I Spent The Day With Mom

We had a busy week-end here. I went with mom to a puppy fair - yep, a puppy fair. It was at a clinic in Knoxville and we had a ball. Mom got a lot of people interested in Trupanion - so that was great - but mostly I got a LOT of attention!!!! The vet sponsoring the day chose little 'ole me to be the one he held when interviewed by the TV stations - so I was all over the news on Saturday night. Then I got to meet the famous LADY VOLS - and they liked me way better than that smelly dog SMOKEY - Here are pictures from the day.



I saw a doggie that I thought was TANK - and I ran up to him - The silly thing totally freaked out - wouldn't even let mom get his picture!!!!

There was a guy there from the doggie bakery - he kept trying to give me treats - but he quickly discovered that I'm picky. He agreed to make some cheese sticks special for me so mom will go by later this week and see if I like those.

Please forgive mom for not visiting bloggies too much - but she is really busy! We'll try to get around this week.
