Barktoberfest 2014

We always know that we have arrived at Barbara Curtiss's Barktoberfest when we see Denis's fabulous sculptures!  Our mom would sure love to own one!
Or two~~
This was Molly's very first time to Barktoberfest with so many people and Airedales and AiredaleWannabees and she was nervous but still wanting to meet every peep and every pup.  
The first thing we did was to take a walk up Kent State Mountain and this AiredaleWannabee was our leader.  The peeps think that a nice vigorous walk will tire us pups out so they can have more fun!   HA!

 This is Molly after the walk.  She's a frothy mess and she wouldn't take a drink of water and she refused cookies.  Who refuses cookies?  She's still a nervous Nelly at this point. 
The peeps thought it would be entertaining if pups put their heads through the cut-out in the  pumpkin so I gave it a whirl~
 Molly is meeting and greeting and getting more comfy finally - yay!

There were lots and lots of Airedales. 

 This is handsome Basil~
And this is Winston~

There were puppies!
And they stole the show like puppies do!

This is Rosie.  She was a rescue from the age of 12 weeks old.  She is now almost 3 years old.  She's the most unusual color and she's such a beautifully sweet girl.

I hope you don't plan on putting that crocoDale costume on me!
 I guess she did!
 This is Basil again. He's a stripper ☺

 Are you practicing to become a Greyhound, Molly?



Molly is finally feeling more comfortable.
 Yup, she's happy now!
 Can we please go back again today?   I'll do better - I promise!
We sure did have a blast!
Mom bought 2 ornies for her Airedale Christmas tree.  No, we have not put our Christmas trees up yet.  It's too early!  This small tree lives in our hallway and it stays there all year long.  It's only a foot tall. 
We sure did have a fun time and we can't wait to go back next year!

So until next time...........

Love ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly

  14. That's a fantastic day out. We think you could have another during the year....maybe two.

    Blogger was soooo slow this morning that while trying to load your post, SHE cooked bacon and it still hadn't loaded. We had to try again later and it worked...go figure.

  26. Oh my, we're so late on the commenting front! But Barktoberfest looks like the best day ever. Poor Molly feeling overwhelmed (Digger makes 'frogspawn' too when he's worrying) but great that she got into her stride. xxx
