I'm camped right next to some big movie stars, really big movie stars.

These movie stars travel in luxury custom made RVs that fit their size and status. And are accompanied by an entourage that takes care of their every need. People to do their hair, take care of their feet, feed them, dress them, clean up after them, no I'm not talking about Elizabeth Taylor, it's the Budweiser Clydesdales.... I think it's rather sad that I'm so old and out of touch, the only movie star I could think of was Elizabeth Taylor.

It's been a pretty good day for a Friday the 13th. Just like I expected there was a lot of walking involved and I haven't even made it over to the RV show yet. I spent most of the day watching the dog agility competition, and looking at the Budweiser Clydesdales. And fortunately the weather was absolutely perfect for both endeavors.

It became painfully obvious right off the bat that the dogs at this competition were just learning their skills so a lot of time was spent with frustrated dog trainers trying to get the dog to go to the right place and do the right thing. Which of course was loads of fun to watch just not much fun for the trainers running after the dogs.

Being around a lot of RVers I get to see a lot of dogs, and the dogs I see are normally overweight and shaped like a large sausage, or the Goodyear Blimp, so it was good to see a bunch of dogs today that were actually shaped like dogs for a change. The dogs in the competition were thin, muscular, and healthy looking, like working dogs are supposed to look.

The dogs were smart, and well trained, but there was one command that none of them seemed to understand, its the most important command of all, and the first one I taught all of my dogs. And that's the command of "HUSH"!

A BIG star.

Big horse, little kid.

This is part of the dog agility competition arena. they change the location of the obstacles several times a day to challenge the dogs and their handlers.

Intently waiting for the "go" command.

And then it's on. These are just teasers I've got a weeks worth of dog pictures.
