Shanny Booboo's Vacation to Germany
May 8 - June 1, 2000

Let me introduce myself in case you came to this page directly - I'm Shanny Booboo and I went to Germany with my folks.

This is a small town called Kippenheim on the edge of the Black Forest of Germany where my Dad is from.

My folks decided they didn't want to leave me in a kennel for three and a half weeks so off to Germany I went. This is my travelling kennel, it looks crowded when I'm standing up but there's lots of room to sleep. I must say the commotion at the airport was a bit scary and I have no way of telling you what it was like on the airplane but I sure was happy to see Mommy in Frankfurt. And boy, did I need to pee.... I finally did in Vera's sandbox, whew 12 hours of holding.

This couch in Opa's livingroom was my favourite daytime sleeping area. Of course, I slept every night on the bed with Mom and Dad and at about 4am I started to wander, had a thing about the mirror - just couldn't figure out how to get to that cat in there.

I had to spend 4 days in the Animal Hotel when Mom, Dad and Opa went to Switzerland. Mom was worried about loosing me so thought I'd be safer here. It sure was lonely but lots of fun, I had loads of room and a little door to go to another cage outside. The people here were really nice. As you see, I'm very happy to see Mom.

I had lots of fun exploring around Opa's very old house. I finally found a window to watch the birds.	It was loads of fun poking my head through the bannister on the stairs.
These are the stairs going up to the attic...	They just wouldn't let me through this attic door. I did manage to escape up here once, what a place to get full of cob webs.
Dad brought me to meet all the cousins on the cousin meeting walk. A bit scary but fun to ride on the wagon.	This was the day we went to the Kippenheim village sign to take my picture, Mom let me walk on the grass a bit.
Packing day...this is fun, I love going into suitcases, especially when there are clothes to mess up.	I think I'll just sit here and watch Mom pack as I was banned from the suitcase, poor sports.
Here we are at the Frankfurt Airport in a secluded area so I could roam around. I'm sitting on top of the luggage on the left and contemplating food and water on the right. I even used the "facility"!!
Let me out of here!!	Finally, asleep on my couch next to Dad....
	Helping Mom put the holiday photos in the album.
