So if you are wondering, Millie and I will be on the fairgrounds and in the KWCH booth Saturday the 6th, Tuesday the 9th, and Thursday the 11th. We should be there by 2 p.m. each day, so come on by and say hi. We can't promise that we will be able to take pictures with everyone, but we will sure try and do our best to make sure everyone at least gets to pet her a little.
Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about Millie:
How old is Millie? She will turn 10 on September 25th
Breed? Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Where did she come from? Cousins in Oklahoma had a litter back in 2004
When did Millie start going on the air? She made some random appearances in 2004 and 2005 as a cute puppy. Some thought she was stuffed animal in the beginning because she didn't move much. Roger's AnswerBack segment helped boost her popularity in 2006 and beyond!
Has Millie had formal training? None. Some quality time with me and rewards with popcorn and milk bones has worked quite well.
Does she help forecast the weather? Sure... and she's more accurate than the groundhog.
Who does her grooming? That would be me... and it takes over an hour sometimes because of her thick coat.
Some rain may interfere with the fair Friday, but for your planning purposes, look at what's in store for the first weekend:
Friday: Scattered afternoon and evening storms. High: 83
Saturday: Decreasing clouds. High: 78
Sunday: Mostly sunny High: 79
