Tuesday was "Melbourne Cup Day" here in Melbourne, Australia. It's the only horse race in the world to be declared a public holiday
It's the race that stops the nation. I usually am involved in some type of cup day BBQ or social outing but this year, Midgee's Mum and I decided to do our bit of community service and take Midgee to visit the residents of the local nursing home. Midgee put a smile on all of their faces.
Midgee meets a puppy..
Then off to the 'dementia' ward. What a sad place. There was an elderly lady who had a doll in a stroller/pram. She thought that the doll was her real life baby.
We managed to make them all smile with Midgee even though most of them thought Midgee was a dog and kept calling out 'puppy puppy'.
More photos coming.......
