Nuts for Mutts

The highlight of the weekend was taking der hunds to the "Nutx for Mutts" event across the Valley. [livejournal.com profile] martes and [livejournal.com profile] auryanne (plus Banjo & Rondo) piled into the dogmobile and drove over to Pierce College (home of the Toros, apparently).

Mutts are the stars of this show: I'm not sure if this is actually a sanctioned mixed-breed dog show (I doubt it, with categories like, "Best Kisser" and "Fastest Eater"). Tonnes of neat dogs: it's fun trying to guess what mix certain dogs are.

Two interesting bits from this show: the dealer who had all the dog-treats at 4-legged nose level who good-naturedly said that they expect and accept a lot of "shoplifting"; the show (run by "New Leash on Life Animal Rescue") is too libbie for me: they had NO MEAT at the people-food stalls! Tofu-this and Garden burger that! The guy selling garlic fries lamented not being able to sell sausages and burgers. So did I! What up with that?!?

Rondo finally got fitted for a fashion accessory (Doggles). Rondo says, "Hur! Boss-cool, eh?"

Our wards: Banjo-the-dingo and Rondo-skunkface

Rondo and Banjo investigate a Borzoi (big!). The world's only 2-D dog.
