We were thrilled to share our weekend with our good friends from Germany -- Angela Kleinhans of MoonRise Aussies & Simone Schneble - Quinn's mom.

We were thrilled to meet their friend Charlotte from Denmark. Charlotte shows Aussies with Bitta & studies Human Medicine. Our visit was too short - only 5 days.

They enjoyed the Specialty and shopping! Today they left for home in the company of Ch Thornapple Pillow Talk & Thornapple Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Simone, Angela & Charlotte we will miss you!!!! We hope you can visit & join us for the Specialty again next year!!
