Year 2009

24.5.2009	Bitti at Rauma all breed exhibition Bitti told: Mistress and Willy went out without me. I wonder why and "cry" a little. Then master started fast to back our coolbox and rucksack. When backing was ready I and master went to our car. Quite soon mistress come also. I was a little worried, if they forgot Willy at home. Finally mistress recognize my worry and told that Willy was left to home advisedly. This is MY trip to MY exhibition to Rauma!
Car trip was less than one hour. On the entrance they told that we enter in last minute. However there were half hour time left. Although there were many dogs and people, master and mistress found a place for my cage. I warned some dogs, which try to come too near to me. Then I recognize that my back support (Willy) was not with me. After that I was quite silent boy! Oh, I have to snarl to Uffe! There were some nice kooiker girls: puppy-Maru and Maru's mother Viivi played with me. It was nice. Much more fun was to dig smells out from the sand. Master had to wipe my nose many times.
judge Rony Doedijns, the Netherlands Finally we went to the ring. Judge was from the Netherlands. He understood well kooikerhondjes. He examined me on the table. It was a little exiting. Master said that I didn't move well on the ring. However I got a lot of sausage bits. Judge said, that my front is too open, but I like to hold my feets stable on the ground ;-)
OPEN EXCELLENT, OPEN COMPETION CLASS 1, BEST MALE 2, CERT (Read evaluation)	When we went out from the ring, our friend shout "congratulations of certifigate". We didn't at first recognize what they meant. Then master got idea "other males got "very good" and we "excellent", there were one champion male left. So I got certifigate. It is my very first. I was proud. My father Willy has only res-certifigate! I am better on agility and now also more handsome! Many people say that Willy is more handome, but he is so black. I have to go some exhibitions , because they try to make me champion as my sisters and brother. I wonder what this means.?

21.5.2009 AGILITY (unofficial) Place: Harjavalta, Hosiossaari Judge: Pasi Savila Bitti (OPEN): 1. 5,33(45,33/+0,33/5) Vili (OPEN): DSQ	Ascension Day unofficial agility competition at Harjavalta Bitti tell: We drove to Harjavalta. We went without our caravan trailer. They said that trip is so short, that they don't want to back our trailer with us. During our car trip there rains a lot! Willy said that he don't like to come wet! Also I and mistress didn't like to come wet! However the rain stopped, when we arrived to Harjavalta. The race was exiting. All dogs had to possibilities to raca. Better result counts as a final result. We thought that this will be Willy's race. Many times he rushed first start and then do much better run. I also like more, if I can run a second start soon after first start. I have a diesel engine, which warms up slowly ;-) This time didn't went as we thought before. First start was faster and better. I remembered that I did contact on A-obstacle, but judge didn't saw it. I did almost correct time, 0,33sec overtime. On the second start i jumped over dogwalks contact due to masters guidnace error. I also did one second more overtime. Master liked, because I got now more speed that last week. I was a little nervous, if Willy run faster than me. I thought that I had to made it better, because I am a 3rd class dog. Willy rushed first start over all contacts and alkso took some denials. Before end he also made wrong track error. On the Willy's second start he listened so well, that all think that Willy will win. Two obstacles before end he did wrong track.
So Willy didn't got prizes and I was open class best medi dog. There were 7 dogs and 3 got result. Master and I got a sack of prizes: 4kg good food, nice softie and bones. At home Willy tried to got my softie, but I didn't let him to got it at first.

20.5.2009	Visiting a vetenary Bitti tell: If I have known before, what will happend, I was vanished below master and mistress bed. After our morning routines, master put sausage bits to plastic bags. Then they put harnes on us. I and Willy thought that we will have agility. I claimed, that we stopped to wrong place, because our car was stopped to city's vetenary station. Inside we met a big black labrador retrieval. We barked to it. Our mistress vanished to somewhere. I and Willy followed our master to doctor's room. Willy took his vaccination as a man. Blood test was a little more exiting. Then mistress arrived to room. She has given our informations on check-in desk. I tried to rush away, but master managed to catched me. I didn't took sausagebits, because I was so scared. After that we paid our tests and vaccinations and got marks to our vaccination books. vet-nurse packed blood tubes to envelope. We sent those to Hannes Lohi's gene test bank project.

Then they started to back up our bags. I and Bitti were joyful, when misterss took our agility rucksack from the closet. YEAH we will went to agility competition. We like the sunny and dry weather on that day. At Rauma they left us in the car and carried our "camp" to the competition area. Soon master come to took Bitti with him and left me to the car. WHY Bitti can run first? PAH! Fortunatelly misrtess took me also soon. I saw a kooiker-puppy Nuutti. I play a little with it. Suddenly I found more interesting doing. Mistress and master has built our "camp" to the old familiar place. Mistress put us in the cage and boring waiting started. Then they took Bitti on the track. I bored myself. Between Bitti's tracks we were both on the cage adn watched peolpe and dogs that passed by. Bitti tell: I liked, because I can ran with master. Expecially nice it was, because they left Willy in the cage. First track didn't went correctly, because judge showed some marks with his hands. However I did some own desicions and master had not have to brought to every obstacles. Once I chaged side behind my master. Then he commanded me to the tube. Because I was on wrong side of him, I ran to the wrong end of tube. So we got DSQ. I ran with good speed. On the second race I listened well and master tried to run fast. Track consisted of many sharp corners. I took long curves and thus we got 1.89sec overtime. This time it was not enough to the prize positions. I like more straight lines on the trqack. then I will ran full speed. There were many kooikerhondjes at Rauma. I snarl to my friend Nemo, when we met. Nemo raced on 1st class. Nemos "bigsister" Netta raced at the same class than me. She is a girl and I didn't snarl to her. Willy tell: Finally I had my turn. Mistress liked, because I waited well starting command on both tracks. I even listened commands after I rushed on the track. She was so slow that I had to slow down my speed some times. On the both tracks I took once the wrong end of tube, because I ran so much front of mistress. She was happy, because I took all contacts well. On teh second track Mistress forgot the track after my tube error. However we took some obstacles and run to the end.

1. - 3.5.2009 AGILITY Place: Seinäjoki, Nurmon koulun kenttä Organizer: LAGU Judges: Seppo Savikko, Anne Savioja, Sari Mikkilä, Esa Muotka	"1st of May" -agility competition and Bitti to 3rd class Willy tell: Mistress and master has decided to appealing us, that this "1st of May" will be spend in agility competitions.

We slept well adn woke up frisky at Friday morning.

Willy

Willy tell:

At Friday's first competition I and Bitti started one after another. Mistress promised that I will got a toy from Koiranpäiviä shop, if I do zero result.

I was cool before start, but when I saw obstacles, my engine started full rounds. Nicely I listened, what mistress said. She didn't show third jump and I ran beside it. I come back and so we didn't got DSQ. I missed dogwalks end contact. Thus result was 10 and we got 5th place.

There were no more tracks for us at Friday. I become bored. Fortunatelly there were some auxiliary competitions. I took part to retrieval competition. I had 40 seconds time to retrieve as many things as possible from the a square. It was quite odd situation. We haven't trained it. I sniffed all things through and picked up a tennis ball. I gave it to my mistress and got a sausage bit. She asked me to retrieve again, but all other toys were so odd, that I didn't carried those. Bitti didn't took part to this competition, because he didn't do this at home well at all.

At Saturday morning master woke up early. He asked us to eat morning food. Then we did our morning walking. There were many nice smells. Then master ate some breakfast and left us with mistress. He did some training at Seinäjoki. He is going to be a "responsible competition officer".

Böö-Bitti qualified at Friday to 3rd class. He had to wait to the evening until he had his starts. I had my in the afternoon.

At first track mistress said, that this is a nice track. Before my start I stared one dog outside the ring. Mistress had to asked me strongly before I listened her. Finally I sat down and she took my harness off. I waited starting command and then rushed to the obstacles. I should turn to third obstacle (tube), but I ran to the next jump obstacle. We got DSQ. I took also one tube twice, because I wanted it. Mistress said that I had again a rascal gear on and gave only a half of sausage to me.

Before the next track I got long briefing. Judge has said that "keep fun" because there were much time on the track. Misress had said that at least my dog will keep fun. Judge said, that she remember that I have had some "own fun" on the first track.

My mistress promised that if I did no faults, I will get 2 extra meatballs. I love meatballs. I had to listened well. I waited starting command and did everything as she asked to do. We got ZERO result!!!

I said to my mistress, that she had promised me meatballs. We ran to our trailer and took meatballs to me. Then I remembered that she had promised me also a toy. Mistress tried to gave me some pulling toys, but I fell love to one softie, which I picked up myself from one basket.

At trailer Bitti tried to took MY toy. I let him play a little with it. I and mistress got first prize.

On Sunday at first track I liked to rush, but cooled down. After a starting command I rushed on the track. I did something wrong at slalom. Also I took every tube to wrong direction, but contacts were nice.

Sunday's last track was jump competition. I did 8 first obstacles well, but then at barrier I touch it (no errors). Four obstacles before end my mistress was long behind me and I took wrong obstacle. Thus we got DSQ.

Bitti tell:
On Fridays competition I had a slow gear on at start. I followed master's commands excatly at begining's difficult part. Then I speed up a little. At see-saw I slow down again. Then there were slalom and I have to again slow down. Master said that we can do those faster! Master was a little astonished, when I ran to the tube so well and took all contacts well.

After the A-obstacle I touched a jump's bar, but it didn't fell down. Before the end master did difficult guidance movement, but I recognized what he expected me to do. Then we ran to the end. I got just the time limit without errors. So we got ZERO result and certifigate to the 3rd class!!!

On Saturday Bitti had his first start at 3rd class. It went well. However I almost entered the wrong end of the tube at 3rd obstacle. Speed was slow, but we got 5th place with +6.31 seonds overtime.

Master was more nervous on the second track. He did a poor guidance at difficult part of track. Thus I didn't find slalom correctly. I also ran out too early from the slalom. I didn't other errors, but took some overtime. I didn't like those late evening races (after 8 p.m.)

Although it was the beginning fof May, there were over 20 degrees of Centigrade. I did a little dog sleepy. Master sweat a lot, because he had not shorts in trailers closet. He burned his neck during these days.

At Sunday I raced a second day in 3rd class. The track seemed to be easy, but many dogs did errors. I was the only one, who did not errors. I did 1,24sec overtime, because I ran once to say hello to the judge! I took all contacts well. I and master got first prize.

Our last track was a jump track. I was sleepy, because I hadn't slept during the day. I did no errors, but took 7,10sec overtime. I love to be on the track, because the all watched me.

26.4.2009	Our dog boys have spring feelings in their chest Spring come, snow melted, sun is shining ja warms our chests. It is nice and fun to run at our own yard. Sometimes we play tag. If we raise up our noses, we can catch smells, which are carried by spring wind. Bitti "Spitz kooikerhondje"


19.4.2009 Willy performed oriental dogdance in oriental dance show "Kipinöitä" Place: Pori, Palmgrensali Organizer: Tanssiyhdistys Ductia ry Behind the stage I carefully inspected alla bags. In this photo I inspected my mistress bag.	Willy - four legged and furriest oriental dance dancer Willy tell: I am very first our legged oriental dance dancer ... and furriest one ... and I dance fluently, although I have two left foot. I went with my mistress well in advance to the show place. I got familiar to the stage and had rehearsal on the stage. There were two big oriantal rugs on the floor. Theose were intended to eliminta my slipping. However the floor was so slippery that rugs were not stable. Before our dance organizer put antislippery rugs under the rugs. I performed my dance so fast, that rugs still moved. I tried to pull out the anti-slippery rugs and spectators had fun. People love our dance. We got big hands after our dance. I tried to went perform another dance during second half-time of show. Unfortunatelly my mistress catched me before I was on the stage. Behind the stage all dancers admired me and stroked me. I chose carefully, who can stroked me. One nice dancegirl got big kiss and hug from me!

18.4.2009 Place: Noormarkku, WeCa's training hall Organizer: WeCa Judge: Eija Berglund Race A medi-2 Willy 1. 5(46,72/-0,28/5) Bitti 2. 5,78(52,78/+5,78/0)	Own team's agility competition Willy tell: In the morning master and mistress packed thei bags and put agility clothes on. We were enthustiatics. But they left us at home! Mistress told that she will come to bring us later. Fortunatelly she come and we were able to drove to the agility hall. Master and mistress worked at the competition whole morning. There were so few 2nd class dogs, that all had a track familiarizing at the same time. I was a little restless before competition, but mistress put me sit down and cooled me. The track was not easy. There were many turns and difficult parts. Mistress shouted to me a couple of times. Before the end I rushed away from the dogwalk without end contact. I didn't other errors. Bitti was happy because he competed also. Bitti didn't any errors, but he ran so slowly, that there is not possible to made any :-) He has some overtime. Tere were no other results in medi-2 than ours. So I and Bitti stand beside each other on the podium. I got 1st and Bitti 2nd prize.

13.4.2009 Place: Lieto, ATT-areena Organizer: ATT Judge: Johanna Nyberg Willy (Medi-2): R4: 4. 10(43,0/-7,0/10) R5: 5. 5(41,34/-10,66/5) R6: DSQ Bitti (Medi-2): R4: 1. 0 (47,84/-2,16/0) R6: DSQ	Easter agility Bitti tell: At the Easter Monday we went to the agility competition. Now we drove without our caravan trailer. I wonder how it will work! The competition was in our favourite hall at Lieto ATT-arena. Our soft cages were carried inside the hall. We had both own cage. Master and mistress watched mini-2 class competition. Judge Johanna Nyberg has planned nice track. I founded some familiar dogs at the arena. At least there were shetlands shephard Tytti. Her master Harri and our master & mistress planned together, how they will move on the track. Before the start master warmed me up at jump obastacles. It was fun. I got also much sausage bits. I was the only and one skillful dog, which did zero result. I won this competition. I think that master guiden me odd way and with risks. Earlier he did waltzes, but now he tried to cut his running line behind (or mostly in front of) me. I think that this cutting in front of me is much safer for me. I did see-saw adn slalom slowly, but still we had 2 seconds below optimal time. We miss still one zero result before 3rd class. During the second track (R5) I rested in our car and walked outside the hall. Third track was jump track. Master didn't left enough space for me between obstacles 6 and 7. Thus I jumped 7 in wrong direction. This made the result DSQ. My master said that this DSQ was good thing. We are not ready to the class 3.

4.4.2009 Place: Janakkala Organizer: Janakkalan koirakerho Judges: Laura Jalli, Henna Meriharju, Heli Nousiainen, Mirja Ovitz, Marita Packalen Willy 6th Tech: 76 / Art: 78,2 SUM: 154,2 (read evaluation)	Dogdance Finnish championships Willy tell: We drove with our caravan trailer to the Janakkala. I took part to the Finnish dogdance championships. There were no other kooikerhondjes. Bitti didn't took part, because his and mistress had not yet suitable choreography to this level. We had a new choreography, which we had performed once at Vahto competition 8.3. Before our dance, I did all movements correctly. The competition dance didn't went so well. We got 6th place. The best pair, Sini and Sonic, won!

31.3.2009	Willy as a celebrity Willy tell: Satakunnan Viikko -magazine had founded an advert of oriental dance show. In this advert had written "oriental dance presented by a dog". A news reporter Sanna Jääskeläinen asked, if she can do a story of me. Mistress said that is OK. Reporter took photos of me. Mistress told something of me and dogdance. I tried also told my own comments. Bitti tried to play with reporter. At the end of the interviewI presented all my dance tricks. The story was published on the next weekends newspaper.

28.3.2009 AGILITY Place: Lieto, Royal Canin Areena Organizer: TSAU Judge: Leena Rantamäki-Lahtinen Willy (Medi-1) 4. 10(43,56/-8,44/10) 1. 0(40,69/-8,31/0) certifigate Bitti (Medi-2) 5. 21,97(60,67/+11,97/10)	Willy qualified to the 2nd class Willy tell: Before the track I played with mistress. She tried to took of my "rascal energy". Mistress gave me a long briefing before the track. I tried to rush the track a couple of times, but she manage to stopped me. Fortunatellyt there were some obstacles in straight line. I listened mistress's commands after the A-obstacle. I rushed too enthustiaticly and dropped one jump stick. Also I missed the end contact of the dogwalk. At the end my mistress was long behind me. On teh second track we took "flying start". Mistress made follow-commands with me outside the track area. Suddenly se said "jump". She had bluffed me. We were on the track and I hadn't rushed. Mistress confused also her herself. She almost forgot the track. We both ran the track well. I did slalom well and took all contacts. At the end I got much praises, scratches and sausages ... IT WAS ZERO-RESULT and qualification to 2ns class!!!!! We had waited this long time.
Mistress can not run as fast as I do. Willy and Roosa at podium.
	Bitti ran only one track. He was not at competition mood. He sit down long time behind first obstacle. Then he started to "walk" through the track. After slow slalom Bitti jumped only first part of serial obstacle. They have to made it all again. It took much time. Bitti think that all has to make correctly and frustrate while repeating it. At the end part of track master forgot to said "dogwalk" (only show it). Bitti claimed, that it was sometimes difficult to follow masterd odd commands. However they did their track to the end.

15.3.2009 AGILITY Place: Lieto, ATT-areena Organizer: ATT Judges: Salme Mujunen (R4), Pertti Siimes (R5, R6) Willy (medi-1) R4: 5. 5(35,94/-24,06/5) R5: 3. 5,45(50,45/+0,45/5) R6: DSQ	Agility competition Willy tell: We drove a day before to the competition place with our caravan trailer. My starts were at afternoon, but master and mistress watched upper classes competitions and met their friends. Mistress took me to the track without the harnessI rushed so fast that mistress were far behind me. She catch me on third obstacle (slalom). Judge Salme Mujunen had planned a track which suited well to me. It was "run as fast as you can" -type track. After a straight line I turn in a curved tube and run again straight line. Three turning and all in tubes. Easy! However in the last tube I selected the wrong end, but not ended there. So we don't got DSQ, but 5 error points. I had fun! Two next tracks were more difficult. I rushed again, but listened mistress's commands. I took all contacts well, but come out too early from slalom. She praised me, because I listened so well. The track was so difficult that there were only 7 results (nine DSQs). I got third place. (picture on left: Judge Pertti Siimes, Anitta and Willy). On the last track I selected dogwalk instead of tube. We got DSQ. Mistress and I took teh rest of track as a contact training. Bitti was there as a tourist. He bored, because he didn't started at all. Master and Bitti took pause from competitions. They try to train see-saw and got more speed to Bitti.


8.3.2009 DOGDANCE-CANINE FREESTYLE Place: Vahto Organizer: Varsinaiset Vauhtitassut ry Judges: Johanna Saariluoma (JS) Henna Meriharju (HM) and Mirja Ovitz (MO) in training and novice classess Tiina Jounio (TJ) Willy (WINNER CLASS) 1. (written evaluation) Bitti (BEGINNER CLASS) 12. (written evaluation)	Winter high jinks – dogdance competition at Vahto Willy tell: This time we left our trailer at home because competition started at 2 pm. Mistress was a little bit nervous, because our rehearsal didn't went well. She said that I and Bitti had lost our memeories :-) There were quite many dogs, but not other kooikerhondjes. Bitti's dance was before mine. Bitti was little confused and watched audience. This was Bitti's first competittion with mistress. Bitti did some tricks well, but was quite slow in speed. Mistress told that they should train much more. I got less blessing than Bitti. It was mistress's fault. Why she leave me alone to my cage. Competition was much longer than they have told before. I was so tired, that I didn't like to dance. I sniffed and scratched. Okay, I did something also well. We have to train much before Finnish Championships which are in April. Our new dance is a mix of oriental bellydance and dogdance.

28.2.2009 AGILITY Place: Lieto, Royal Canin Arena Organizer: TSAU Judge: Henri Luomala Willy (Medi-1) Race A: DSQ Race B: 3. 5(42,01/-5,99/5)	We tried to hunt zero result again Willy tell: We drove with our caravan trailer to the arena's parking place a day before competition. So mistress can sleep longer at morning. At the first start I didn't wait starting command. I rushed 3 first jump correctly, but then selected barrier instead of slalom. So we got DSQ. The rest of course went well. This was quite difficult track. Only one of 8 medi-1 dogs got result. Mistress told that jump sticks were at 35cm (lowest) height. She claim that I ran too fast because of the low height. Fortunatelly we had our trailer. This morning was quite cold, but inside of the trailer was warm. Between starts I and mistress rested. Master and Bitti went to a long walk. So Bitti has something to do. He boasted that he has found a cute girl dog! On the second track I waited mistress's starting command. In the mid part of track was dog walk. There I got end contact error. Otherwice all went well. We got third place. Bitti didn't competed and he think that this day was boring. Master try to keep pause on Bitti's competitions. We have on our terrance a low see-saw. Bitti traines it every day. Maybe he can do it well soon. Mistress claim, that I did contacts bungling. We ahve to train A-obstacle and dogwalk end contacts much.

We have it at 8:30 am. We travelled with our caravan trailer a day before. Before start mistress played pulling paly with me. We also did dogdance and following tricks. She tried to make me tired. I got sausage bits before race. Dispite of all these tricks I rushed to the track! I jumped two obstacles and then started to listen mistress' commands. I did almost all well. In slalom I took wrong entrance and on dogwalk I got error from end contact area. Before the second track we did the same rituals. Now she opended my harness before the track ares. I didn't recognized that we were on the track, before she command me to jump. This was fun. I listened all the time. In the middle of track my mistress watched some parts of second to wrong direction and I followed her sight (beside the jump obstacle). This was the only error on that track! The last track we continued as the second track. Now I found that we were going to the track and tried to rush. On the dogwalk mistress slowed me and she got my lead to her away. however I jumped over the end contact area. This error was again the only error on our track. Mistress told that I am great agility dog. I got 2 sausages after second track and a sausage and a meatball after third track. Ofcourse I got also cool-down play with mistress and my rubber bear toy! I were on the podium in all third starts. We got 3 sacks of agilitydog food, two free starts and one trophy! Although the last zero result didn't realized we were happy. I also found my ears. Mistress told that this was the very first time that I have listened her during whole starts!

I rushed to the track immediatly after (tried also before) mistress has removed my harness. Mistress tried to shout me in the order, but I did my own track. She succeeded so well that we got results on both tracks. On our first track the judge walked toward my mistress during our track and said that we have done wrong track. Then he described our track and said: "ok I did techical error, you can start again as the last dog". However I can rush again with full speed! On the second track I didn't slow down my speed. At slalom mistress made me to did it wrong. i know myself, how it should be done. Our can makle strike! Webasto has been on too long and battery was empty. Fortunatelly on competitor has cables and gave us power. On the next day master bought own cables from car equipmet shop.

6.1.2009 Place: Noormarkku, WeCa exercisehall Organizer: WeCa Judges: Kari Jalonen (race A), Johanna Nyberg (race B) Willy Race A: 8. 17,02 (54,02/+2,02/15) Race B: DSQ	Own team Twelft Day agility competition Willy tell: Because Bitti has qualified to second class, he have to leave to home. These competitions were only for first class dogs. Bitti tried to come with us. Our mistress closed door in front of Bitti's nose. We were just on time in competition place. Mistress has allways difficulties with her clock :-) If we have missed the races, I think that I has stopped to "talk" with her. I waited in our car, while she learnt the track. Then we warm up. Kari Jalonen has made nice and clear track. The beginning went well. However I have difficulties to follow mistress' commands, beccause she gave those too late. The slalom was after a tube. I rushed from tube and made error at beginning of slalom. Also I didn't do all poles at first time. After the slalom I got full speed, but dropped one jump stick. Then we have one and half hour waiting. We rest in our warm car. Mistress tried to get me to rest also, but I have to took care that she will wake on time. I didn't like to wait start command. Mistress don't like, if I rushed to the track. Fortunatelly judge has given her permission. We have again negotiation, if all poles should be done :-) I did also well the jump after slalom, but then choose the wrong end of tube. Thus the result was DSQ. This time I took all contacts correctly. After the races I got smoothing from some girls. I enjoyed, because Bitti was not there! Then we drove to our home.

It was a good choise. The parking area was almost empty. Next morning there were a lot of cars. We built our camp and ate evening meal. Then we did our evening walking. There were a lot of nice smells. They have planned to do 3 races, but there were so many competittors, that they have cancelled third start. However the competition day lasted from 7:30 a.m. to 10:45 p.m. Bitti and master had planned to take only 2 starts, but they have entered me to all 3 starts. Mistress and I liked the B-race's track (race B was before race-A). I rushed to the track, but soon mistress put me to the order. Then we did our track well. We almost did our missing zero-track. There were a dogwalk as the second latest obstacle. I took end contact error from this :-( It was a pity! Before the second track I got more energy (mistress didn't like this). Immediatly after she turn her head, I rushed to the track. The first obstacles were on same places than in previous race, but in different order. Mistress got me just before wrong track on third obstacle to the correct track. I did some errors on slalom, but we continued. I passed one jump, but turn back and did it then correctly. I got some praises from mistress, because I did all contacts correctly. Bitti tell: I have waited alone the whole day in our trailer. Okey, Willy and mistress come back after their races. Then we ate and went to walking tour. Then was my turn to races and Willy was left to the trailer. I was afraid of see-saw also in this hall. Master succeeded to made me did the see-saw, but it took 13 seconds. I followed master obediently. So I did not got any track errors. Master kicked accidently the end of dogwalk, but the judge didn't noticed it. The long competition day made me sleepy on the second race. I stopped in front of 3rd jump (again like in Seinäjoki). This was my only error (if extra time was not calculated). I like to met girl dogs. One breton-girl liked me much. Keira-kooiker remembered me from our summer camp. She said "you should not smell my back part" :-) After the races we ate some food and then drove first half of our home trip. We stayed overnight Forssa ABC-station. At Sunday morning we ate breakfast and also our car drank some gasoline. Then we drove to Rauma. I and Willy stayed in our caravan trailer. Mistress and master visited Trygg-family and watched their 3 weeks old kooiker-puppies. Willy said "those were not my puppies". Misterss told, that this is OK, he haven't now any responsibility of those puppies :-)

31.12.2008 - 1.1.2009	New Year 2009 Bitti tell: New year was scary time. Three days there were "bombing". I didn't like it. I have to went out to made my needs. Willy didn't bother the bombing. Inside our house was nice to be. There were music or movies running all the time. So bombing sounds didn't bother me. I stayed on master's lap long times.
