Suki is staying with us for three days. We picked her up from Baraboo yesterday, on our way back from Madison. Linda and I had been to Madison to buy my regular desi food.
Linda and I hadn't realised that today was Butterfest, the annual Reedsburg festival that showcases the local industries and institutions here. I can't think of an equivalent Indian festival off hand, but the Republic Day celebrations come close.
The Butterfest started off on a bad note for Suki. There were some loud noises made by small kids amongst the crowd that had gathered to watch the parade. Even though the sounds weren't particularly loud, they were enough to make Suki shake and shiver. Linda and I tried to calm her down but nothing helped, as usual. There were more bada bings and bada bangs later on in the festival, which made the situation worse.
On a more positive note, Suki got a biscuit from the mayor of Reedsburg. The mayor was riding some kind of electric vehicle. Linda said that he got off the vehicle, came to Suki, and handed her a dog biscuit. Of course, Suki didn't even so much as sniff the biscuit. I'm sure she appreciated the gesture.
There's not much else going on right now. Suki and I are watching the USA versus Italy football match right now. The score's 1-1 right now, but the US team has two players red-carded, both not such great decisions by the referee.
