Royal Melbourne Show and dog photos

One day last week, while Penny stayed home, I went to the Royal Melbourne Show. I was surprised how much more agreeable it has become since the last time I was there, decades ago. I loved the food stalls in the Tastes of Victoria Pavilion, and picked up a great show bag of delicacies from The YarraValley Regional food Group.

I didn't get to see the dogs at the Show, but I did browse the photography display. I think one of the dogs looks a bit like Penny!




However, as a word-lover, I was taken aback to see this colorful, professional-looking sign had a spelling error. More about that on my other blog...

I wish I could have gone to the show with you! It looks like the state fairs we have here in the US. And...I always grouse about misspelled signs.

Parlance, I went to the show too. The picture of the dogs fighting was amazing! Very long canine teeth on show. It is in your second picture, I think.

Mary, I too thought the photo of the fighting dogs was amazing. I guess it wasn't the dog owners who took the picture. If it were my dog, I'd have been reaching for something to separate them. On the other hand, maybe it was play.

curator, I think it would be like a state fair. I've seen my share of American movies, lol, where people go to state fairs.
