We went to the Utah Arts Festival last night. We put on
Racer’s cute purple disposable booties to protect his paws from the hot
pavement. The temps were in the 90’s. We stayed in the shade the entire time
and listened to music. We bought some food and I put a bowl of water down for
Racer and after he drank from it he proceeded to lie down on the water. He didn’t
exactly lay his face in the bowl but he positioned himself so that his neck was
in the water. When we stood up, I felt his cold dripping neck and said, “What a
good idea Racer.” He had stopped panting. Last year at the Arts Festival I
remember hearing lots of people walk by us and say things like, “what a cute
dog.” This year it was all about the booties. “Look at his cute purple mitts” “Ahh
did you see those paws!” I think about twelve people stopped and asked if they
could pet him and we told them no. We got the chance to educate people about why
it is best not to pet service dogs. Bob said it was just funny to see people
walking by and they would be frowning and then they would suddenly see Racer
and his cute purple booties and a big smile would emerge. A couple of people
asked if they could take his picture. Racer definitely steals the show wherever
we go. He is our little celebrity.
