Not long ago, Grady and I enjoyed our first visit to the Bay Area Renaissance Festival  in Tampa and were surprised to find how dog friendly it was. As usual, he was a hit and drew a crowd of admirers. I swear I’m going to make a T-shirt for Grady-friendly events: He’s a Neapolitan Mastiff, Yes he drools, Yes he snores, No he doesn’t eat small children….It’s a good thing G Dog and I like promoting awareness of Mastinos!

There was a lot to see and do at the Festival, jugglers to belly dancers and everything in between

All tough guys should have studded coats, right? So where's mine?

A pig? On a pink leash? Really? Maybe a studded coat would make him look more like a tough guy.
