Monty's Big Day at the Track

Yesterday was "bring your former racer back to the track" day at Wonderland Greyhound Park, where hundreds of people bring their greyhound for a day of fun, food, and fabulous prizes. It's kind of like visting your old work place when you're retired, right? You go over once in a while to have coffee and donuts with the old crew. OK, maybe it's not, but Monty likes to see other greyhounds...they're the only other dog that he's not afraid of. All day long, they had the "fun run", which we might enter Monty into next year...they clock the speed of each dog and take pictures during the race. It was amusing to see him watch the other dogs run...he started running with them at one point.

If you look closely, you'll actually see that there are dogs racing on the track there.

They also had exciting activites, like clip your dogs nails for $5, and let your dog paint a picture...which you can't do until after you've had his nails clipped of course. Here's Monty painting...I should duplicate this and sell it on EBay as limited edition prints painted by my dog. Don't think they wouldn't sell.

And lastly, there was the pet communicator...how could we NOT go for this. Although what she had to say that Monty was thinking was interesting, I have trouble believing that Monty is talking to her. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's my opinion.

Hold on a sec...

What Monty...did you say something? Oh...he says that I don't know what I'm talking about. I've been corrected. ;-)
