Watersound Walk-N-Wag!!! 7/5/08

If I am in town (which is a 60% chance) I will have to come and bring my big baby!!

kitlit's right! That's 120%, so you have to be there!

When does "yappy" hour begin... 6PM? Mamie pictured on the left (front) would like to show her frisbee catching abilities, but she hates the heat!

Actually "yappy hour" is the bar and it is open for the entire event. (you do know who helped put this together don't you!)

Bring Mamie later in the day, there is also a dog washing station.

It looks to me like that adds up to 120%... so we'll see you there!

Bring that cute baby in your tar too!

I love this thread.

Wish you could make it DD!

It should be a ruffing good time!

Lola and I will be there.....and have a vendor booth....please stop by and see me, and if anyone wants a painting of their furry child, please let me know....I'll be working on several paintings of different breeds this week....

Can Avalon Photo set up?

I want to raise money for Alaqua (Amazing Grace Fund) by raffle. Tickets to win a chance at a family portrait session and a 16x20 print, dogs welcome! Prize is 375.00 value, tickets will be 5.00 each. See the thread in the "organizations" catagory. Let me know...

I'm sure this will be a great event. I wish we could sent Max down for you to use in a kissing booth. You woulda raked in the dough!

Have fun!

I SO wanted Max to do our kissing booth, he would have been perfect....lot's of kissable head space!

It should be a ruffing good time!

I look forward to seeing you there!

This sounds grayt! Have you contacted Hillary? I will clear it with her first thing Monday morning and post her phone number for anyone interested in participating.

what a wonderful way to raise some funds for alaqua animal refuge!

I like the yappy hour event. and the most attractively challenged dog contest.

I can think of a hands down winner, though I think she's a cutie. ;-)

Thanks Kurt! We can use all the help we can get.

Now....who all is coming out and bringing their wagging tails?

Anybody know where I could find some grey doggie suits??? My Rufus (the little guy in my 'tar) and my dad's greyhound (an all-over fawn) could be twins except for the size...

I would so love to have them dress for the best dressed as Dr. Evil and Mini-Me... ...

Grrr... If only I had more time to plan! Maybe next year...

Just bring them to walk and wag! Naked dogs are welcome

I am so looking forward to some of the contests, my favorites are:

1) Most "attractively challenged

2) Stupid pet tricks

3) Best talker

4) Best costume

Sounds like a wonderful event, I hope everyone that is in the area attends. I so wish Sadie and I were going to be there, but we will be there with you in spirit and wish you the best.

I'll drink one for ya'll at "yappy hour!" I really hope we have a good turn out.

Holiday weekends are the hardest for me to get away....but anything to help Alaqua and I'm game for "yappy" hour!. I think I can rustle up a dog or two....what about 6 puppies???;-)

Bring them in a buggy! You might find a few buyers too.

BB, I won't be there, but I would like to make a contribution. Come find me and I will give you some $$ for the cause.

p.s. Just curious, why 3:01 to 7:01, why not just 3:00 to 7:00? Curious minds want to know.

Awww, I thank you KDW & so do all the animals at Alaqua! You know I will find you.

SEE! It worked. If we used 3:00 to 7:00 you would not have been able to remember the time. You would have kept going "Now what time does that thing start?" :scratch:

My mom, Dr. Ruth will be there to sell chances to win a portrait session and 16x20 print from Avalon Photography. Stop by and wish her a happy (75th) birthday! She considers this event her party.

I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about regarding entering Lola in any contests

Lola is the prettiest Chinese Crested I have ever seen. What's up with that?


Just one more week! Please come and help us support Alaqua!

If A Dog Were Your Teacher

If a dog were your teacher
These are some of the lessons you might learn...

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face
to be pure ecstasy

When it's in your best interest
practice obedience
Let others know when they've invaded your territory
Take naps and stretch before rising
Run romp and play daily

Thrive on attention and let people touch you
Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do
On warm days stop to lie on your back on the grass
On hot days drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree
When you're happy dance around and wag your entire body

No matter how often you're scolded
don't buy into the guilt thing and pout
run right back and make friends

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
Stop when you have had enough
Be loyal
Never pretend to be something you're not

If what you want lies buried
dig until you find it
When someone is having a bad day
be silent .....
...sit close by.

...and nuzzle them gently.
