As most readers know, I'm training to become a therapy/comfort dog in the area. It's a growing trend, especially in hospitals and nursing homes. I'd really like to work with children because I loooove their soft little hands and kissable faces! In order to pursue my dreams, Mom says I have to go to school and engage in social activities (like the Dog Fest!).
The Dog Fest was so cool. We meet up with Mom's friend Kayla, her mom, and their dachshund, Giget. The dock dogs were AMAZING. We sat on the hill and watched for a long time.

| Giget's mom took this picture. I was trying to play it cool while Gig checked me out. See that older couple? I don't know them, but I was trying to make friends the entire time. Hehehe. |
We walked around and I got to try out agility equipment. (I really liked the catwalk. Climbing is kinda' my thing.) Mom's other friend Erica was there, too. Her mother and puppy-brother Bo hung out with us for a while. Bo is a HUGE black lab, but he was friendly. His mom told us about another event and my mom thought I'd like it. Boy, was she right!
They had a string track that pulled a plastic bag along. Mom paid $10 (for 2 runs) and set me loose. It was so fun! I never get to run that fast at home! I did the whole thing in 16.8 seconds! The leader was 15.3 (?). Mom said she wants me to practice this and get even faster!
I had a totally awesome day and I followed all the rules. I made sure to sit before the kids pet me and I was very submissive with other dogs. On the ride home Mom captured this gem:
-Enzo
Side note: Lylee exhibits anxious behavior and aggression toward other dogs, so at this time she's unable to attend these types of events. (Mom and Dad are working toward re-socializing her and re-introducing her to the dog-world.) While Mom and I were out, Lylee got a peanut butter bone AND she got run of the house all day. What the heck? I never get that.......
