Friday morning – we are rushing to leave to Latvia’s capital Riga airport.
This is the day we waited for two months.
Four hours drive and we are here, at the Riga airport. Jumping out the car, getting inside – the flight is delayed.. No matter, just feeling sorry for that little creature.
Waiting for another hour and here it is, the plain Bucharest – Frankfurt – Riga has landed. Continue reading

Last weekend was the International Dog Show Kika Cup 2013.
Baltia Sumu UPE and Baltia Jarvi UPE were participating at the show in intermediate class already.
Baltia Sumu UPE was participating in intermediate class at the age of 17 month and got CAC, W, CACIB, BOB and finally became group winner!
