I do public appearances. It’s part of my job. I do a lot.
There is a common thread before each one. I don’t want to go!
Most of the time I don’t feel that way when the event is over. Saturday was no exception. The event was “Paws in the Park” in South Windsor.
Helaine had girlfriend plans so Doppler and I settled in the SUV and headed north. This event was totally dog friendly!
Doppler has a little area with leash installed in the front passenger seat. Within the first five minutes she had managed to wrap her leg and become immobilized! That’s never happened before.
I was a judge. Theresa LaBarbara and Steve Parker were there from the old place. Beau Berman was there from FoxCT.
It was like a home show or travel show, but for dogs! There were tables with vendors and rescue organizations. There are lots of rescue organizations.
We judged a best trick, dog kissing contest and sitting version of musical chairs. The vibe was good.
I managed to get five new “Don’t go to sleep yets.”
After two hours we got in the car to go home. Doppler was bushed! I left the leash off and let her lay down. I guess dog days are like dog years!
I see a Komondor puppy! And greyhounds and happy people and dogs. Wish I could’ve gone – glad it was a success and you and Doppler had fun!
Close….he’s actually a 6 year old puli. 🙂
Geoff – just a warning. I don’t know if you have a way of turning off the front seat airbag, but if not, Doppler probably ought to be in the back – airbags can be dangerous for dogs.
Geoff, you didn’t mention Ivy that I could see. I know that was hard for you and the girls but the dogs you do have don’t take her place but do help with the sadness.
Do you have a method to brush a mildly fiesty dog’s teeth?
Hi Geoff!
My father was at this event, and had a sheltie with him and actually made the news! He said “don’t get out of that chair” or something along those lines. He was so proud and said you were such a nice person to meet. I was wondering, is there anywhere on the Fox CT website where I can find that televised clip? Thanks!!
