Lucy’s First Rocktoberfest

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Wow, did I ever have an exciting Sunday. Dad drove me and Mom way up to the top of a big mountain, and I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. My ears even popped! Once we got parked and out of the car, I knew it was going to be great. I could hear people, and what’s better than that?! If you remember, Xena got to go last year right after we adopted her, and she got wasted on beer float foam!They didn’t have beer floats this year, so I didn’t get a chance to do that!

We walked to a covered place called a pavilion where the Wurstbraut band was waiting to play. It seemed like Mom and Dad know all of the musicians, and a lot of them came over to pet me. One – I think his name is Ray – let me kiss him on the lips and kept coming back to love on me some more. His wife – Carla – sat next to me and Mom, and I think she is the dog whisperer.Every time I got a little nervous, I scooted between her legs and she helped me to calm down. I didn’t even mind sitting with her while Mom and Dad did the polka.

At first, the loud band really freaked me out, and Mom had to take me far, far away from all that racket. That was ok, ’cause there were lots of people walking around who wanted to pet me. I would look at everyone with my friendliest expression and wag my tail so hard that my whole body wagged. There were other dogs there, too. Some of them gave me a friend request, and I always answered with a yes!

Did you know that my Dad teaches polka? Oh yeah, he’s great at it. Everyone dances and laughs and I can tell they are happy. I wanted to try to help teach like Angel Lexi used to do with the ballroom dancers, but I wasn’t allowed to. I still made friends with one of the students.One lady even came out of the lesson just to meet me!She pet me and we got to be friends.Sunday is sometimes me and Xena’s day to not eat breakfast. Mom calls it fasting, but like Xena is quick to point out, there is nothing fast about those days! So, when Mom bought me my very own basket of Rocktoberfest sauerkraut to eat at lunchtime, she made me promise not to tell my sister. I convinced her to give me some of hers before I promised. But wouldn’t you know, the first thing that little schnauzer did when I got home was smell my breath…and she knew! At least I didn’t break my promise, right?

By the end of the day I was so used to the band that I just chilled with the wonderful Carla. Finally, after an exciting day in the sun with tons of people loving me, it was time to go home. I was too exhausted to even get nervous on the ride back down the mountain. In fact, I went to bed right after supper. I hear Rocktoberfest is every weekend in October. I sure hope the folks take me back!

Love and wiggles, Lucy

  4. Tyebe, Mom thinks you would freak out (like I did at first) but then you might get used to it and we could all have fun an sauekraut. Your pup friends, Lucy and Xena

  21. Dear Lucy, what a day you had! You have such a beuatiful face, your eyes are so kind. Your mom and dad dances polka, polkka in Finnish, and all the Finns love polkka, not young ones, but others. Maybe your parents have a little drop finnish blood.
    Hugs to you Lucy,
    Kosmo and his mom

  28. I want to be a therapy dog, Miss Toni, but Mom said I can’t lick and I can’t jump and be scared at sudden or loud noises. I would have to work hard on both those things. In the meantime, I will take petting wherever I can get it. XOX Lucy

  30. Lucy you did great! Meeting all those people and the noise and the smells of food and making new friends. You must be very proud of yourself, Who knows, there may be a therapy dog hidden away inside of you. I’m so glad you got your special day with Mom and Dad.
