Apparently the tents originally were lined up around the edges of the large field with the food booth, dock diving and some other demo areas in the middle. Well, after the mud fest of yesterday, the powers that be moved 99% of the booth along both sides of a narrow gravel road along one side of the field. It made us feel like we were walking down a guantlet of ??? Well as you can imagine, Remi was not a fan of walking that close to all the people and other dogs. We had planned to leave him behind because we thought that he wouldn't be too comfortable and well three dogs ARE a lot to walk in a controlled area. But Remi ran to the door when he saw me get my leash and that was all it took. He doesn't ASK for stuff often being a shy one, so he wwent with Izzy and I. She did pick him up when we realized that he was going to have a tiny heart attack having to walk in those tight spaces. Izzy didn't help much. SHe kept walking over him in her excitement to see (and smell) everything.We didn't stop to shop much. Mostly we just tried to book through and find the two booths we were hunting for: the kennel club's booth turned out to be only one booth away from my forever friends at the Golden Retriever Rescue booth. Here I am visiting with other rescued red/golden dogs. These people are always the best.
There were about 8-9 of us just hanging out around the booth. We were trying to tell people, adopt our friends.
Well that or collecting back rubs.We also sat at the kennel club booth for a little while. Our booth was at the end of the row so luckily there were no booths across from us. If there had been I don't think we would have stayed. Remi didn't mind just sittin' round the booth visiting. That was not as scary for him. Will have to say that she didn't get too many pictures today. Something about trying to walk with three dogs on leashes cuts down on her dexterity.
Herschel wants to know if Abby ever wears stuff like this?
We watched the "dock diving" a while but don't expect the action shot of the dog in mid air. Did I mention the difficulty watching for the pools of standing water. Remi is not a fan of standing water.
She took these guys pictures just because...she always liked deerhounds....
Here is a whole park of them coming in for water.
The other fun thing that I liked is that we found my favorite animal communicator. I instantly curled up on her blanket(she always sits on the ground when she "meets" us) and I told her that I was the leader of the group and had important work that I did. She just smiled and laughed when I rolled over because I "knew" she needed to scratch my belly. She agreed that Remi thought he didn't belong there and was frightened. She also said that he had a kind and gentle spirit and she thought he would probably never hurt anything on purpose. Apparently Izzy didn't talk to her much. But then again it was Izzy. She often is so busy checking things out she didn't notice that Remi and I were meeting and greeting a special person. I could have sat on her blanket all afternoon, she was just that sort of person that animals appreciate. I had a big smile on my face.
(Editor's note: She said that Herschel didn't think either Izzy or Remi were too bright. She said that Herschel thought Izzy didn't listen or follow directions very well. And that he just thought Remi was not too bright. I shared that because Remi was so shy, he often didn't show what he new.
And I'll bet since Abby knows how much you liked that cute little outfit, she'll show up in one when we all get to AR just to show off in front of Maggie!
