Our visit to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival

Yesterday Squishy, my sister-in-law Sara, and I went to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival located east of Woodburn, Oregon. From Salem it was about 60 miles round-trip for us, and the three of us had the joy of riding in my 2-door sports coupe. Squishy did quite well in the back-seat considering his size, and Sara did quite well considering the amount of drool coming from Squishy's mouth.
The main reason for taking Squishy was to expose him to a crowded environment with a mixture of kids, adults and other dogs. He did very well. He could have cared less about all the people. The only thing that caught his eye on occasion were other dogs. However, the use of the halti (head collar) made the experience better for me because when he did pull I didn't follow. Here are some pictures of us at the Tulip Fest!
