1 year 2 months

Been on the beach, but the water was so cold already, that I just didn't want to go there. I got my toes wet, but nothing more.
I searched the place and read all the news other dogs have left.
Mom tried to get some new photos, but it was getting so quickly dark and we managed to do just a few.
This is how I look now :)

Valmiera (Latvia) and Šiauliai (Lithuania)

So....
1033 kms, hundreds of euros and nothing :(
I didn't make it and mom was a bit disappointed. It was a long journey and took a lot of money, but what to say. Maybe I just have to admit, that I am an average dog and will be not a show-superstar. Mom thinks, that we are quitting this hunting of certificates.She was so excited to go to Latvia and Lithuania... and once again. We didn't succeed to get those :(. There is always someone, that is better looking. They washed me, groomed me and my coat was shining, I behaved well, but it just wasn't enough.
So ... here are the results, which are translated from russian and lithuanian languages to some kind of english:

8.10.2011 in Valmiera, Latvia
Judge Olga Goncharuk (Ukraine)
Jun 1/3
Middle size, too long, good topline, in head needs more muzzle, needs more free movement, now changing coat.

9.10.2011 in Šiauliai, Lithuania
Judge Nijole Zieniene (Lithuania)
Only red ribbon :(
Good bones, good size, good head, uncorrect ear set, enough lenght of neck, a bit loose elbows in move, good back angulations, moves easily

The pictures are taken in a nice place we rested in near of the city Šiauliai (Lithuania). It was called "Homestead Girele". I must also tell, that there was some kind of party going in the bigger house and... in the middle of the night they have a big big firework going. It was like they have started a war, just under our windows! It doesn't disturb at all and we only slept further :).
We also visited the hill of crosses, which was only 1 km from there. Quite a place!

So... today was a strange day :P

I am now 1 year, 1 month and 18 days old and something our folks have waited happened today. We were running free on the forest when suddenly... I had to pee (hah, again). I lifted my back foot like that wasn't a big deal. Mom shouted "Oih, Spot... what are You doing?" It didn't disturb me at all. Maybe now... I will surprise them again :)
So, this was the first time, but I am sure, I will do it again.
