Okay, okay, I admit I'm the kind of person who puts a holiday collar on my pup and takes him to visit Santa. However, I have an excuse this time. Fenway participated in a fundraiser for the Humane Society, so it was for a good cause.
Fenway is my "heart" dog. He turned 14 years old in October and we are so thankful we have had the privilege of being owned by him for all these 14 years. He was my agility dog in his early years and he had a blast running through tunnels, jumping over hurdles and just plain running fast. He was very fast. But being a terrier, he thought for himself and there were days he'd stray off the course looking for mice or chips of horse poo (most of the agility competitions were in horse barns). I never figured out what the allure of the horse poo was - but he loved it!
My trainer used to ask if Fenway was going to run on any given day or was his "evil twin" present. The evil twin was slow and always ran off course but brought lots of laughs.
Fen is a lot slower these days and spends a lot of time snuggled in his bed. However, he loved his visit to Santa where he got lots of attention. He's a very amiable dog and nothing fazes him. We walked around the Plaza after the Santa visit and were even invited into the Kansas City Store to buy a barbecue cookbook. The store is "dog friendly" and has amazing merchandise.
