This one will be in english, since Nougats breeder Ivan isn’t that good in danish :-))

On thuesday Ditte and I went to Marie’s place to spend the evening and night, so the trip to the airport wouldn’t be so far in the morning. Thank you Marie and Axel for your hospetality and the very good cookies..uhmm :-))

The next morning Marie drove us to the airport and we started the trip by plane to Wien, which went fine and in Wien we picked up the rental car and we went of to Croatia. It’s around a 4 hours drive, but ofcource we had to meet a snowstorm on the way so i took a couple of extra hours, but luckily the company was good, so Ditte and I was at the hotel at 6 pm.

We took a quick shower and went to the city and looked for a place to eat and after a while we found a place..but oh my good.. the meat tasted of fish and was qiute unchewable…So we left and made a pitstop and Mac Donalds..So much for the nice dinner..*S* But it was a lot af fun and we had some good laughs about it :-))

Thursday was the day Nougat and I was going to see eachother for the first time, so the waiting time was a bit long but some shopping in Zagreb made it a bit better :-))

We was surposed to be by Ivan around 5 pm but since Dittes GPS only knew Zagreb and I can get lost everywhere…it didn’t take long before I had to call Ivan and he went in the car and picked us up…Thanks a lot Ivan :-))

A bit late we were at Ivans place and I meet Nougats father Gomez, he’s such a sweet boy and very handsome aswell :-)

Inside we meet Razz Matazz, who are the mother of Nougat and what a lovely girl, she is so much fun and has a huge personality, there will alway be a place for her in Denmark :-))

A moment after Ivan brought me my little Nougat and she is all and even more than I expected, she has a personality and a temper that is nothing less than perfect :-))

The pictures below is of Nougat and her Mother :-))

After spending a good time at Ivans, we were followed back to Zagreb. Thank you very much for a cozy time and your blind dog service for the lost danish girls :-))

Nougat took the car drive esaily as she did at the hotel, nothing can bring her in a bad or scared corner :-) The bound between us was amidiatly made, she knew right away that it was going to be her and me :-)) So another MUMMYdog has entered kennel Siem :-))

The next morning we got up very early, so we could be at the airport in VERY good time to have time to feed and let Nougat have some air before flying back to Denmark…But this is where the trip to hell begin…

We got to the border i Slovenia and were pulled to the side and a psycho border officer wanted to check the chipnumber and papers of Nougat, which was allright, but after a while he came and said that I wasn’t allowed to import Nougat before she was 3 months and I told him that wasn’t correct since I have checked everything twice and when the rabbies is 21 one days there’s no problem…He wanted to call a vet and make sure and we waited for around 1 hour before a new officer came and said that all the papers was allright but i had to pay tax for bringing her…And it took almost half an hour to be allowed to pay them the money, which was quite a lot and I have later been told that they aren’t allowed to charge me there since I was in transit and Croatia is waiting to be excepted in EU, so they have the same rules in this period…So I need to check the law stuff and make them a nice letter :-))

But we were able to leave with Nougat and that was the most important, since I would under no chances have left her there in a kennel box for 2 weeks in Slovenia…So to all you that were called and texted in the morning for letting steam out..thank you..all survived because of you :-))

Quite late, we drove very fast to Wien and was in the airport 1 one before take off as we were told, but our check in, ofcourse was in the different end of the airport…We were at the check in 50 minutes before flying and I asked the women at the desk if i was the right place to check my dog in and was told to wait and as pollite as I am :-) I waited a bit…and then I asked again and this time she said “yes, you’re at the right place, but please wait a moment” I waited another 10 minutes and I asked again and this time she said ” You are too late, you can not bring the dog…” At this time time all my polliteness was gone and I told her a thing or two… :-((She wanted me to check in and leave Nougat in the airport alone until monday, where she could get on the next plane…YEARH right, like that was ever going to happen…

So I had to find another company and buy a new ticket for Nougat and I. I must say that they were very nice and they even called the pilot to make sure that everything was ready for little Nougat and the worst was that they didn’t want to recieve Nougat any earlier than half an hour before take off, the same amount of time as I had with the other company… So alot of money later and a couple of hours later we were at the airport in Copenhagen where Marie and Axel was picking us up and I was nearly crying at this time, so nice to see a known faces at danish ground :-) Thank you for being there :-))

Nougat took it all like nothing, she just wacked her tail as always and went outside to get some air, she is such a doll :-))

After this day of horror I decided to stay at Maries place since the brigde to jutland must have cracked if I drove on it this friday…We had a nice evening and Nougat had a great time with Maries 4 dogs, they were soo sweet to her :-))

On saturday we came home..safely :-)) And Nougat was meeting her new pack and her and Harry are the best of friends allready..They are quite a couple…I think Harry feels that it was about time we had a DDB at his size again..Since he’s sure that he is one as well :-))

Nougat is a one of a kind but also a rascal of another world, she’s soo naughty :-)) Just like I want them to be :-))

I want to Thank Ditte for her as always nice and fun company :-))

The pictures below is Nougat and Baja taking a nap an the last one is Nougat getting a carrot for the first time perhaps she is mad about this treat and wishing her self back to Croatia…Danish treats sucks…haha.. 

Thank you very much Ivan for this amazing little girl :-))
