Ben was the Mastiff representative at the 2008 Wisconsin Dog Fair held in Madison, Wisconsin on Sunday, November 9th. He was an excellent boy all day long and met literally hundreds of people. It owes to his breed and his prior training that he was able to take it all in stride. He nuzzled babies, let kids romp with him, greeted elderly people in wheelchairs and was as sweet a boy as any other of my dogs that I have ever done this with.
We were in the working dog group and so we were across the aisle from two Dogue de Bordeaux, Mudge and Dozer, to our right was a Bullmastiff, another Dozer, and to our left, across the way were three Dogo Argentino and a Spanish Mastiff. I was in heaven.
We were emailed some pictures that I will share with you tomorrow when I get a chance.
Till then, I am at work and have some stuff to get done so I’ll chat at you later.

So although I stayed up much much too late last night I was up early this morning so that I could get some food made for my co-workers. I was being quite energetic and had decided to make a true German Chocolate Cake and Corn Chowder to commemorate how cold it is getting tonight!
First thing after i woke up and let the pups out I hopped in the car and headed to Walmart. I picked up a couple things I had forgotten yesterday and got home and back to work. Three hours later I had loads of food prepared and even relaxed on the couch to read a couple chapters out of “Eclipse”.
Work has been moving right along. I’ve been working diligently on some extra work related items and that has my head swimming all hours of the day with ideas and “what ifs”. It’s been fun. It has actually re-energized me back to my job. Burn out runs rampant in this field and so it’s just good to know that yes, I can decide to like my job, even on those bad days.
The weekend coming up is going to be fantastic. I feel like a kid before Christmas. i am just so excited. I’ll keep you updated as we go along!!! I’m really looking forward to the Dog Fair on Sunday, but have some pretty awesome plans for Saturday too. Monday and Tuesday I have to fnish some things at home and I’ll be able to start the next week with renewed energy again! All is definitely right with the world. Who knew???
