So today was the annual picnic for our Basenji club. It was held at Lure Coursing Fanatics in Somers, WI.
There were lots of Curly Tails present...Menchi spent the day as an honorary Basenji. There was lure coursing which is one of Menchi's favorite things to do. Watson also ran the lure and was very happy to find that it was not just a plastic bag in this case, but there was some actual fur attached as well...He wanted to take it with him.
The dogs also got to meet some very tolerant rats that the lady that runs Lure Coursing Fanatics uses to train for barn hunts. She brought the critters out to talk about barn hunts to the rest of us and to see what the dogs made of them. Watson thought the were pretty exciting when they moved and I am sure he was picturing them on a slice of bread with some cheese and a parsley garnish.
Menchi was not at all sure what to make of these new beings she encountered... She smooched one of them eventually once she decided they were safe to get close to. So not the idea behind barn hunts :D
I failed on the picnic level...I had made food to bring and left the entire thing at home in our fridge and only realized it when we were almost at our destination >.<
Sabe and I get to eat a lot of Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad...
