Hurricane Oliver

This Saturday we went to the Exceptional Foundation Chili Cook Off 2010. It was a beautiful day and the event was packed with people, strollers and dogs. Oliver was on his best behavior all day...he didn't jump, steal anyone's chili or pop a squat in the middle of thousands of people.

To reward his good behavior, we took Oliver to the nearby creek. Labradors were diving into the water all around us, and Oliver jumped right in after his toy. Lots of little kids were playing across the creek, and my mom suggested Nathan throw Oliver's toy so all the little kids would get splashed. (Just a side note: If you know my mom, you know that this was her idea. She loved scaring my brother and I.) Oliver was leaping into the water splashing the kids as the adults around were egging us on. Meanwhile, an unsuspecting little girl and her fluffy friend were happily playing by the water. Here is a picture of her Yorkie puppy.

As this little girl was walking her puppy along the bank, Ollie leapt into the creek for his toy. A tidal wave drenched this poor puppy and little girl. I'm sure the dog had a no idea what hit him. The little girl ran off with her not so cute, drowned-rat looking puppy. This is what the puppy looked like post Hurricane Oliver.



This Yorkie will probably never get close to the water again.

P.S. Oliver had a wonderful day and was the cutest dog there!
