Mingling with the masses: Reader Suggestion Week

Thanks to everyone who contributed ideas about places BlogDog should visit during Reader Suggestion Week! BlogDog was very impressed with all the inspired ideas.

To kick off Reader Suggestion Week, BlogDog took a tip from "Biggest BlogDog Fan." Her idea? Perhaps BlogDog could visit "a fair or parade where he can mingle with the masses."

So, today BlogDog headed to the 5th Annual Denver Duck Drop. This school fundraiser, held at George Wallace Park, drew hundreds of families and culminated with 3,000 sponsored rubber ducks racing down the gulch for prizes.

BlogDog chilled out on the hillside listening to the quartet, getting pet by children and learning about Denver's dog park development plan from a very friendly park ranger. BlogDog was a mingling master -- until he pulled the leash out of Mary's hands and "mingled" a little too excitedly with a mini schnauzer and a standard poodle.

Mary got some really dirty looks, so she decided to split.
