy mat so hopefully she will settle nicely.

Zamora did not like the car trip to Berkshire in the cage. She was ok on the M3 but as soon as there were braking and turning she was complaining.

No dog pictures today I'm afraid. Now I'm off for another Palma flight.

Cheers, Per

Back from the north

Hello everybody.

We are back from Norway. It was nice to step into the nice warm summer evening at Stansted after four more or less wet and cold days in Norway. We had a great time visiting friends and some museums though.

This is the famous Ra II in which the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Atlantic.

This is a kind of ship you should be fairly familiar with. Apart from the plundering the Vikings were actually keen farmers. Well, that's what the signs said.

Our puppy is now officially called Zamora after a beautiful village in the north of Spain
She is a big girl at 6.8 kg.

She had her second jab today plus tapeworming which is a requirement from the Swedish authorities. She has a nice blue Passport too but she really doesn't like car travel in a cage.

Flexi is going with us in the Luton van when her daughter is flying Scandinavian Airlines.



I am bringing Zamora to Ryslip Kennels in Berkshire tomorrow. They are going to send her on Thursday to Copenhagen. Nice for her to see the one of the home counties up close.

Before I go a warning. An artificial bone called Nylabone almost caused a choking incident for Lexi on the Isle of Wight. Very unpleasant so keep an eye on your puppy if they are chewing Nylabones.

Cheers, Per

Blog break and house training

Good evening everybody.

What a day! It's like Malaga here.



The house training has worked very well with nothing done inside today. I don't know exactly how much she has eaten today but she seems happy and that's good enough for me.

I need to prepare for a simulator check next week so I will not post anything on the blog for a while. Probably not until Monday after the next weekend because we are going to Norway that weekend to see friends and Kon-Tiki.

Hopefully I will actually have something useful to write by then.

Cheers, Per

Too hot for comfort

Good afternoon.

A bit too hot for the dogs today I think. It would have been nice with a gentle rain.

Our two dogs are doing nothing else than trying to survive at the moment. They are drinking a lot and lying in the shade or under my chair.



One of them is drinking a lot and also producing a fair volume of wee which is deposited on our kitchen floor nine times out of ten. So far today we have had five of them and two of the solids. We always seem to spot it too late and then the moment is gone obviously.

The educational opportunity is only available for a few seconds so you have to be alert.

By the way if you would be happy to be contacted via email by the other owners please let me know. It could be useful to share some experiences as the puppies are growing.

As I write this our puppy has done it again. She is happily playing with the vacuum hose and next to her a little puddle of wee. What to do? I have to watch her closer.

Right! It's like flippin' Spain out there but I have got to press on and pick up the children from school.

Cheers, Per
