Today the Newfie boys got to go the the Doggy Days Festival! It was a little warmer than we would have liked, but it didn't seem to matter to Moose and Yogi. They were very excited to visit with other dogs and take in all of those doggy smells! The festival was very nice and was a big hit. There were a lot of booths set up, some with rescue dog information, low cost pet shots, obedience classes, therapy and service dog information and training groups. We got coupons for a Doggy Wash place that both grooms dogs and has a self wash area too! We are wanting to try out the self serve wash. They do have accomadations for big dogs like Newfoundlands. They have some walk in tubs for the giant breeds and big dogs so that they will not have to be lifted. Also available are grooming tables for big dogs. Of course there were the usual booths with dog supplies such as collars, leashes, personalized tags and clothing. Our Newfies got to meet a lot of nice dogs of all breeds. They got dog treats from one vendor and Yogi used no manners at all! All of his bad food habits come back to him when we have him out tin public. We really need to work on that. He is so good at home and will wait for ever for the okay signal, but he looses all consiouness about manners when a stranger offers him a treat. Their favorite of course was George the Great Pyrenees. He is pictured above with Moose. George was very sweet and gentle and it was fun to see the two breeds side by side.
