Well today was the Petco Party in the Park, in honor of the Baren Foundation, a non profit animal welfare agency that helps low income pet owners pay for emergency vet care. My work was there so I decided to drop by, and wanted to as it is a great opportunity to get Freckles out and socialized, both with people and other dogs. She met TONS of dogs. Pretty much every breed imaginable was there LOL. I couldn't take too many photos, as my memory card doesn't hold too many, but I did get a few awfully cute ones. Freckles had a blast!!! At first she was a little timid as the big dogs (mainly the police shephards) scared her, but she came out of her shell in just a few minutes. She met tons of other dogs, and even found a new playmate!
There were tons of things going on. The Ferret people were there with adoptions, as well as Greenhill, and the Exotic Bird Rescue. There was a big kids jumpy thing and Dylan went in there and had a ball. He was scared at first but after the bigger kids got out he decided to have a go, and boy did he ever have FUN! Freckles got pretty dirty at the park. There was a kiddie pool set out she was playing in, as well as some misters set up for both people and their pets. The Oregon Duck's mascot was there and I wanted to get a picture of Freckles with him sooooooooo bad, but he ran away LOL. I got to see Mike Belloti (sp?), the Oregon football coach too, which was really neat as I am a big DUCKS fan.
OOOOH AND, Freckles and I are going to be on television tonight!!! KVAL was there filming and the one lady really loved Freckles so decided to film us with the two bassett hounds. I am going to tape it, and if I can, use my digi cam to film the tv when we are on, so that I can show you guys. Isn't that cool? Anyways, what else? Hrmm, there were so many puppies there. I sure wish I could have taken more photos. But I guess you just gotta enjoy these:
Freckles and the fireman. The Eugene Firemen were there with their truck and Freckles LOVED this man. I take it the feeling was mutual.
Dylan got to sit inside too. He loves big trucks.
They had the Eugene Police Department there with their dogs as well and they were so well trained and absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately I got no photos. They had face painting as well. Dylan was a little leary of getting his face painted so he opted for a painted hand instead. He got a pretty butterfly. He likes butterflies very much.
The painting. Don't mind my nasty looking foot.
More coming........
