On April 10, 2004 we had our annual Joe Batt's Arm "puppy meeting" in Hargen aan Zee (Hargen on Sea). About 40 Joe Batt's Arm "puppies" showed up, and more than 80 people.

(Voor het geval je mocht denken dat het een portable koelkast is.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Op verzoek kan ik nog meer foto's plaatsen. Ik moet ze dan wel even opzoeken. Zie hieronder de thumbnails van alle foto's die ik van Hargen 2004 heb. . . .

11 PM: Gathering at the parking lot. It's always nice to see so many old friends, both human and canine.

So happy to see you!

. All Joe Batt's Arm people & puppies! . Most Labradors couldn't wait to dive into the waves . .

 

Most Labradors like to swim and play in the water, especially when there's something to retrieve.

. Mommies and daddies are watching their "puppies", taking photographs and renewing acquaintances .

 

It's great to see all these dogs enjoying themselves. The merrymaking isn't disturbed by a single false note.

Almost 40 Labradors in the patio, all in perfect peace and harmony. (You couldn't pull this stunt with Alsatians.)

. . After the coffee one more time to the beach .

 

It's good to see our own outplaced "retired" bitches back. This is our Grace, now called Eef.

 

This is our Tiffi.

 

The dogs just can't get enough of the fun.

. The dogs are getting tired, it's getting cold, it's time to go home. Thank you all for coming, see you next year, 2nd Saturday in April! . 3 hours later: once more the beach is empty .
