Last year when I was a baby, I went to Tanglewood with my BFF Harvey, our mom and Harvey's other mom. There was a terrible, scary thunder and lightning storm. Fortunately I had my reindeer and Harvey to snuggle with.
This year we will go to Tanglewood many times. The first big concert is James Taylor. He is very, very popular and we needed to go before that to practice so it wouldn't be so hard for me when there were lots of people there. Our practice visit was on a beautiful night and not very crowded so I got to walk around with my mom and see all the sights.
This is a sundial. When the sun is out you can sit in the middle and your shadow will tell you the time. Very neat - except we puppies really don't care about the time except for eating time.
This concert was called Prairie Home Companion. There was some music but mostly talking (BLAH-BLAH-BLAH) which didn't interest me much so I just chilled out and chewed on my bone.
When we got there we had to walk up this big hill. Whew. I was very tired when we got to the top.
So - it's July 3 and the big night is here. Unfortunately this year there is a big storm system (just like my first time to Tanglewood!!!) but we crossed our fingers that the rain would hold off until after the concert and we went anyway.
No such luck. At least we were able to walk almost all the way before the rain started. Then BOOM - pouring rain and thunder and lightning. Fortunately my friends Mary Kay and Tammy were standing under some shelter and they made room for us.
My mom dropped my treat pouch (on no) on our way so she left me with Mary Kay while she went to look for it. She didn't find it but she had more treats so all was well.
When the thunder and lightning stopped, everybody went back to their seats on the lawn - in the pouring rain. Are they crazy?? We stayed under the roof where it was dry and we could still hear the music.
I was cold because I got wet so I snuggled in mom's lap to take a nap and she wrapped me in a blanket.
It was very muddy walking back to our car and we had to wait a long time for all the cars to leave. That's OK- we both took a nap.
The next day was James Taylor again. We were lucky because the rain stopped but it was very, very cold. There were lots more people there and because of that and because the parking lot was very muddy, we had to park a looooong way away. Our car was way in the back behind the trees!
There were lots of people sitting on the lawn. Just in case it did rain again, though, we sat under a roof and were nice and cozy.
While we were waiting for the concert to start, somebody walked by with a dog that was working. Maybe someday I'll come back to Tanglewood as a working dog!
I had to dress up (so what's new?) because it was Independence Day but I have to say that I was very beautiful.
Tanglewood is a very beautiful place and I look forward to visiting again soon.
