To The Dogs

We've had an interesting transformation here at the fairgrounds. In the last 24 hours our park has gone to the dogs...literally.

It started quitely. We saw one RV pull in and pull out a pen that soon became home to two monster dogs. Later, we watched three RVs pull in at the same time. It was obvious they were traveling together. They parked in adjacent sites, and they put out pens, too! Sure enough, the pens were soon occupied by the same kind of extra large dogs. Before we knew it, there were dozens of the same big dogs being led around the campground on leashes.

We turned immediately to the internet.

Turns out there's a dog show here this week. The Irish Wolfhound Club of America is hosting its 2010 Specialty. (Whatever that is!) With a few more clicks we learned about this breed we've never seen. According to Wikipedia, they're the size of a small pony, (Yep!) easy going and have a short life span. We're far from experts, of course. Besides, we're cat people anyway. But, an RV park full of these very odd looking beasts is some kind of sight.

Here's hoping they have a very good show.
