Well it’s the fourth of July and Chatham has an annual parade which attracts not only the tourists but especially the local folks from several of the nearby towns. We began the morning way too early at 7:00, parking, and walking to look for the Kiwanis Club-sponsored pancake breakfast. It took work to find it, but it was worth it. We took turns waiting outside with Josie, attracting many admirers as usual, and finally snuck her into the cafeteria as we munched. We thought we were completely unnoticed, with her lying peacefully under the table, until we saw several small children crouching and looking at her in amazement.
She did great in town, again, despite all the commotion, movement, and sometimes loud sounds. And once again she drew countless visitors of all ages, and drew out many stories about dog ownership, most happy, and one that ended up with the dog (a Hungarian Couvage) being given away by its family, flown to a ranch in Texas where she’d be more free to growl and threaten the livestock instead of small children.
When we got back, after an hour-long car ride that usually takes 10 minutes, she parked herself in front of the fridge and crashed out, totally.
