Not Only Critters at the Fair

 Welcome to yesterday at the Dakota County Fair!

I'm posting to SATURDAY'S CRITTERS 

and City Daily Photo




Today was our lucky day, we could step up and pet this sweet, faced Service Dog below!




Happiness is found through the eyes of dogs.







"Women and cats will do as they please,
 and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea."
Robert A. Heinlein






This was a lover, the more sweet-talking I did the more she wanted!

"It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like, so long as somebody loves you."



Come One Come All

It's always fun to watch the Shootout at the Fair!






Has anyone seen this bad dude?




Tell me will the town's sheriff get his man? 

Come and watch for yourself!



The Sherrif!

Will he be shot?




"A child who loves animals is an adult who has compassion for people."

Nurturing animals not only instills compassion but empathy.



"Alright Dad the guy on the right definitely has dope!"

"He is tough as galvanized nails, this dog."

and he has heart.




Really kiddos? You bought feed and you keep passing me by? Come back! Please!




"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth."

Muhammad Ali




"Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm; it moves stones, it charms brutes, Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it."

Bulwer Lytton




Every single time you stop in and listen you learn things. These woodworking craftsmen and lovers of the art of working with their hands and wood or metal show us and teach us things we never knew!

I wish I'd captured the expression of amazement on her face! 






Rescues is some people's favorite breed. Above a 10-week-old puppy, rescued and already trained for stunts!



A boy and his cow.




Cow hug-
When you love something hug it tightly as if you'll never let go!

"One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful, and we let what was once a miracle become common to us." Joel Osteen



"Firefighters are indispensable foot soldiers here at home." 

Christopher Dodd



I'm forever grateful for these animal loving folks

 that take time to share their animals with us at the fair!




"If you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done."





"There's no limit to how you'll know depending how far beyond Zebra you go."

Dr. Seuss


"Don't count the days, make the days count."

Muhammad Ali



"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

Winston Churchill

It sounds like you had a wonderful time at the Dakota County Fair! The service dog looks so sweet, and it’s heartwarming to see the joy animals bring. The fair's events, from the shootout to the playful banter about the feed, must have added to the fun. It’s clear that animals have a special way of touching our lives and teaching us compassion.
