We had a blast this last Saturday. We drove down to Salt Lake to Sugarhouse Park and met with our friend Belle and her handsome Airedale Rudy at Strut Your Mutt.
Here's me with Rudy (left) and Grizzly.
I was really looking forward to meeting other Airedale owners and their dogs. After asking around, I probably only met 4 out of 7 or so...but that's okay, we had fun! The main event is a 1.5 mile walk around the park...there were SOOO many dogs! We saw lots of "mini Airedales", Lakelands, Wire hair Fox Terriers, and Welsh Terriers. Then there's an area with lots of booths (doggy acupuncture, dog bakeries, doggy outfits, etc.) and entertainment by people and dogs. We missed most of the entertainment, but we did see the big pool with a ramp for dogs to jump into.Half-way through our walk we met Nicole (Airedale rescue in Utah) with her HUGE boy Triton (blue collar), and another lady fostering a 'dale, forget their names...Grizzly and Triton were wrestling like they were best friends. Griz looked so tiny compared to him–usually people are telling us how big Griz is!
This last pic is of Griz sneaking behind the table of a booth. Probably just wanted to be in the shade. I had to take a picture–it looks like he's handing out free samples :)
Here's some video coverage of the event. Griz didn't like the "communal" water either :)
