Yesterday we attended the Chester Dog Fair. We love to do AKC Meet the Breeds events, to help promote the rough and smooth collie. But this time we had a booth to promote and educate the public about therapy dogs. Our friends, Kenny & Judy, brought their therapy collie too. As our therapy dogs are collies, we had three smooth collies with us, and about half of the people stopping by our booth wanted to learn more about them, and many said they were going to research the smooth collie as a future family dog. We also had another therapy dog team volunteer to join us. Pattie and her golden retriever, Shamrock, were both wonderful. (And I fell in love with her beautiful boy, he was so sweet!) It was a long, hot day, but I think it was very successful in promoting therapy dogs and the great work they do. The dog fair had some great vendors, and some great dog rescue booths too. They had a variety of food trucks, including a doggy ice cream truck! They were doing CGC testing, had live music, and even a beer and wine tent. It was such a fun Fair, since the public was invited to bring their own dogs with them. The fair is being held today too, if anyone in CT is looking for something fun to do! (We won’t be there today, we only signed up for one day)

Java Bean: "Ayyy, what?! There are doggy pie-eating contests? Why didn't I know about this? And do they have taco-eating contests too?"
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great event.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day.
ReplyDeleteHi Guys! Wow! It must be fun to do a fair! Us cats would NOT want to do anything like that (well maybe Angle Nellie Bellie would) but our sisfur Nutmeg would LOVE it! I bet she would love to meet you too! Mom says she is still a little rambunctious because she is a puppy, but she is learning how to be a good canine fast. We will be back! Keep being awesome Marvelous Marv
