One of the great things about going to horse events with the ponies is that “horse people” are inevitably “dog people” too….which means that I get to make lots of new friends!

Like Nemo the Dachshund! I instantly felt a connection to Nemo (hence why I’m giving him a kiss on the forehead) – we do share an uncanny resemblance don’t you think?

Well, except for the fact that Nemo decided to wear his winter coat to the event. I told him it was way too hot in August for fur, but I guess he thought otherwise.

I also got to meet Biggie, who’s name is just about as “tough” as mine. But mighty dogs DO come in small packages – and this guy is no exception! (He MAY have scared the bejeezes out me in the bathroom when I saw him walking on his hind legs, I can’t be certain, but he may be part meerkat. hehe.)
