Circus & Cousin Dog

1. Here are the pictures from last week (maybe it was 3 weeks at this point) of a real live circus that came to our town! 

There were two real camels who performed under the big top.  One camel had a taller bump thingy on it's back than the other one.  And since Benji is taller than me (Lassie), Mommy referred to the taller camel as "Benji Camel" and the other one as the "Lassie Camel."

It was interesting seeing Camels in a circus.  The Circus Announcer made 3 announcements right before, during, and as soon as the camel act began. The Circus Announcer said for parents to make sure to keep and eye on their children during this act and to make sure the children stay in their seats. 

Mommy was a little scared by them making 3 announcements like that for the camels. 

Mommy was sitting in the front row at the circus -- so she kept a close eye on her nephew who was sitting beside her.  So, she wasn't fully able to watch the entire Camel act. 

From what she saw, the handler said "Waltz" as the command, and the Camels spun around in a circle.  Kind of like how dogs spin when humans say "Spin."  Mommy thought that was neat because the 2 camels looked like they were dancing.

 

There were miniature ponies at the circus too.  They gave pony rides.

 

We weren't able to take pictures of the acts during the show, butt they had humans and dogs performing too.

 

The dogs did tricks like "Weave" between human's legs.  They also walked standing up on their back paws.  Oh, and there were these brave two dogs who walked on a spinning circle.  It was pawsome.  The dogs looked very happy the entire time.  They all had big smiles and all were full of energy.

 

The dogs even got to play on a sliding board -- it was like a comedian act.  The dogs were pawsitively our favorite part of the circus.  

 

Mommy shouted "PAWSOME" while holding our picture of flat Lassie and Benji under the Big Top. 

 This is a picture of us Flat Lassie and Benji under the Big Top before the show started.

 

Here is a picture of us with souvenirs from the circus.

 Here is a picture of Mommy under the Big Top at the Circus.  How did we let this picture of Mommy get into our blog -- oh well -- I think this makes the third picture of Mommy to ever make it onto our blog.  (Mommy is the one on the left -- not the clown.)

2.  Our Cousin Dog got to sleep over our house for  a few nights last week (or was it 2 weeks ago).  It's all kinda a blur.

We did all the formal butt and other private parts sniffing ceremony.  Butt we kinda had to keep refreshing the butt and private part sniffing ceremonies throughout his entire visit with us.  Things were a little tense in the beginning and we all had to wear our leashes and stay in separate corners.

 By the end of his visit -- we were getting along ok.  I think we would have needed another few days together to really be best friends.  Butt, we came a long way. 

 

Mommy dressed our Cousin Dog in Bunny Rabbit ears.  (I think he enjoyed it.) I know Mommy had fun.

If you couldn't tell before, our Cousin dog is like a giant compared to us.


Have a great night.

PS. Our Park Day Bingo isn't going very well.  We aren't giving up yet though!  I think we filled in the "Free Space" and a couple of other spaces.
