Hey, what's up, dogs? Just wanted to finish up our 4H festival thread, which was interrupted when my human unexpectedly took Spunky and me on our trip to San Antonio.
Anyway, at the 4H fair, there was a tent specifically for dog-related activities: obedience testing and relays, agility races, and so on.
Hmmm. The other dogs are all impressive, in their own way. But I bet none of them can write a blog!
(*grrrrrooooooooowwwwwwwlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll*) "Good heavens!" Grandpa Angus exclaimed. "What was that?" Whoops...sorry. That was my stomach. I guess I'm getting hungry. "Well, let's hurry and get you some grub, laddie!" Grandpa said.
So we headed for the midway and the food stands, checking out some more sights along the way. We saw some stuffies waiting to go home with their new owners...
And also a juggler. He was fun to watch. I've never tried doing this, but Ajdin has done it before.
Here's where all the little humans were playing...
And finally, we came to our destination: the food stands.
"So, what would you like, laddie?" Grandpa asked.
Oh my gosh. There are so many choices! I don't know what I should eat first!
Cheesesteak sounds good. Or maybe I'll have meatballs. Or...
Wait, wait, WAIT. What is THAT over there???....
Oh...my...goodness. These are the doggone biggest bones I've ever seen. Hey, Grandpa! You gotta see this!
Grandpa's eyes grew wide.
"Oh my stars!" he exclaimed.
I can't think of a better way to end our 4H experience than with a huge, juicy, meaty bone. I'm going to have to sign off for now, because I'm drooling too much to talk...but we'll see you next time! Hope you enjoyed!
Hey, what's up, dogs? Today we're back to our series about the 4H Agricultural Fair. Still lots of stuff to see here.
"Hey, laddie!" Grandpa Angus called. "Look at these tractors." Man. Those are some big machines, Grandpa.
"Indeed they are, laddie. Big and powerful." Grandpa sighed a bit wistfully.
Are you okay, Grandpa?
"Sure, laddie. It's just...I always wanted to have a little farm of me own." Really? I didn't know that... "Oh yes. Well, maybe someday. Oh...look over here!" Wow...a racecar! That's right....this fairground used to be a speedway. They don't race cars here anymore, but they make a mighty fine display. Looks like this car has a trophy to its name.
Next up, the Produce tent. Since I'm a meatatarian, I'm not overly excited about this display, but it's still interesting.
For instance...why did the bale of hay before me win First Prize, while the bale behind me won Second Prize? I can't tell the difference.
Grandpa found some really knobby melons. He said they remind him of his rheumatism.
Hey, what's up, dogs? This week on the blog, Grandpa Angus and I continue our tour of the 4H Agricultural Fair. In our last post, we showed you the sheep and the goats.
This time...I see cows! Hey, you guys! Where's the beef?
Err...on second thought, maybe it's not polite to talk about beef in front of cows. What do you think?
Over here we have llamas and alpacas. My human has told me to keep a healthy distance from the llamas, as they are known to spit.
That didn't seem to stop this gentleman here:
Unfortunately for
Little Fox, there were no fully mature chickens on display this year,
because of the risk of bird flu. But we did see some newborn chicks...
So tiny. And a little wobbly.
And over here we have a rabbit named "Honeybear." I thought this one might interest my bear friends. It is kind of honey-colored, isn't it?
I'm loving this fair. I wonder what sights we'll see next?...
Hey, what's up, dogs? Today Grandpa Angus and I are going to the 4H Agricultural Fair. There should be sheep, cows, goats, and horses. I can't wait to see all the cool--
Err. Hmmm. This is an unexpected setback.
My human decided to be sneaky. She hid us in her backpack and sneaked past the officials. Don't tell anyone, please. First stop, Sheep and Goats. Awww...look at those baby goats!
The sheep below had just been sheared. We were glad for it, because it was about 90 degrees outside. Can you imagine...wearing a wool sweater in that kind of heat? Poor sheep...
There was another sheep that was having a baaa-aaaa-aaaad hair day. Heh heh, get it? Baaa-aaa-aaad hair day?...
Here's a basket of spun and unspun wool. This'll make some nice cozy sweaters when winter returns.
Looks like we're done with the Sheep and Goat Exhibits. Wonder what's next?...
