Lucy Goes to the Dog Show

This past weekend, one of our student organizations held their biannual "PAP Silly Dog Show." PAP stands for Pothounds Against Pregnancy and they're responsible for collecting local animals for our 5th term junior surgery lab as well as fostering strays. A "pothound" is basically the name given to any local island dog because they don't really have a specific breed, they wander the streets (but they have "owners"), and often eat the dinner scraps (food from the pot). PAP's goal is to spay and neuter island pets (with their owner's permission) and give them basic medical care at the time of surgery.

Anyhow, they had a little dog show as a fundraiser for the organization, and since Lucy was very bored that day, I decided to take her out for a social occasion. See some doggie friends! She was nervous at first, but by the end she was running around being a little monkey! She had sooooo many dog treats at the event! Enough that she did not get dinner that night and didn't appear to care.

They had 4 categories - a physical attributes category, an obedience category, a costume contest, and a silly dogs category. Lucy won a prize for cutest dog trick. My roommate has been teaching her little things over the last several weeks, so now Lucy will crawl on the floor for food. It's pretty cute. Her friend Elliott practically stole the show he won so many prizes! Lucky for Lucy, his mommy generously shared his hard earned winnings! The two of them are hilarious. Any time they suspected (or knew) food was about, they'd go racing to that persons feet and beg. Lucy at least would instantly sit at your feet, but she was a naughty little beggar!
