Medical Detection Dogs get to wear Ferrari Red Jackets because we're awesome!

Hello followers….well I’ve been having a lovely time recently. I was lucky enough to be taken to a local classic car and beer festival at our local pub The Carpenters Arms on 31st August 2013 with L&M. The sun was shining and there was the wonderful smell of BBQ in the air <drool> which always makes me feel happy and hopeful that someone will drop some food for me. As always I was on my bestest behaviour as I was wearing my work jacket and it’s surprising how many of these classic cars matched my jacket colour (I suspect this was done specially because they knew I’d be attending, however L says this was just a coincident…but I still have my suspicions). 





The afternoon was spent looking and sniffing at the lovely cars and meeting lots of people. 


I even do impressions of classic cars...

Can I have a burger now please?


Everyone wants to know about the important job I do and to talk to me. People seem to always be looking after me, bringing me some water and making sure I get the best spot to lie in. I did have a little fright though as someone dropped a tray of glasses very close to me, but L and I are cool when unexpected things happen ( I often hear L explaining to people that I am “bomb proof”). She just told me not to move as there was broken glass all around us, she checked me over to see that I was OK and once the glass was cleared from the area she navigated me to a safe place where once again she checked my paws. I really thought I might get a sausage for remaining so calm but no such luck! So I just had to make do with the smiles and strokes I got as I posed for photos. I even had to protect the pint which was put on the floor with me, to capture the fact it was an Ale festival, as well as a car one.



It was a fun afternoon and lots of people attended. I think L said we may get to go back again next year for it, as it could well be an annual event at the pub. Maybe next year I’ll get to have a drive round in one of the red cars. I can picture me arriving, head lolling out the window, ears flapping behind me in the breeze…maybe wearing my sunglasses and impressing all the other doggies there!

Woof woof,
