It was a gorgeous day, the pooches did an amazing job yet again today especially with all the excitement, people, noises, horses, tractors, sirens, music, etc... They were all so well behaved, luckily they get used to the horses and other farm animals here as we wouldn't be able to bring them! We were right behind the horses today and they didn't even care! We brought our 2 NARC dogs (Casey and Tila) and a few rescues such as Poochie, Honey, Max, Oliver and Puppy. 7 volunteers came to walk with 7 our of doggies, we passed flyers, had made a banner for NARC, doggies were wearing new collars with "bling bling" and new leashes. I gave them all a bath the morning of as the grass was wet and of course the few white dogs got their paws all black from running in the wet grass then sand! Couldn't bring dirty doggies to the Parade now could we... Some of the town's people recognized NARC so that was pretty good and we are sure everyone enjoyed our pooches, especially the kids! We got a lot of Ooooh, Aahhhh, Cute, Look at that one and of course the "you shouldn't have told me he was up for adoption!", etc... Many were amazed at how well trained, quiet and good they all were.
They were all pooped when we got home! Poochie wanted to be carried all the way back to the car, guess it's a long walk for a tiny little house doggy! Honey made it almost all the way back, she probably would have but I took pity on her and carried her back to the car - she looked exhausted and was almost falling asleep when we took break before heading back to the cars!
We made a mental note that next year, we should leave a car at the Navan Fair to drive the doggies and us back to the "start" location and our other cars as it is quite a long haul on a hot day! Or, get someone to pick us up! Certainly hope we don't forget it...
