Every year, we like to attend the Stock Show. We decided to get tickets to the Xtreme Dog Show today. This morning was snowy and icy. We slept late and left the house a little later than we planned. Marina wore a Jessie cowgirl shirt and her pink cowgirl hat with a tiara. We also took our warmest jackets. We quickly found parking and went to will call to pick up our tickets. It was a very cold walk!
We started by looking around the trade show area. Of course, Marina found lots to look at there. We also took her picture with all the rodeo queens we saw. We went up to the kids’ area but Marina wasn’t as interested in the activities there as she used to be. We stopped to eat lunch while we were there.
After lunch, we went to the pavilion for the Xtreme Dogs Pat and Chat. Several of the dogs from the show were there. Of course, Marina wanted to pet them all! One of the dogs was a ten month-old puppy. Everyone wanted to pet him! As the crowds died down, the owner let Marina hold him. She was thrilled! She also loved petting a fluffy Pomeranian.
Next, we went into the stadium and looked at the show animals. We saw several bulls being judged. Then we went to the paddocks and saw bulls and pigs being prepped for competition. One of the pigs was making quite a racket while being bathed.
We made our way to the event center for the Xtreme Dog Show. Before going to our seats, we went to the lower level and looked at the baby animals – chicks, piglets, lambs, calves and even an alpaca.
Before finding our seats for the show, we took a few more photos with Royalty. Then we sat down and had a snack while waiting for the show to begin. Once it started, we both enjoyed ourselves. It began with dogs competing in a skills relay. It was fun. We also watched amazing frisbee catching, a woman with a choreographed dance with her dog, jumping contests and sheep herding.
Once the show was over, we were ready to go home. Fortunately, the walk back to the car wasn’t quite as cold as the walk in.
