It really was a lot of fun, and I was reminded that having friends is much more important that winning anything. A lot of our friends seemed to enjoy that message a lot and so it was decided that we'd have a banquet to celebrate the big race. Our coaches, Puddles and Roo were also asked to sit at the table of honor with us by Frankie, too.
I have to admit, I was pretty excited about the whole big day. I mean, really, a banquet to honor little me? When my sisters asked to come along with me, I was glad to have them come along with me. Perhaps I should have known better when Lilac was waiting at the back door with a suitcase. Still, I was so excited, I didn't ponder things like that the way I should have. Since there were four of us, I told Puddles not to worry about swinging by in her souped up red Pinto. Instead, we decided to travel in style and we chartered the Spirit of Peoria to take us to the banquet.
After a relaxing ride on the river we arrived and entered through the spotlight. After a rather, um, motivational speech by Pip, we were all ready to eat. There was so much food, I couldn't believe my eyes. I decided to try a taco for the first time, and it was pretty good!
I was a bit surprised as the festivities began to find out that Lilac had brought all her green papers in hopes of getting Bono or some other rock star to get a little closer to her. I asked Morgan to make sure that she didn't bring one of them home in our suitcase, but she seemed a little distracted. Blueberry seemed to have ideas about slipping off to the dance floor. I reminded her to be careful with her splint, but I think I heard her say something about how she thought it was time for it to come off. I really hope that all my sisters manage to behave themselves at this party!
If you've written a post about the banquet and would like to add it to the list of festivities, please feel free to join in the fun!

Puddles
You travelled on that old steamer? How VERY stylish. That taco looks so good too. I'm not allowed any real food for the next few days and am very hungry :(
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Sunday!
Pawty time!!!

Woofs and Licks,
Maggie Mae
Hi Bunny! Nice to meet you. I read the post in Pip's blog where you had a big race with with Pip. I must say, you can REALLY run fast! You were like rocket launcher. So cool. Now I think you should race with my Dalmatian sister, Faith. That woman can run fast too but I think you'll probably outbeat her. Anyway, great blog & whatever you were eating in that picture, it looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna be adding your blog link to my friend's list. Hope you don't mind.
yes, tells Lilac I may need to dip into her stash of money...hehehe!
ReplyDeleteAnd dear Bunny, you looks fabulous as always.
Puddles
Hey Bunny!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great banquet for a great event. You and Pip both look just fabo for your big party. I'm drooling over that taco!
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
Bunny, elegant as always!
ReplyDeleteUm, don't look now Bunny, but your sisters are totally getting jiggy with it. :)
ReplyDeleteHello, love. What's that? You want to borrow my tranquilizer to subdue Bono?
ReplyDeleteI'm getting awfully jealous of that Earthling.
Now come have a dance with me, Lilac. Then I'm off to find Oprah.
Oh Bunny, isn't this just the best! We should race every year. Though watch out next year I won't be so nice and let you win. BOL!
ReplyDeleteNow, where's Lilac I want to take her for a spin around the dance floor.
Alright! What a party. How was the taco, Bunny? That Lilac is too much, with the green papers. Do you have Bono at your house now? Please tell Blueberry to be careful - for the date of getting rid of that yucky splint must be coming close!
ReplyDeleteLilac, Now distract Pip while I find Oprah. Don't let him get near her!
ReplyDeleteThanks, love.
CAUGHT YOU! Lilac, don't listen to him. And be careful about putting Oprah in your suitcase (even for Alien). Her security team mean business!!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Wow, your own, really classy, old-timey, chartered steamboat! Now, that's style! We can't imagine Lilac having to pay for companionship of any kind, so we're sure her green papers are just to tip any courteous doggie who volunteers to help a senior lady with her bags, fetch her plate, refill her glass, and other totally above-board activities.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your race and on being awarded a Key to Blogville, Bunny! You are a true champion.
Jed & Abby
Ah, well. It was a good try, love.
ReplyDeleteNow can you help us hide from the police?
Dear Bunny. Good luck on your latest adventures!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted you to know you gave me an idea. I'd been wanting to work some social justice issues into my next Magic Most Foul book (which will release in 2012) and since my story is set in NYC in 1800s, I'm sure you know that's when and where the ASPCA was founded! So there simply MUST be an animal rights activist, with a rescued greyhound. Named Bunny.
Congratulations, and thanks for the idea. Obviously, you'll be getting full credit. :)
Yes, I think we may need to get Morgan involved. German Shepherds hold a certain position of authority that the rest of us can only dream of. In the meantime, we will keep Lilac hidden away in the coat room (with some pink champagne) until the Oprah Mafia leaves.
ReplyDeleteHey Bunny...
ReplyDeleteNow where did you say Blueberry went? I just came back from the ATM and all set.

Morgan could be the Bouncer. Every good bash needs security!
ReplyDeleteWe put up signs and no one has called yet. My Dad is hoping no one calls because he loooooves yellow labs!!
ReplyDeleteLilac and Bono are missing?
ReplyDeleteThat Earthling has to go. He is taking all the women!
Wow! What a festive occasion! You all look so spiffy in your party duds, and that bling! Wow!! I hope nobody has an upset stomach from the tacos and other fare. I hope Lilac was successful in her quest to meet Bono! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Lilac.
ReplyDeleteMr. Pip and I survived the O mafia. You don't have to keep us handcuffed for our protection. We should be all right now.
Err. Liclac?
Hmm. I don't think she is letting us out, Pip.
We can beat the O mafia,but we can't beat Lilac! Bunny - would you mind slipping us a couple of cheeseburgers. Looks like we may be here awhile.
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Bunny, your sisters sure do know how to party but I keep going back to the photo of you eating that taco. Your expression is so awesome! Whew, I bet you guys all slept good after rocking that banquet! It was really fun to read some of the highlights!
