    On Monday 8 June we left the beginning of the afternoon in the direction of the world exhibition in Italy. One night just in France and two in the Black Forest, southern Germany. Here, Simon had found a nice campsite at a height of 1100 meters and we went sporting, hiking, mountain. Thursday to Pavia where we thought to find a nice campsite again. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was very small. On Saturday the greyhounds were approved in the huge exhibition hall in Milan. Since the Deerhounds were the first to turn, I had the opportunity to follow several inspections. The inspection of the Deerhounds was strange to say the least, but that was not only with the Deerhounds. Manipulated tails were placed, the other side of the line was very often important, totally unsound hounds, which really cannot walk normally, were placed above Sounde hounds and so on. Fortunately, both Whippet inspections were a joy to look at. Anyway, Sunday we left for home as we agreed with Marijn to Chidish and Cytaugh on Tuesday afternoon. We are delighted about this!   Tuesday afternoon June 16, finally. The three puppies walked outside with Marijn and after a chat and received some papers, we did Cytaugh and Chidish on the leash, in the car and home. What was Brandir happy when he saw those two apenkoppen the car coming out! After having walked around a little, the fence of the dam went and played and ran around as if they were not used otherwise. All the toys were taken out of the basket and scattered over the terrain, Brandir also had to retaliate, but this did not look bad at all!                                 Yes, and then we have to sleep, but of course two on one bed.           And meanwhile they grow like cabbage. They are not afraid of anything, find everyone and everything fun and interesting, so far nothing has been demolished, eat well and listen to their name. It's a wonderful couple!                     And if Chidish has another sleeping spot, Cytaugh crawls at Brandir.     After sleeping and eating it has to be played again. We had to leave the ' Dog Bank ', which is now nice. This afternoon Chidish discovered the hole and the first picking flew all around. It will not be long before we have to get a new ' dog Bank '. But first they can still have fun!
