It's A Car Show, Not A Dog Show

Typist: Wilhelm
This weekend was all about me! I got to go to a BBQ birthday party at the Alaskan-Klee-Kai's house without my corgi and my collie. That's right! Just me and Bethany. I got petted a lot, which I liked. And carried around some, which I did not like. Those Alaskan-Klee-Kai's sure know how to get into mischief and I always love a good birthday party. The Klee-Kai's and I played chase and practiced many different begging for food techniques. I did end up missing Brychwyn and Huxley because those Klee-Kai's don't like to play bitey-face. I don't get it. Maybe it's a girl thing. Sometimes when I visit the Klee-Kai's house I do some tugging with them or with Michael, but this time the yard was full of human games for the party. Bethany said I was very good because I did not bark at the flying football and shuttlecocks. However, she didn't know I was quiet most of the time because my mouth was full of scavenged picnic food! It was a lovely party.

The Alaskan-Klee-Kai's are expert begger-dogs!

Why did this have to end?

This didn't end soon enough!

Is there mischief/food inside?

This is Seneca planning her next mischievous move.

Sakari partied inside (if there was food.)

Sesi & Shilah resting after chase... or begging.

The very next day I got to go to the car show that happens every year in my neighborhood. Car shows are one of those really weird things humans do. They close a street or two, not allowing cars to drive, so they can walk in the street and look at parked cars. It's like a street fair only there isn't as much dropped food in the street for me to eat. I don't really get the appeal of car shows but some of those old cars smell very interesting. The humans polish them and paint them but I can still smell everywhere those old cars have driven! We dogs are not allowed to lift our legs anywhere near the cars and Bethany says "no nose-prints on the cars!" Despite these crazy rules, car shows are still fun for dogs. Every year at the car show I get lot's and lot's and lot's of attention. Just the petting kind, not the carrying kind. After all, it's a car show, not a dog show. (There were so many dogs there; we actually heard someone say that! It was funny.)

A van with a couch? It needs a dachshund!

I'm also a Super Sport!

We know, no leg lifting or nose-prints. Geeze.

The car show was over and it started to rain so we had to hurry home. As much as I love to be out and about, I don't like to be out and about when I am wet. It is my understanding I am going to have to get used to it again, though, since summer is almost over. This particular rain shower didn't last long and, believe it or not, I had the energy and was not too wet for a bit more mischief. First, I played chase, bitey face and tug with my corgi and my collie. Then, I cuddled on the couch with Bethany and Jason. What a great weekend!
