Renaissance Borzoi 2009 Pictures

It’s been over a month since my last post, and over two months since my original Renaissance Borzoi 2009 post. My excuse is the usual one: Mom’s far too busy with silly things like work to type up my posts for me. This time, however, she does have a bit of a legitimate excuse – her hard drive on her computer died so she had to have her entire system rebuilt. She had most of her files backed up, so she didn’t lose too much. However, one thing she did lose is all of the pictures she and Dad took at the 2009 Arizona Renaissance Festival. Fortunately, she had processed the pictures for this post before the drive died, so there are still versions of the most important pictures they took – the ones with ME in them! And here they are…

Me and Peaches, the boss lady, riding to the Festival

The picture below shows me wearing the new, extra large “Donation Dog” silk that Mom ordered so I can help collect donations for the Greyhounds while I’m working with them. Of course, some of the bigger Greyhounds can wear this silk, too, but it was made to my measurements. Isn’t it stunning?

My new finery.

More pets

Hi. My name's Sergei. Love me.

Pets from kids are best.

Jack tells me these kid-carriers sometimes carry treats. Sadly, I didn't find any.

Would you believe it - more pets for me!

And, of course, in the afternoon, the Queen and her ladies escorted me around the faire.

Me and all the pretty ladies

The Queen and I (it should be a musical)

I seem to attract royalty. Here I am with the Queen, the Prince, and the Princess. Oh yeah, Mom's there, too, but she's not royal. She's just Irish.

A good-bye hug from Her Majesty

Alas, those are the only pictures to survive the great hard-drive crash of 2009, but some is better than none.

With luck, Mom will be able to help me with my next post before another month passes, but if I were you, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
