[pyrnet] CHAT: small Pico brag

[EFPico@gateway.net]

    On Sunday afternoon, I took Pico through the Simsbury Craft Fair. My vet 
told me to take it easy on him the first couple days after the neutering, but 
he was dying to get out. As we strolled through the fair, we got the usual 
questions, but much more attention then I have gotten in the past. It must 
have been a big dog crowd. I was very proud of him in that he didn't jump up 
on or paw anyone. Those two habits have been the hardest to train out of him, 
especially with kids. He even shook hands with a couple kids, which just made 
them light up.  He just lapped up the attention. I do have to admit that he 
did pull me across the aisle a couple times to go socialize with other dogs, 
but he didn't knock anybody or anything over, so I didn't get too upset. 

    There was even one woman there, an oil painter, who took pictures of Pico 
and then asked if I would mind if she included him in a picture she was 
planning. Maybe next year I will see a picture of him in her booth. At her 
prices, I better start saving now. 

    All in all, it was a very good day. 

Elaine and Pico( How much trouble do you think I could cause after you just 
had me fixed...hmmmmm)
