Puppies!!!!!!

Keeping with the dog theme, here are some shots taken during last weekend's excursion to the Winter Classic dog show in Novi. We I often scour blogs, email blasts and newspapers to come up with a family-friendly weekend activity. Given Maizey's obsession with all things canine, I added the WC to my calendar and Saturday morning, off we went. (There were no elephant, horsie, train, cheese or Papa related activities elsewhere.) And man, there were dogs. Thousands of them.

I figured it was good exposure if M decides to join me in the business - she needs to see that many of her dog-owning customers are cuckoo unique.

Like this well-dressed lass (and her rapt audience)...

in charge of the duck herding demonstration.

Luckily I was on hand when the well-dressed lass pontificated a titch too long on the wonders of border collies...

GRAHAM!

to the rescue.

When asked what this guy was Maizey responded, 

 "Horsie."

I didn't even know it, but two birds with one stone.

She loved it.

 As did Will.

No really.

 He did.

I didn't have the heart to tell her that the dogs in her life would most likely look like this,

and not this.

But, no matter. She'll always have a dog.
