We had plans to go but when I saw the dark clouds I thought nope, people will come out but out near Hudson Mills? Near Dexter and where storms are worse? I stayed home. I really hope next year the weather is better. I guess I stay on the side of caution when it comes to the family being out in this. Looked like fun overall.

This event looks like a lot more fun for the dogs than for them to be dragged to the Art Fair in 95 degree weather.

The puppies in picture number 1 are available for adoption through The Buster Foundation. This is Claire and Georgia, both approximately 12 wks old. We have close to 25 dogs available including 4, 12 wk old puppies.

Who let the dogs out? Seriously. Who let the dogs out of the pictures? These miniatures look like some entrpreneur has finally solved Saline's oversized rodent problem - strapped on some leashes and sold those cute little muppets to the caring folk up North. This really does begin to look like a cat conspiracy here. Probably being masterminded by that mysterious cougar.

Ok, I live near Traverse City and I'm used to this area being referred to as "Up North" by people from downstate, so I didn't know you were talking about somewhere that far south. Yes, I do know the difference between "real" dogs and what I don't really consider to be dogs. :)

Lots of people live up North of Saline in Ann Arbor.. Judging by your picture I think you have a clue about the difference between "real" dogs and "toy" dogs..

I live "up north" and I have no clue what you're babbling about.
