More Socialization

Today I had a great opportunity to expose Sidney to more strange people, sounds, and objects. Every year the first Saturday in May is Old Dover Days. People dress as they did in Colonial Times. On The Green, Vendors set up. Sidney was confident and enjoyed his outing. He got exposed to:
*Real native American Indians dressed in their full costume (including hearing their music)
*Teepee
*Civil War Infantry
*Cannons going off
*Man dressed as a Knight
*Martial Arts Demo
*Generators
*Man carrying a bazillion balloons
*Man in a strange hat
*Many people of all sizes, shapes, colors, ages, and costumes
*Fire trucks
*Horses
*Band Marching in Parade
*Walking on a loose leash in a crowd
*Everyone wanting to pet and feed him

Hey if I could sew, I would have dressed him in a tricorner hat with colonial duds on then entered him in the pet parade.
