Iggies at the dog show

Saturday I went to the Seattle Kennel Club Dog Show to see the Italian greyhounds. I recognized most of them from the show I went to last summer.



I also watched several herding demonstrations. It was fascinating. Oh, also agility trials. It's amazing to see human and dog working together.



When I was done Steve brought Sophia and picked me up outside of the Qwest Field Event Center and we went down to the waterfront and went for a walk. We walked to the Ivar's outdoor seafood bar and had fish & chips. I shared mine with Sophia.

Later we went out to Alki for a walk and Steve to fly his new kite. But it was VERY windy, too windy for the dog. And she got very scared of Steve's kite, since it was making really loud buzzing sounds when it was flying overhead. She started barking at it and hid under the park bench. We had to go down the street and sit outside a coffee shop and wait for him to get done. I held her on my lap to try to protect her from the wind, and talked to several passers-by who asked questions about her. It was a great day!
