That'll do pig....

I happen to be a huge fan of the movie "Babe."
A cute talking pig and a farmer who does a jig.
A perfect combo.

On Saturday we decided to go to Soldier Hollow for the Sheepdog Festival.
Unfortunately no farmers doing the jig and no pigs in sight.
Just actual sheepdogs herding sheep.
Bummer.

It was interesting to watch and Emmy cheered on the dogs. She was convinced the dogs were saving the sheep from the Monsters, or the Farmer, or whoever else they needed saving from.

I have no pictures from the actual sheepherding. No farmers doing jigs = no photo ops.

So we'll just settle with these two.
Em and Jeremy at the Bow Wow Luau Dog show.
Emmy was more than thrilled that one of the dogs was also named Emmy. I think I might be deaf still because she cheered so loud.

Us city girls can't be trusted to milk a real cow.

The Splash Dogs Competition. Jeremy took this picture and he was very proud of it. So because I love my husband and encourage him whenever possible, I promised to put his photo on the blog. Good job honey. Good job doggie.

Hottest day ever.

So once upon a time, when I was a little girl, my mom used to rent videos called Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop. She was a ventriliquist with a puppet named Lamb Chop. I loved Lamb Chop with all of my 7 year old heart. I even had a stuffed Lamb Chop of my own.

I was pretty excited, almost completely giddy, when I heard that Shari's daughter was going to be performing with Lamb Chop at the Sheepdog Festival. And even though I sound like a dork, I couldn't stop smiling through the entire cheesy show. I just love that little lamb.
Emmy loved her too. So much so in fact that she wouldn't allow me to have my picture taken with Lamb Chop. She had to do it "all by myself."
So while I didn't get to be in the picture, it was just as cool for Emmy and Jeremy to meet a childhood icon of mine. And yes, I realize that most of you reading this are going "Who the heck is Lamb Chop??????"
