Saturday I took the kids and Tenchi to the Zucchini Festival in West Stockbridge, MA. They had a pet show first thing and then lots of games and booths and even a pony ride. There were two other danes in the pet show, a blue and a black. They were really sweet and very laid back. :) Tenchi was happy to meet someone closer to his size. The other danes won Best Costumes(they were ballerinas ;)). Tenchi won the Most Lovable award(even though they spelled his name wrong lol).
After the pet show the kids did Zucchini races. They got to pick out their Zucchini and then it was placed on stakes on a car bottom with a little flag on a toothpick on top. They had a blast! Then we went to wait for the pony rides, but instead of a pony they took this horse out of the trailer that was like 16-17 hands! Tori was extremely happy since she has never ridden on a horse before, Spencer wasn't too sure. So, we're waiting in line and they go to put the first kid on the horse, a 3yr old boy. The horse rolls its eyes, throws its head back and tries to rear and take off!!! WTH? I turned to Tori and said, Nope! Sorry hunny, but you are NOT getting on that horse!" Tori was pretty upset, since she's in the "little girl in love with horses" stage. I felt so mean. Can you believe they'd have a horse that skittish for kids' pony rides? To top it off while we were walking away, the dad and handler were still trying to put the kid ON THAT HORSE! :o
Anywhoo.... here are the few pictures that we took, a couple of the blue & black danes and a couple of Tenchi with his Most Lovable certificate. :D

Way to go Tenchi ;D ;D ;D

-
Way to go Tenchi ! Great Job
-
WOO HOO congrats
-
Congratulation s.
-
Those danes won best costume?? Come on! Nickers makes better costumes than that!! Did any other dogs even have costumes??
anyway, congrats to Tenchi!! He looks like he thinks his award is delicious!
-
Was that a scratch and sniff certificate? looks like it smells good. :)
-
LOL Nope, no other dogs had costumes, can you tell? ;) I was surprised that they didn't give Tenchi "Biggest" but that went to a newfy mix who was considerably smaller. Oh well, I prefer the Most Lovable. :D
Tenchi really loved his certificate since the kids were helping carry it around... after they had eaten Super Chocolate Chip Cookies in the 100 degree weather. Hmmm, makes one wonder why he was so interested in it. ;D
-
Congrats to Tenchi! He looks so adorable in his photos...he does look very interested in his certificate! :D What a beautiful boy!
-
Congrats to your big boy! He certainly looks lovable!
You should definitely contract out Nickers to make costumes next time. Those other pups wouldn't stand a chance with a Nicker original. Of course, you may have to deal with multiple fittings, Nickers cursing, numerous cocktails....b ut you'd win hands down!
Love you Nickers! :-*
Tenchi is so cute! I love him!
-
Tina - LMAO!!! I got it....
-
Congrats Tenchi!! I can believe you win most lovable. You look very lovable.
Last weekend, at Woofstock, Gunther won longest tail and biggest paw in the male division. We didn't get a cool certificate, though. Only cheesy door prizes.

YEAH!!!!!!!!! Tenchi. After meeting him I can fully understand why he won. He is the biggest sweetheart, have I mentioned how much I love this boy LOL
