had a surprise |
for Arthur and Dagmar |
|
|
Andreas handed her over a bouquet |
and Arthur received a bottle of wine |
|
|
and look at this nice "poster" |
which show some of our hiking pictures from
the past |

What a surprise |
Thank you very much, Andreas! |

Shortly after receiving these presents |

This picture had been taken from the castle |
Burg Frankenstein |
|
|
Dagmar and Gino had to go up there |
All the way up there |
|
|

Dörthe came along |
|
|
We were very happy, that Family Donnelly also
was able to make this hike, with her youngster Valerie, a daughter
of Indi |
On the patio of the restaurant, what a beautiful
view! |
|
|
Waiting for lunch |
to be served |
|
|
There was enough room for everyone |
Jana with Athos and Indi |
|
|
Gino, just like his Dad "Tyson",
always on the lap |
This must be a Barrett trait, Thor does the
same |
|
|
On the way |
to the grass area |

Always going downhill |
|
|
Around 6 PM they arrived back in Pfungstadt |
at the training place |
|
|
Our American friends having a good time |
All of as sudden Tyson came around the corner
|
|
|
carrying a red red bouque followed |
by several Barretts with garlands around their
necks. |
|
|
Proud Tyson |
Where is Hundemama? |
|
|
Or there she is |
This surprize really got to her! |
|
|
Just look at these beautiful dogs |
|
|
Selina held a speech |
and handed Dagmar over two foto collages |
|
|
of her beloved Tyson |
Dagmar was speechless |
|
|
Selina wanted to continue with her speech,
but was not able to do so, emotions came up |
After a short moment when Dagmar was able to
talk again, she thanked everybody for their wonderful presents, |
|
|
Dagmar thanked everybody for their presents
|
and she also thanked Andreas and Selina for
their long-time friendship |
|
|
and last but not least |
she thanked her family for their support and
understanding |
|
|
for this time consuming hobby she has |
Stefan handed over a present to Selina and
Dagmar |
|
|
for their friendship, without them two he would
have not started with the dog sport again, which he had quitt
many years ago |
Grandchild Cassidy was also there with her
parents and her aunt Jessica |
|
|
Around 7.30 PM Barbeque did start |
and as we see on these pictures, |
|
|
everyone was having a good time |
and it must have tasted very good |
|
|
Jennifer together with her husband and friend
Matze |
Jana and Stefan |
|
|
The evening started with one of our funny games |
Who is the best in blowing out candles |
|
|
Boy, did them two blew with all the air they
had |
He was almost eating the plate |
|
|
and yes, he was a winner. But what happened
to her? |
The ballon dance |
|
|
was next |
Try to dance with a ballon between each other
heads |
|
|
They did very well, |
they were not allowed to hold on to each other |
|
|
Then came the next position, hold the ballon
with your stomache; on this picture we see Dörthe with
Jason |
The third game only someone had a chance, |
|
|
who could shake their hips |
Everyone laughed so much |
|
|
Boy, did he try |
and guess what, at the end it was Jason against
Selina, and guess who won: Jason Barrett |
|
|
Then was another funny game on the plan |
Always one chair less than people on the floor |
|
|
when ever the music stops, |
everyone tries to catch a free seat |
|
|
Four people left, |
trying to catch that empty seat |
|
Only two people left and guess who was the
winner: Again Jason Barrett |
|
|
Here we see another Barrett, |
but this time a four legged friend |
|
|
named "Tyson vom Haus Barrett" |
He is showing us how they made him and other Barretts |
|
|
look so nice, when handed over the presents |
He is "Hundemam`s four legged Love and
friend for life" |
|
|
He still looks so proud, even at an old age.
He is almost 12 yeears old |
|
|
The presents which were given to Hundemama
for her 10th anniversary hike found a special place in her
home. This one is hanging over the table on the patio |
|
|
With this card some of the participants thought
of something special to give to Hundemama. They collected money
to pay the new pictures on her new dog trailer. We see Funny
and Yakko`s picture on this one side |
|
Dagmar does not want to coment following collages,
which she received as presents from her friends Selina and
Stefan. As she wrote above, she was speechless, when she did
receive them. Yet she likes to translate the sentences on the
one collage, because she truly believes in this meaning:
in German: "Ein Barrett ist ein Freund
fürs Leben"
Translated into English:
"A Barrett is a friend for life" |
|
|
Every day from now on, when she steps in her
front room or on the patio and she sees these wonderful presents,
she will be reminded of this special weekend!
Without all the Barrett-families
this wonderful weekend could not have been held! |
|
In the next few days we will put in a link for more photos
and videos |
