This was a busy weekend for Luna and me. On Saturday, Ashley, Chewie and Luna went with me to a Holiday Caroling Party which was hosted by 4-H for residents at a local nursing home. Chewie and Luna were a big hit with the residents. Luna sported a blue collar with jingle bells and Chewie wore here new reindeer sweater. The people we visited with just loved petting Chewie and Luna and admired their fun outfits.

Sunday was my birthday (yay!) and we celebrated by attending the Greyhound Friends of NJ Craft Show. We bought Luna a new sweater (stay tuned for pictures), checked out the latest batch of greys looking for a home, and got Luna's nails cut. While we were walking around the vendors, we passed a man selling fuzzy marionettes. Luna stopped in her tracks when she saw the fuzzy "dog" on the ground.

Luna cautiously approached the puppet with ears up. When the man moved the puppet towards Luna she backed up quickly. Apparently, she wanted to check out the toy (probably to play with it), but she was very afraid of the puppet. After a few minutes of staring from a distance, Luna decided the best course of action was to bark at the puppet. People passing us laughed and said, "Doesn't she know greyhounds don't bark?" I guess not. As a side note, none of the other greyhounds passing the puppet took any notice of the funny toy. Only Luna was on high alert.
Continuing this theme, Luna and I had our normal morning walk before I leave for work this morning. As we approached a small garden, Luna became very alert about a new statue. I couldn't help laughing when I realized it was a rabbit. Luna's fur was standing up as she slowly approached the rabbit statue. She insisted on sniffing it from the side before standing in front of the statue. After a few minutes she decided we were safe to move on. Thank goodness! :-)

Frankly, I'm surprised that somebody would have a small furry puppet on display with a bunch of greyhounds around. I've heard stories about their prey drives....poor Luna, though!
Elka is always super interested in statues that we see. For the longest time, one neighbor had a little red riding hood standing in front of a wolf, and Elka would stop and look at it every time we passed.
Sometimes they just get it into their heads that something is strange and often it's the most innocuous (sp?) things:)
Glad the bunny froze with fright:) LOL
Happy birthday! Luna is a funny little girl.
