In the past month the county council hosted our annual pet show. The pet show was open to three to fourteen year olds and any type of pet was allowed. There were several classes including: dogs, cats, barnyard animals, and water animals. Categories included obedience, costume, and appearance. The obedience show incorporated the sit and stay, heal, figure eight and finish commands. One of the contestants was a four-year-old boy, who had a pet Labrador who when commanded to sit, could stare directly into his owners eyes. The costume show received a great turnout of seventeen entries. The finalist was a young girl and her dog Benji. The girl was dressed as a catsup bottle, and the dog, a Chihuahua was dressed as a hot dog. The second place winner was another young girl dressed as Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" and her dog as Toto. I had a great time organizing the children and their treasured pets. PS: Keep collecting those pop tabs.
