And she had time to change clothes between acts too. I suppose she didn't do that in The Hague, so where would she change in this case? The hous eof the CdK maybe?

RTL Boulevard had an item of the visit to the dogs. I believe it is the custom never let the public hear what HM says during these visits. TV station put the sound of (unless it is a speech of course). RTL however did, so HM revealed that she had difficult coming up with a new name for her horses each time (as the lady of the kenel said she had difficulties giving each dog a different name).

Newspaper ' De Pers had a log article about it. Apparently it was a surprise visit. The plan was for Minister Ella Vogelaar to go there and talk, but the Queen accompanied her. When the Queen left she was greeted by many people who heard the news and try to catch a glimp of HM.
It was the first time HM visited one of the problem neighbourhoods of Ella Vogelaar.

And another surprise visit by HM The Queen today! She went to the Johannes Post kazerne in Havelte (Drenthe).In this place relatives of soldiers who are fighting in Uruzgan (Afganistan) gather to get information and to see their loved-ones on a special screen.

I must say a very nice gesture of HM, it has been rather hard for the militairy and their relatives considering the rising number of deaths.

Article in Dutch here and another one here.

Really,in gatherings like these,and so many other moments,she truly is a immensely comforting force.People derive sóó much energy/willpower/support from her through her taking a genuine interest.Love her,for that alone.
