Final stop of the Sid-athon: Arlington Heights

Arlington Heights Petsmart Christmas Meet & Greet, the final stop of the day for the Sid-athon.

As soon as we arrived at the last M&G, Romeo didn't waste any time. He set his sights on my deer old friend Amy and moved right in. I can't blame him, Amy is adorable. I didn't want to hurt Romeo's feelings, but Amy likes me better!

While Romeo made his way around the crowd, I went over and introduced myself to Amy's sister Lily and their mother Tara, who is resting to my left. After meeting their mother, I understand where Amy and Lily get their looks!

Lily and I had a fabulous conversation, and she taught me that the key to successful fundraising is all in the eyes.

I decided to give the eye thing a try and worked my way around the crowd gathering donations.

I heard someone calling my name. It was Sam. "Sid, check it out," he said, "it's a wolf!!"

I almost fainted when I saw this giant creature. He looked like he was going to eat me! 

"Don't worry, Sid," said Sounder. "It's a Wolfhound, not a real wolf! He's like a really big Greyhound that has never shaved."

This is a giant dog!

Sam sat down next to me and apologized for scaring me, but he still thought it was a pretty funny joke!

I think the Sid-athon was quite successful! I met so many wonderful hounds and their humans.

I got to lounge around with a plethora of beautiful girl hounds. I learned that meeting and greeting equals lots of love and treats.

Here I am resting with the beautiful Breeze. This was a lovely way to end a lovely weekend.
