Today is a good day to relax and recuperate! Loosy and me went to the Washington County Fair yesterday, the 31st of July , 2010. Loosy has never seen nor met animals other than one horse, several cats and dogs and a couple of squirrels........until yesterday! First I must tell you Loosy's breed........she is of a new breed, there are only 7 of her kind (she's included in that number) on this planet! The breed is called Phorbried which is Golden Retriever, Bull Terrier, Australian Shepherd & Border Collie. Some one said "Oh, you have a mutt." I didn't miss a beat and replied "No, in my Queendom we don't have 'mutts', we have New Breeds!" Loosy has the intelligence of all of those breeds and doesn't look like any of them. She does silly, loosy-goosy things but is still quite aware of what is happening. Alright, we went to the fair and I took her to the dairy & beef barns....she sniffed noses with a couple of cows turned to me with a look of "Okay, and this is to excite me how?!"! I laughed and took her to see the sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, pigeons, bunnies and exotic birds........she gave me the same look! She was more concerned about the people walking around then the animals! She trusted the animals, the humans freaked her out! I do understand that feeling, too! She even had a pig snout pushed in to her butt and that didn't make her move a whisker...there were people walking in front of her and she didn't trust them! We had a great day walking around a fair ground I've not been at for over 30 years. I think the last time I was at that fairground I was in a horse show. We raised Appaloosa horses when I was growing up and I did Halter Shows with a couple of our horses!
This is an experience I'd not even thought of in my earlier years as an adult on my own....to go to a county fair in my home town! I had a ball and loved watching my little Girl get to meet other species that walk this planet! Well, that is the fun of the weekend for now. Love, ZaZa
