What a crazy weekend! I don't know how the people do it. Saturday was the Pet Expo and the nice folks at Misty Creek asked especially for me to come out! Well...being the kind of guy I am, how could I say “no?” I got there bright and early to discover that this day would be more rewarding than merely being a spokesdog for the rescue. Do you know how many people were there to give me treats and pet me? I was happier than a dolphin in a vat of mackerel.What a day it was too! I was the only dog who made it through the whole day greeting people. Everyone wants a puppy, but a puppy can't pace himself like I can. Oh yeah. I spent the whole day wagging tail and perking ears and soaking up ALL the attention. Those silly whipper-snappers were all energetic for the first few hours and then crashed. Best part though, was showing everyone how perfect an older fellow like me can be. That's right...why get a puppy when you can get a dog who is happy to get attention, happy to be left alone, never has an “accident” in the house, doesn't jump and is just an all-around good friend. Now, I'm not knocking puppies – heck, I was one at one point. I'm just saying that I'll be a great friend to you and a super easy to keep companion. I'm like your Tim Horton's coffee – ready to go with no fuss, no muss.Anyway, foster mom was shocked that after such a hard day at work on Saturday that I'd be up for helping her in the yard on Sunday, but when she was ready to go, I was ready to help. Sure, it helped that I spent some time basking in the warm spring sun. (How lovely that was!) She raked up the leaves in yard that were left from last fall and I kept track of them for her. I also patrolled the yard to make sure that she was safe. I mean...there could have been an angry squirrel or a stray cat out there! I kept her good and safe and kept those leaves in order.This next week is going to be a lot of fun too. The niece is coming over, so I'll get a kid to play with me and love me for a bit. Mom says that company is coming this weekend too, so MORE PEOPLE TO LOVE ME! I'm so happy.Before I go, I just want to say thank you to all of the folks who came to the expo and showed how much they cared. I was so happy to know that there are so many pet lovers out there. I hope that one of you will soon become my forever family.Love, wags and cuddles,Jhettsu
