The Last Hurrah

international travel with dog - Poodle in Canada


If it wasn't already for certain, Tripp is now officially an International Superstar!  We recently spent a long weekend in Montreal, Quebec for a big UKC event.  This time I actually had a chance to see a bit of the city, Poodle at my side.  Although I'm a country girl at heart, the architecture of the old urban buildings, particularly the cathedrals, was beautiful, and alone made the trip worthwhile.  I just wish I had time to see more.  Our hotel was excellent, and everyone enjoyed meeting Tripp.  Even the owner herself fell in love, going so far as to invite us into the restaurant so the family could meet the amazing Parti Poodle, and insisted we return.  As usual, we were also stopped countless times on the street and at the show for petting, compliments and of course photos.  I will always wonder how widespread on the internet random images of Tripp have become! LOL


The show itself was once again held in conjunction with a huge Canadian pet expo.  It seemed even bigger than in the spring!  Every "domestic" critter imaginable was on display (including some not so domestic, like foxes and semi-wild cats), along with various vendor booths, and again they had pony rides and other family attractions set up adjacent to our show rings.  The arena for the agility, disc dog, & freestyle demos was right next to our rally ring, but thankfully the view was blocked.  Plus it was so noisy in there from the massive crowd that Tripp was oblivious to the nearby excitement, which worked in our favor. ;-)  Certainly the whole thing is a testament to good temperament!  It takes a very stable dog to handle all that craziness, including a majority of people & kids who are totally ignorant of proper interaction with dogs.  Trippy put up with a lot more than he should have to.  Such a good boy!
