Conifair 2006

So now that we're greyhound owners, we're supposed to get involved with the adoption community. It's a sacrifice we have to make if we want to look like good people.

Nah, seriously, it's just fun to go out to events and let Maggie sniff other greyhounds' butts.

Chris was busy this weekend going to Business School Orientation and Super Fun Summer Camp, so I took Maggie out to this little fair in a mountain town called Conifer. They call it Conifair. Sorry.

On Saturday, it rained and rained and rained. But today was beautiful, and lots of people came by and petted our dogs. Everyone wants to know the same three things:

1. Do they run around all the time? (No. They sleep. All the time.)
2. Are they supposed to be that skinny? (Yes.)
3. Are they good with kids/other dogs/cats/goats/horses? (Depends, depends, depends, don't know, don't know)

So we had a great time, and now Maggie's down for the count. She'll sleep for the rest of the day, even more than usual. Here's some pictures.





There's my Maggie (in the blue collar) being super friendly.




Here's where it got weird. I'm not sure what these animals were supposed to be, but judging by the stickers on their chests, they were stumping for a political candidate. The dogs went nuts over these guys. They just couldn't get enough of these bizarre giant dogs.
