Bark in the Park
Frankie got a treat today. Lancaster had their annual Bark in the Park and we (Frankie, Parker, and I) wen to check it out. There were dogs everywhere! Booth featuring all kinds of dog supplies, treats, and organizations. Plus there were a few activity booths. My favorite was "Race the Wind" where they use a radar gun to measure how fast your dog runs. Frankie -- 33 mph, and that was without a warm-up! Plus, in the 12-2pm heat, he was the fastest large dog, which earned us a t-shirt. I think Frankie's favorite booth, though, was "Finders Keepers" where your dog goes into a pen and gets the keep the first thing he finds. The incentive for the human is that a few of the items have numbers which are linked to prizes. While we didn't earn a "human prize", we did get a tennis ball which Frankie obsessed over for the rest of the outing. (Unfortunately, since he had to be on a leash at the event, his chances for a game of fetch were pretty close to none.)
He looks so happy. And now with a new ball to destroy, he'll be even more chipper. Maybe Geoffrey can throw it real far like he always does and Frankie will be busy for hours trying to find it in the dust cloud he kicks up. :-)
ReplyDeleteAww...so cute. A day just for Frankie - and he's an award winner at that!! Way to go, you over achieving doggy!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry Cat, just for you, I'll send over a box of dog biscuits with the number "3" taped to the bottom.
