Mr Mav's adventure in Calgary

What a weekend for Mr Mav.  I was judging an agility trail in Calgary and decided to take Mr Mav with me.  It was incredible!

Our hosts, Barb and Randy, were outstanding!  When we got to their home, they not only had his crate set up in my room, they also had yummy cookies and puppy bully sticks waiting for him.

He met lots of new people (everyone loved playing "pass the puppy"), had a great time meeting all the new dogs and worked on our crate games and tug with the distractions of a trial.

So proud of my little man!

(And make sure you check out all the photos - you'll find out about his flight)

I was told that the trial was at the "Fezdome" - pretty sure I know how it got it's name...lol!




Now here's the great part about the flight - 
When I went to check in at the Vancouver airport, the gentleman at the counter almost didn't allow Mr Mav on the plane because of his size (and for the record, Mr Mav was in the sherpa bag so he never saw his size)  He even went to find his supervisor because he didn't want to let us on.  Luckily, his supervisor was a dog lover and immediately asked to hold him.  She didn't have a problem with Mr Mav so we got on the flight.

Well Mr Front counter dude - check out these photos!  On the way back, Mr Mav and I had our photo taken in the cock pit!  Oh - at it was the Captain that took that photos!

You can be my wingman anytime!
