My Adoring Public

Remember last week me telling you to come out to the KVPAC Arts for All Festival? If you didn't make it out on Saturday, you missed THIS:

Yeah, you missed seeing me do my best tiger impression, minus scary teeth and hunting prey. Bet you wish you came out to see me instead of whatever else  you were doing on Saturday, huh?

At first, I was a little miffed that my WT people were exploiting me just to draw attention to their awesome booth. They told me this was payback for all my antics back at the ranch. I don't know what they were talking about. BUT THEN, I realized, this tiger paint is a gold mine for my favorite thing...attention!

I'm so famous even human celebrities want their picture with me!

Then there were the kids...have I mentioned I LOVE kids? (even kids dressed as cats are a-ok with me!)

So, after being hounded by the paparazzi and mobbed by my adoring fans for awhile, I thought I could take a break, have my stripes repainted and gear up for  my next shift.

The next shift brought two humans dressed as animals, which if you ask me, rates up there with tollbooth collector as the worst job, especially in ridiculously hot Katy, Texas. I think the Chick Fil A cow was either scared off by my oh-so-terrifying tiger impersonation or his giant cow head was making it impossible for him to hear requests. Whatever it was, he didn't want to get too close. Oh well, I'm over it. At least the chipmunk was friendly.

So we all had a great time on Saturday. Today I'm back to just being Wyatt- barking at the donkey through the fence, scheming on how to get extra treats, and greeting our daycampers and boarders. The limelight was nice, but I need a few days away from the flash of the camera, thank you very much. I'm already worried what they're going to paint on me next year.

Come One, Come All!

This Saturday, March 26, I, Wyatt, along with my WT crew, will be hanging out at the Arts for All! Family Festival at La Centerra. Come on out, bring your kids (both 2 and 4 legged) and have a great time enjoying live music, games and activities, and of course loads of fun at the Waggin' Tails booth. We'll have hair-painting for the kids and frisbees, pats, and hugs for the dogs. I hope you'll drop by and say hi!

Shadows

Every time I've raced my shadow
When the sun was at my back,
It always ran ahead of me,
Always got the best of me.
But every time I've race my shadow
When my face was toward the sun,
I won.

Spring Break is Almost Here!

It's been a busy week. Between watching Charlie Sheen self destruct, doing my taxes, and preparing for the upcoming influx of Spring Breakers at the Ranch this weekend, my mind is spinning! I am excited about Spring Break; the kiddos are out of school and are dragging their parents to Disney World or the beach, and their dogs are coming to hang out with us at Waggin' Tails. We are expecting a full house, and are hoping for good weather all week to maximize our fun! And what will be doing all week? Swimming, running, sniffing, and well, "Duh, Winning!"

Let the Little Children Come to Me

The dog was created specially for children. He is the god of frolic.

Henry Ward Beecher, Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit

This is my buddy, Grayson. Doesn't it look like we are both deep in thought? I love when kids come to visit me at the Ranch- I'm all about greeting them with a kiss, letting them pet me, scratch my ears, and of course, give me treats. And yes, I double as a pony for the ones who are under 20 pounds.
