On Saturday, we took Stormie and Breezy and went to the NW Pet and Companion Fair. This is a fun local event that features all kinds of vendors and demonstrations. It is a great opportunity for us to take the girls out to meet people and to advertise our clothing line.
This year they had a Dock Dog exhibit, which we had a lot of fun sitting and watching. Even more fun was watching people who had brought their dogs for the day try to teach them to leap into the pool after the toy. The girls lay on the bleachers next to us and seemed to be interested in all the action. We quickly learned that it was similar to being at the killer whale show at SeaWorld, however, and the front row was NOT the place to sit.
One of the other exhibits was a jungle/reptile show. There were all kinds of snakes and lizards, and a skunk (!) in an open pen that you could pet (no thank you!). There was a cute wicker bench with a jungle setting for a picutre taking opportunity, so we thought it would be fun to put the girls on the bench and take their picture.
As you know, this is not normally a challenge to get Stormie and Breezy to pose for pictures, but this time they were very distracted. Right next to the photo area were cages of wild animals. There was a Ocelet cat that was making some growling noises and a Coatimondi that was very interested in looking at the girls.
In the end, we didn't get very great pictures, other than this one. Look at their expressions. Stormie is terrified and just wants to be back safe in my arms. Breezy, on the other hand, is all attention. I don't know what that cat was saying, but she was ready to take him on.
Rest assured, everyone was safely kept in cages, but we left the area quickly.
Too many big cats looking at my dogs like they were a mid-morning snack.
Nice Pics. I love Maltese
