Mutt Strut

Today we went to the Mutt Strut and it was FUN!  There were dogs everywhere and lots of activities going on.  We headed straight for the area where Greyhounds Only had their tent.  Miss Donna from the group has been emailing Mama and we finally were able to meet her in person. 

A flyer announced that we were there!  We were celebrities for the day. 

Me. Scout, Bryn and Scout.  Yep, another Scout and she is a girl, too! Bryn and Scout live with Miss Donna.

This is King Kong.  He weighs 96 pounds, but his racing weight was 106.  He looked taller in person than this picture shows.  He is a nice guy and loves to lean.

Mama said I was a really good boy.  I tried to get all the other dogs to play with me even little dogs.  I made people laugh.  I had fun!  Did I say that already?  BOL!

We got tired, of course.

Scout spun the wheel at the Petco table.  She won a tennis ball.  I know a certain greyhound, Flattery, that would have been very excited to win that. 

There were pools for us to drink from, but we preferred standing in and them and then we got drinks.

Scout had to step in everyone of them.

Scout watched some dog shaped balloon fly away.

The Greyhounds Only group made us feel very welcomed.  We talked about our travels and living in a motor home as well as greyhounds, of course. They invited us to more events and we will probably attend some.  I think Mama and Dad had as much fun as we did.

Buddy Got Mail

Buddy, the scooter, got mail. Can you believe that?  His accessories arrived.  He still doesn't have plates though.  BOL!

Buddy now has a cup holder and a little storage area. Mama forgot to take a before photo.  Basically there was just an open area that you could store stuff, but it didn't seem very practical or safe.

The cup holder can come out and then it will hold bigger drinks.  Above the drink holder is a cell phone charger.  Above the closed storage area is a bag holder.

The storage area is small, but it will hold a wallet, cell phone, camera or maybe a GPS.  Mama thinks she needs to have a GPS with her just in case she gets lost.

Buddy now has a snazzy cover instead of a blue tarp.

The campground owner told Mama that she is looking good on the scooter.  Mama asked if she looked scared and she told her no.  BOL!  Actually, Mama is gaining confidence and is ready to hit the streets, but it will probably be another week before the plates arrive.

Dad said he saw a lady older than Mama riding a scooter. She was stopped at a light.
Mama:  "Did she looked scared?"
Dad: "No"
Mama: "What color was her scooter?"
Dad: "White"
Mama: "Did she have both feet on the ground or just one?"
Dad:  "Both"
Mama: "Was she wearing a helmet?"
Dad:  "Yes, a full face helmet."
Mama:  "Hmmm, older than me?"
Dad:  "Yep"

Dad is not much of a talker, but he was excited to tell Mama about the lady on the scooter.

We are going to the Mutt Strut tomorrow. We are not "mutts" and we don't "strut", but we are still going.  BOL!
