Summer Snow Games

Monday, October 20th, 2008

After that last display, the pup’s next stop seemed a bit tame. Though the display was actually a promo for snowmobile parts, it showed a really cute snowman display, along with an interesting video of what people were… and apparently were not… capable of doing on a snowmobile. You stand and actually wonder if you […]

The Puppy Trail

Monday, October 20th, 2008

As you follow the puppy’s winding trail, it amuses you to see what the pup finds interesting along the way.

And, while signing up for a drawing at the term life insurance booth, she almost yanks out of your grasp […]

Yummy!

Moving slowly along, you pause for a moment to survey the possibilities, and the pup snaps up a half eaten hot dog covered with dirt. Sighing, you look up and discover that a placard decrying even more natural remedies, this time for Plantar Fasciitis, is staring you in the face. The pup, now looking happily […]

Making New Friends

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

As you make your way through the fairgrounds, you discover that the pup has never met a stranger.

Well, at least you […]
