The king came by to visit. This is the first time ever I have seen him visit the booth. Wonder if it’s the rain that was falling…

Zucca asks: “Can you open this gate please?”

Callista is sure a pretty girl:

Kurt hopes Guinevere can protect him:

Dazzle was pooped out:

T and Zucca work the early crowds:

I’ve been hypnotized by those Merlin eyes:

Harry the foster dog had NO problem at all getting attention. What an outgoing pup!

Sunday pictures up late tonight or sometime tomorrow.

Twas a busy weekend. Saturday was out to faire for opening and hanging out there until about 2pm. It was the usual suspects manning the booth. Was nice to see all the pups and their people. Got talked into subfostering next weekend for someone going out of town. That should help me know if I am ready for full time fostering stuff yet or not. At 2pm, I headed back home and met up with my friend C and his girl. They were in town for a reunion and got to visit with me some when they weren’t doing reuinon stuff. After pondering a bit we went out to the hibatchi place on 104th. Very nice. Good food, sushi, and a guy waving knives around and causing gigantic bursts of flame. Then, back home to watch a movie (american beauty, since C had never seen it. ).

Sunday was another faire day, except sunday I was out all day. The weather was perfect. 70’s and overcast for most of the day. Merlin was being very bouncy, so I took him in the parade. He did spins at the first part of the walk he was so happy. Walking that deathmarch with my chainmail on was pretty tiring, but in a very good way. After faire I headed home and got the pups fed and such. C and girl got held up in traffic, and we didn’t end up going for food until very late, but it was still fun to chat with them some more.

Now it’s monday and time for working, then dropping C at the airport.
(OH, pictures up later today/tomorrow hopefully)

Just got back from walking the boys (Yes, I am dumb and we walked at the hotest part of the day).

We had a nice hot walk and when we got back to the house there was a rabbit in the front yard. This was however not a smart rabbit (if such a thing exists), but rather a mentally challenged one. We walked up the front steps (me pulling Merlin and Merlin pulling to get the rabbit), and then the rabbit decided to run. Running away wouldn’t be too bad an idea, except something misfired in it’s poor little head and it ran right past Merlin. If I hadn’t had a good grip on the leash that would have been one dead bunny. As it was he escapeed with just a tumble and hopefully not too many bite marks. Perhaps I should have let Merlin have it, since I don’t think this rabbit is going to survive long in the wild.

Here’s some pictures from Sunday out at the Faire:

They call it “syncronized sleeping”:

I’ll post Sunday pictures tomorrow…

This weekend was weekend 2 of the faire. It was a bit bittersweet for me being out there without Twyla in tow.
We were also very low on people manning the booth, so I pretty much spent all my time hanging out there.

I will do a photo post of all the pics I got this weekend later today/tonight…

Two little things hit me particularly hard this evening:

• When trying to decide what to make for dinner, I thought about one of my fav’s: Blackened shrimp with pasta. It’s pretty quick and easy and very tasty. Then I remembered the best part was making extra Linguini and feeding it to Twyla after dinner. She loved pasta. She would stand there wagging her tail as I handed out each strand.
• When loading the dishwasher, Twyla was always the “pre rince” cycle. She would happily lick plates and silverware as they were put in the dishwasher.

I miss her so…

Both the boys are jumpy today and hanging out upstairs most of the time.
Neither one of them ate any breakfast either. They know Twyla is gone for sure…

Just when I think I have everything under control, I go reading the thread on the greytalk forum
remembering Twyla and get all weepy again. ;(

I am going to try and go out to the Faire this coming weekend with Kurt and Merlin.
I think it will do both them and me some good to be around friends and hounds…
