A word from Papa

Papa wants to share a story about me.  I will yield today's post to him.

The Adventures of Lily, The Very Busy Beagle

This is a story about a small dog named Lily Mae. Lily is a beagle, not very tall maybe about 12 inches at the shoulder. She is one and a half years old and is a VERY busy beagle. Her day starts with a trip outside to take care of her personal business. Then it's play time. She romps and plays with the other dogs at home. Or she rides in the car with her owner who has to travel a lot for her work. Her owner takes Lily wherever she goes. Lily loves to look out the window from her pink car seat as her owner drives down the road.

When her owner stops for gas or food Lily gets to get out to stretch her legs and to sniff the ground. Being a beagle she loves to sniff stuff, a lot of stuff. She loves to go to new places so she can sniff new stuff. Here is a chart so you can see just how her day is divided.

I know what your thinking.  Her day adds up to 110%.  True.  She IS a very busy beagle.

One day Lily & her owner had the weekend off. So they decided to go home for a visit. Grammy & Papa loved Lily and her owner very much. When Lily got home she jumped out of the car and ran to the front door. As soon as she got in the house she jumped up on her papa’s lap and cuddled with him. Papa loved to play with her. Her favorite game to play is tug o war with a rope.

On that particular weekend the family decided to go to a Renaissance Festival. There was so much to see and do and smell. Oh Boy! That was the best part.  Lots of people dressed up real funny and lots of food smells in the air. Lily was a very, very busy beagle that day.
They walked every where and stopped to watch other people and dogs and to talk to them. One man, gave lily his turkey leg that he was eating on. He said he couldn't finish it and that Lily could have it. Lily was delighted! She finished up very quickly and then it was on to see the other things.

She saw a very funny looking pony. The man said it was a horse/zebra hybrid. It looked like a regular pony but it had stripes on the back of his legs. Lily was very curious at the sight of this funny looking animal and she went very close to the fence to sniff it. She was very skittish about getting too close to the fence. A very wise choice.

The next thing she found was a dog park. This is a fenced off area just for dogs to run with other dogs and make new friends.

This brave guy survived a house fire.  Those markings on his face are scars.  He was a great dog & ran around with Lily in the dog park.

After the park Lily watched some jousting.  She was getting tired and the loud noise from the horns made her nervous so papa held her.
                                                 
Soon after the group decided that it was time to go home.  Lily was one tired beagle and she slept all the way home. Soon she would be all rested up for her next big adventure!

The End.
