Friday evening, at 11:00 pm 🌙, my adventure partner Federica and I embarked on a journey full of dreams and expectations. After 5 hours and a quiet journey, we arrived in front of the gates of the Euro Dog Show Slovenia 2024 - at 3:21 in the morning. The adrenaline with the little one, making the planned rest impossible. So, we opted for a plan B: TikTok, singing, dancing and laughing until the gates opened at 4:15 🎵💃
With the dawn, the real hard work began. We unloaded our babies by putting them on the trolley 🐶. Having found a place inside the exhibition area, we took care of the little ones: water 💧 pee 🚽 food 🍖... Federica, with her precision and mastery, put the finishing touches to the grooming ✂️.
At 9:00, finally, the moment has come – the show begins!
The first to take the field was our Vivienne, in the veteran class, led by the excellent Fabrizio. The magic began... and - first joy, first satisfaction!
🏆 Vivienne won the class! 🏆
Then it was Meghan 's turn in the Free class with Francesca. The little one wasn't at her best, unfortunately her period has a big impact on her performance.. But despite everything - another joy!! - she earned a well-deserved:
🥉 Third Place 🥉
Now it's the boys' turn.. I entered with my beloved Charlie Jr. , I believe in him even though he was the only chocolate roan in the class against all the blue roans.. But we don't care, we like challenges! 💪 He behaved magnificently, calm and serene and together we also managed to earn a:
🥉 Third Place 🥉
Now it's Blake's turn, my blue roan, he flew in the ring with Fabrizio in open class - they are beautiful! 🌟 In fact, winning a brilliant:
🥈 Second Place 🥈
I'd say I'm already over the moon at this point... 🚀 But the adventure doesn't end here.
The highlight has arrived.. Now Vivienne will have to play off with the other multi-colored veteran. Eyes fixed on the ring, heart in throat 💓, Federica holds my hand tightly... Vivienne and Fabrizio fly confidently elegant in perfect synchronicity.. And.. with immense pride - Vivienne has become:
👑🏆 European Veteran Champion! 🏆👑
Tears, screams, pure joy! Indescribable emotions! 🎉
I am returning home with my heart full of love.. All the sacrifices made by me and my entire family have been repaid! 🙏 I am grateful to my mother, who helps me every single day while I am at work and who replaces me while I am away even though she is not so young anymore.. To my sister-in-law, who takes care of the website and the contents. To my brother who always supports me in times of need..
I also have to thank Fabrizio, Francesca and Keith, for their precious help and emotional support. To Federica, who not only shared this day with me but who makes my dogs wonderful all year round! And, of course, thanks to my magnificent babies, who always follow me without complaining. ✨
This European Exposition left an indelible mark on me, a memory that I will carry in my heart forever. It was the demonstration that with passion, dedication and the support of the right people, dreams can really come true.
See you on the next adventure!
With love,
Laura 🐾❤️
