Saturday Mom tood Granddog and I to Wag Fest in Brookfield. It was a perfect day to be outside, although the pools they had scattered around the grounds were a welcome break from the sun. Thank goodness Mom didn't have me try the lure course again. She finally figured out that I have no interest in chasing plastic bags around a field.
We strolled, ate, drank, visited, and of course, I was greatly admired. Mom put my 'Diva' scarf on my harness (bright yellow with copper print - it goes wonderfully with my coat), so people were especially impressed. Granddog had Mom get my fortune told. The gypsy was quite correct - I do like to dress up, including my Halloween and Christmas collars with the special trim.
Granddog got tired about the same time I did, so Mom took us both home. What a great day though!
Tonite was a totally different story. Mom asked if I wanted to go for a ride (duh, is Lassie a Collie?), and I said YES! But she didn't tell me we were going to visit some wonderful people, and that's exactly what we did! They had a nice house with lots of good smells, and two wonderful children who thought I was 2C4W (that's too cool for words). They were noisy at first, but I forgave them because their noise was excitement at seeing ME. Jumping Bean, the little boy, could barely hold still long enough to give me treats. The little girl, Charm, was just bewitching. She learned to scratch my back, how to tell me when to sit, and then got them to take me outside! She took the leash and we ran up and down the driveway, walked around the grass (there are some things dogs have to do on the grass, you know) and she showed me their backyard. Then she would just look at me and smile that charming smile, and I just melted. I told Mom that we HAVE to go back there, both soon and often!
Oh, I almost forgot, the kids have parents who also appreciate my type of dog. Where other people see aloof, they see classy and tidy. They don't want one of those dogs that jump up on people and slobber all over them. Obviously my kind of folks!
Life just keeps on opening doors and offering new experiences. I sure hope you have some of the same. Happy Dreams cyber-friends!

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed meeting you and your mom at WagFest. I don't know if you remember, but your mom ordered you a beautiful leather & gemstone collar. We got the new leather collars in today - the nice post man brought them, you would have liked him.
We couldn't wait to make your collar - and picked out some beauteous gemstones to go on it. You are going to look and feel very special when you wear you new collar from http://www.4PawCreations.com. It's a one-of-a-kind original, custom made just for you, our very first celebrity. Hope to see you and your mom soon. (we'll mail your collar tomorrow)
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Mom just read me your comment and I am SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!! I remember you too! You have GORGEOUS stuff for elegant-minded pups like me. Thanks so much for letting me know. We have a nice post man too - he brings me TREATS every day!!!
ReplyDeleteMom is researching 2 different website companies, and is already planning the party when it launches. You will DEFINITELY be invited - in fact, she may have to talk to you before then for permission to link to your website and jewels for the party!
