Niki and I went to the First Annual Oberlin "Doggie Doo" yesterday, where Tappan Square became a dog pardise for a few hours. There were lots of assorted water containers scattered around and free dog treats galore. I was surprised at the number of booths that were set up, there must have been fifty of them. Represented were dog vets, shelters, trainers, fashion designers (yep, fashion designers), people who bake custom doggie treats and, surprisingly, one cat shelter booth (how'd they get in?). Oberlin being Oberlin there was also a booth promoting dog psychiatric services. And of course there were dogs (and owners) of every description. Niki had a swell time and damn near wore her sniffer out. The Oasis people were there and Niki seemed to recognize them, especially Vera, who she jumped all over. I even met the woman who called the cops about Niki being mistreated and got her taken to Oasis in the first place. In the two or so hours we spent wandering around the square I never heard a single angry growl. Amazing.
