And that is where I was for five hours last Saturday, having fun, selling books, talking to dog owners, and trying to stay cool. I love animals and it was like going to a dog show like I used to do when I was younger and seeing all the different breeds. And of course it made me want to have one again.
They had dachshund races and dress up contests, just all kinds of things. And they gave away free dog dishes and leashes.
Afterward, my daughter and SIL and their Pembroke Welsh Corgi “puppy”, he’s a little over a year old now, had come in to visit, so that night we went out to dinner and saw a movie, and then all the next day while they were off to see his parents to celebrate Father’s Day, I played with Sir Rilo. Once they left, I jumped on my mss–A SEAL Wolf for Sale. Doing last minute changes, probably 2 days worth, and then it will be done, finished, the end and off to my publisher.

And that is why I’ve neglected my blog for the weekend! 🙂
I want a Havanese. They don’t shed, great personality, and they’re adorable. I had a black standard poodle last, and lost her. I’ve also had a yellow Lab, a white standard poodle, and silky terriers.
Do you have a dog or three? What are they? Do you have any of these? I wish I could have gotten pictures of more, but I was selling and talking to a couple of young writers also, but I really did enjoy myself. 🙂
Hope you have a lovely Monday! I’m back to rereading A SEAL Wolf for Sale so I can turn it in!

Terry,
It looks like it was a fun time. I wish I could have gone. All those dogs are so cute.
I have 3 dogs. A Sheltie named Tanner, a Silky Terrier named Barbie, and a Pomeranian mix named Robbin. This week I’m watching a friend’s 17 yr old Bischon.
Dogs are hard work but they are so rewarding.
Ahhh, Bonnie, I wish you could have gone too. We would have had so much fun. Being around dogs just is refreshing. Love them. 🙂 You do such a great job with taking them in and caring for them! 🙂
I would’ve loved to be there with you and all those doggies! I’m an animal lover too. I have a spoiled rotten Yorkie named Maggie. We are soul mates. But no matter what breed, they all take time and care so if you’re as busy as you are…maybe you should wait for another. But not too long! jdh2690@gmail.com
I so agree, Janice. I love dogs, and cats, and have had them all my life. But I’m so busy right now with trips to readers’ conventions, think I’ll hold off a bit. My animals are my family, so when I get another, she’ll be played with and cared for to the max. 🙂 Love Yorkies. My dogs are always my shadows they become so attached. 🙂
