Falkor's Famous at the Farmer's Market

Today was a completely beautiful day outside so I decided to take Jackson and Falkor to the downtown farmer's market. The Des Moines farmer's market is HUGE and welcomes very large crowds every weekend.
It was Falkor's first time and Jackson hadn't been there since last summer. Where we had to park there was a very loud band playing and the streets were teeming with people....both Jackson and Falkor were a bit wide eyed at first. But after only a few minutes both were taking in the sights, smells and sounds with big smiles. Falkor was wagging his tail the entire time and just LOVED all the attention he got from people and other doggies.
Falkor was quite popular with the crowd and about 1 million people exclaimed, "Look at those huge feet!". In fact ,word of Falkor spread through the market and when we would meet new people many would say "That is the puppy we heard about!". Falkor made his mark at the Des Moines Farmer's Market and thoroughly enjoyed all the attention, new doggie friends, and even a few pieces of fresh watermelon.
