Its been some good days and I’m in a really good mood

On Thursday it was time for Ferdinand and me to head to our allround obedience course, part 2
This day the class were going to be in the forrest instead of at the club and I was feeling a bit sceptic since it was raining like mad when we started driving. Fortunately when we got there it was great weather and pretty dry aswell
Since me and Ferdinand missed out last time, we had do some rehearse a bit before the class could continue
What we did was pretty much a stay command and leaving the dog, and from a distance give the dog a ”lay down” command from sitting position. Ferdinand did an excellent job, apart from where we tried to get back to sit from lay down from a distance….he was like ”what? you told me to lay down just a second ago”, lol
After seing that he listened well on his commands it was time for the rest of the class to get back to buisness
We were going to practice surprise dog encounters, with our own dog on leash at first and if that worked well, off leash.

The instructor took one of her dogs and headed in to the forrest and was hiding a bit with her dog. Then it was time for us one at them time, to walk on a small trail and she would just come out of the forrest with her dog. Ferdinand mr ”I dont see or hear anything” did of course not even notice them coming out of the woods, so I had to sound surprised and loudly say ”Oh, hellooo”, lol! Then he woke up He did very well and we moved on to the next part, off leash. We changed places a bit so the dogs wouldnt remember that on this path someone will come jumping out
Ferdinand was running loose and saw them coming but just stopped like he normally does. So I gave a stay command, went up to him and let the others pass…..excellent job!

Last thing we did was to leave the dog at one spot, call the dog in but on the way make a stop command and interrupt the dog from running up to us. That went very well aswell, and a very good exercise
All dogs and owners did very well on everything, so I think all of us went home very happy and proud of our dogs

Moving on to Friday then
I was a bit bored yesterday since its just me and Ferdinand at home this weekend. We are going up to our summer house next weekend and Johannes is working extra so he can take some free days
The day turned out very well though, since I got invited over to the neighbour for some BBQ dinner!!
We had a really nice time with some nice food and a bit to much wine as usual, haha!!! When I was suppose to walk home to me, it was so dark and I bumped in to a parked car around the corner that I had ”forgotten” about, lol
Laughed at myself

Yaaay, walk time

Ferdinand was so happy to see me and danced around like crazy and ran in to walls and stuff, lol!
My crazy little bear <3
It was a really good weekend! The only thing that sucked was that I got nauseas when riding on some attractions >.<
The best rides was definitely:
Balder - a wooden roller coaster that was INSANE!
AtmosFEAR - Europe’s tallest free fall!

Soon its time for a short work shift, really hope I’m working with someone fun tonight, or it will be a boooring evening

Helen and me

Emmi and Frida

What a busy weekend its been, busy but with lots of fun!!

On Friday me and Ferdinand jumped in to the car and started driving down to Norrköping. We arrived to Denise and her family in the evening after a really tuff car ride down. There was a really heavy rain storm all the way, sigh..!!
After saying hi to everyone and being sooooo surprised of how much my goddaugther had grown since I last saw her, it was time for some dinner…PIZZA, hehe!!
After stuffing our faces full with unhealthy food it was time for me and Denise to head to the dog show area to put up my tent and ofc by doing so getting a great ring side spot
Little did we know a big surprise waited for us as we arrived in the dark and still ongoing rain storm…..the outdoor show area was LOCKED! The whole place was surrounded by big fences, lol!
Since I’ve got a few years on my neck when it comes to visiting shows, its not the first time I’ve stumbled on to ”issues” like this….so as any other scheming female, my head starting making plans at once
I drove (on the grass, yes) and looked for the ”end” of the fence since there was a lot of trees and a big lake on one side, so the fence couldnt surround the whole place, not tightly anyway We parked by a small hill and I jumped out in the crazy rain and started to climb, lol! On the other side I pushed through some nasty rose bushes and SUCCESS, a creek by the trees made a small gap where the fence were standing. I ran back to the car opened the door and said to Denise:
-”Ok we can do this, we can squeeze through and throw our stuff over the fence, but we will leave Ferdinand in the car”…..as the best friend she is, she didnt even look surprised, maybe she is used to me and my adventures by now??
So we made our way through the rose bushes, managed to get over the creek and push through the fence and voilà we were in! Haha
On the inside it wasnt so much better, the rain had pretty much flooded some parts of the show area and a lot of tents that was already standing there had collapsed. We found our ring fast and threw up the tent as fast as we could and got out there even faster…..but boy were we soaked >.<
I dont think I have to mention how tired we were when we got back home that evening

On the actual show day the rain had stopped but it was grey, dark and a bit cold outside. Its a shame because Ferdinands coat looks amazing with his glow when the sun is shining on him.
It was a lot of people at the show and I almost got hit by a car on the parking lot by some crazy stressed out woman with fluffy barking dogs, lol
I shouted at her and then she almost hit me again when trying to back her car out, haha! Insane

After a chilly and grey day at the show Ferdinand ended up as 2nd Best Male with CACIB and we could finally start making our way home

Since I got back home I’ve been doing tons of laundry of all the wet and muddy towls, blankets, clothes, etc. Also all the bags, folding chairs and tent had to be dried before putting away in our storage

What a weekend people!! But lots of fun and a memory for life, haha!!
Thanks to my best friend Denise that she can handle me and all the crazy stuff that goes hand in hand with me…..maybe its good that we dont see eachother that often?? LOL

Thanks to Mia for sending me some pictures of Ferdinand and me in the ring

Where did this summer go?? Been working like crazy and havnt really had any vacation so far, but will try to make up for that in the end of August

So whats up around here…..hmm, not much really, lol
Got a day off work today, so I’m just chilling at home with my wonderful Ferdinand <3

This weekend will be fun fun fun atleast!
On Friday me and Ferdinand will drive down to my wonderful friend Denise! Been ages since we saw eachother, as usual, lol! Busy lifes for both of us
Really looking forward to se her and her family and ofc my beautiful little goddaughter Isabelle <3
On Saturday me and Denise will go to the big Swedish Winner title dog show in Norrköping where I will compete with Ferdinand. Going to be really fun and hoping for good show weather
4 mastinos has entered and that is A LOT in Sweden, lol…..sad but true
Hopefully we can get some nice pictures of all the mastinos and maybe a group shot if everyone is up for it

Should go to town today to do some shopping, for Ferdinand, who else?? But I’m feeling so lazy, so I’m not really up for it, hehe!

Started using a new perfume the other day: Escada – Sentiment.
It smells sooooo good, love it and recomend it The bottle is cute aswell, big +++ in womens eyes I guess, hehe!
It is shaped like a heart when you look at it from above <3

Anyways enough chitchat for today, just trying to keep the blog semi alive, lol!!

Oh yeah one side note….
I am so happy and proud to be blessed with so many wonderful, kind and experienced mastino people out there <3
You know who you are and big thanks for always being there when needed, I wish all mastino owners would have the same luck with having people like you around them

I decided it felt better to start a fresh new blog than to continue with my old one, this one will also be in english instead of swedish….so we will se how that goes

I am going to update and freshen up all my sites and for now the blog + my YouTube channel is fixed, so go and have a look
I will be better with posting new videos on YouTube aswell with some upcoming fun events!

My Website is down until I’ve managed to make a whole new design, but I’ll be letting everyone know when its back up and running again
Also my Twitter isnt updated for now either, will start making more posts there aswell when I’ve freshened up my page a bit, hehe!

I guess instead of spring cleaning, I’m making a summer cleaning

Best regards to everyone out there and especially to all mastino lovers <3

I'm to tired to come down.....
