Downtown Dog Days

Ella, Paula and I attending the Bangor Downtown Dog Days on Saturday. We bought a Aerobie Dogobie Frisbee from Epic Mountain Sports. Robbie really loves running to catch it (and, I can actually throw this one). Ella then runs over to him and they run around the yard playing tug.

We also found a cool ball at the Grasshopper Shop. It was the perfect size for Ella to herd and had cute ladybugs on it. Sadly, once Blackie got ahold of it, he immediately put a hole in it and shredded the darn thing. Oh, well.

At noon, the Franciscans came for a Blessing of the Dogs. Ella twitched a little when the holy water hit her in the head, but really enjoyed the drooley little boy who was patting her during the ceremony.

We went to the Bangor Humane Society to look at the dogs available there (for Paula) and didn't find anything. Then, we drove around looking for a place for lunch. We stopped at Pepino's, a nice Mexican Restaurant, because they had a place where we could park Ella and the car in the shade.

On the way home, Ella was pooped! She slept the whole way with barely a twitch!
