Our North American tour is a loong one this year. During six weeks we travel around and visit eight different dog training centers in Canada and US. There is now one more week to go and we have a great tour, me and Lilli! I have seminars every day, but if it has been a really long drive or when we had a flight between the places I have had "a day off". I wondered how I would manage this marathon tour with seminars, I try to go to bed early and take many walks with Lilli and that keeps up my energy! But I was a bit worried in the beginning. After about a week here I felt dizzy, couldn't focus with my eyes and I didn't find the words. It was a bit scary and I have never felt anything like that before. So at my forth place that was was planned to start with a trial I decided to cancel the first trial day and take a day off. Since then I have been fine, so I think that was a good idea! Me and Lilli had a day for our selves and we spend it with hours of hiking at Valley Forge National Historical Park.

Lilli – en riktig kanonhund!
We enjoyed hours of hiking in the woods and the meadows at Valley Forge
Sunday – Trial day! It was soo much fun with all different classes and open courses with speed and big distances between the obstacle! Lilli was amazing, here posing with her friend Stiffi 😉
Video from the trial
Here follows a gallery with pictures from some of the places we have visited so far:

After a night with health certificate issues we needed this nice day! I found out 11.30 p.m., the day before the flight 8.25 in the morning, that Lilli needed a health certificate for the flight….(it was all clear instructions about that in my tour book, I just didn't look at that page soon enough..) It was not easy to find a vet at that time but finally we found one clinic where the vet usually came way earlier than when she actually started her work. So 4.45 a.m. we took the chance and drove there. She came and we got all paper work done just in time for the flight!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
I love Halloween and America is a good place to be around this time. But I miss my spooky rounds with my family and kids at home! Here are some pictures of cool Halloween garden decorations!

When Mich left to Nationals I should hike by my self in this Musquash woods. No problem, I like to walk by my self. But what I didn't think about was that it was late… and soon dark. I found a map and thought I would have time for the longest hike. I did't feel for count miles to km, so I was guessing. Usually when I guess it ends up less good. We started to walk and it got darker and darker… I thought i little about turning back and go the same way home. No, that's boring, I hate to go back. So I continued. First after a while I got idea that it could be scary in the dark woods in the middle of a foregin country… and it got dark quick. I realized that it was a good idea to start running if I should ever come back home. So we ran, in the dark with my cell phone as the only light. I heard my own breaths when I tried to run on the small, stony trails in the middle of the deepest forest, totally sweaty. Perfect for the worst scary Halloween movie! After an hour we finally found the way back, with help from Lilli. Agony. Clever Jenny!
