Outlook Nebraska Vision Fair

 Boy, did we have a busy weekend !!  Mom has been talking to me about doing another booth like we did this fall but this one would be inside. On Friday, Mom cleaned house then Mom and me loaded
up all the materials and stuff for the fair.  Thank goodness I was driving with Dad to the fair because there wasn't much room left in the back of the Ford.  It was a real treat to drive with Dad since I have never been in his car before !!  Dad said I was his co-pilot.  COOL !!
 Mom picked up Miss M on Saturday and they headed out before Dad and I.  I was soooo excited that Miss M would be with us.  I have really missed her this winter and was concerned she might have forgotten some of her commands.  I thought I would work with her some while we were at the fair just in case.  I gave her an A after command training.  She did soooo good and had not forgotten her skills even with all of the people and distractions.

When Dad and I arrived our KSDS booth was already set up and ready to go.  People started to come by our booth right away.  We had visitors who were interested in KSDS Guide dogs and some were even interested in being a puppy raiser.  I sure wish I
could have talked to the visitors

like Mom, Dad, Miss M, Grandma T,  and later Huxley and her puppy raiser Shirley did.  I was soo excited when Huxley showed up.  I saw him this fall when he was at the booth with us and he got his cape then at Christmas Bell Ringing.
Miss M and I walked around the

fair some and we met some really interesting people.  There was this BIG green person, three other working guide dog puppies and sooo many people who wanted to pet me.  Later in the day Huxley and I went out and walked around too.  Huxley got a lot of attention but that was OK.  He is a puppy - a big puppy - and people always like puppies.  Miss M did some command training with him and he picked up on everything very quickly.  I didn't give him a A but he probably earned a B+.

On Sunday, Dad, Mom and me went back to the booth.  It was just us this time.  That was Ok because it was not as busy as it was on Saturday.   Dad and I walked around off  and on while Mom stayed at the booth.  Dad even bought some Mexican food for dinner.  I was looking to see anyone was selling puppy food but didn't find any.  Dad stopped and talked to several people who had booths there too.  Kind of boring for me !!  When it was all over we packed everything up and Dad went and got the Ford.  It was a tight fit coming home with little room for me in the back.

When we got home Mom rested and I took a nap.  It was a long weekend and I was tired.  Dad did a few things around the house then we all had dinner.  Everyone was early to bed.

I am so PROUD to be a KSDS Ambassador.

Changing lives one paw at a time !!
