Dog Day Afternoon Report

Sheila on Activities - Sun, June 22 2008

I just got home from Dog Day Afternoon (and grocery shopping). It was pretty neat, but there were an awful lot of dogs. I tend to ignore dogs completely, and go for the people. I did get to meet Batman, Lexi, Connie, Curt, Mamma Muttblood (again), Erica, Rocko, Waylon, Waylon's mom, Kirby and Hoover's mom & dad, Ojo & her mom, and the entire Dachaholic (sp) crew. Barkey Fife lived up to his name and barked at me, but I just ignored him. Mom said I was being a bit of a diva, but I got a bit spooked. First it stormed, then somebody popped a balloon! Mom gave me some special medicine to "take the edge off", and it really seemed to help a bit. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it a lot more without the storm. As we left some nice man with a camera asked me to pose for a picture. He said I was really pretty. Of course I let him!

Its not fair, not fair at all. Sheila and mom come home smelling like all these people and dogs, and I didn't get to GO! Mom also gave away MY pocket-full of treats to Rocko. What's a guy to do???

I'm glad you got to go, Sheila. It sounds like you had a good time!

what was I, Sheila? Chopped liver? Well, it's understandable since I was on Mom's shoulder when I met you and not on the wet street. I'm glad you got to enjoy the day (after the storm)

You got to meet me, too!!! My hooman sis was with me, she may have been holding me, I don't know. It was great to meet you and your mom. Too bad we got all wet!

I remembered to add Ojo and her mom after my initial post. I'm very sorry I missed Lola. I was a bit stressed out. Ojo, you must have been posting while I was fixing!

We left when it started raining, so we must have missed everyone. We did get to see Mama Muttblood though! She let me stand by her booth to catch my breath and take a break from the crowd. I was pretty nervous! I tried to get mom to carry me several times, but she said I was doing fine. Well, when it started raining, I had had enough!! I freaked and pulled against my harness. Mom carried me back to the car while dad held an umbrella over us. Mom said I did very well, and I got some treats too!!

Boy, do I know the feeling!! See Beverly's post all about how she got to go! Well, poor Minnie was home alone in her crate! I didn't even get to take a walk this afternoon because of the rain. I guess I shouldn't complain though because mom and I snuggled up for a nap, and then we played ball together. I got treats too!

Oh I wish I could have seen you all.....but Mom didn't go because she thought it was going to pour down rain! It didnt though! Although her and Dad left with these really long poles and came back kind of wet....so maybe it did! I was left at home all day and now Mom is mad because I am SUPER playful...(see her post entitled "UGH!" ) now I am being forced to lay down and watch her read a book while drinking this awful looking green drink....I am sucking up to her though...so maybe next time I will be able to go to a fun event like this!

We were pretty hard to miss. Four Dachshunds and two ginormous humans wearing Dachshund t shirts(Dachsaholic and wiener dad shirts). Maybe you had left before we got there or dad was sitting down with us so you only saw us one at a time. Sorry we missed you.
