If anyone made it thru the rain and wind to get to the Dogs Days of Summer Festival to benefit the Whatcom Humane Society this last Sunday... I commend you. We were there, wet, cold and my hair tied in knots from the wind. The Chihuahua's were moderately content, they had their sweaters, and big, fenced, outdoor area to run around in. Barking all day, as good Chihuahua's do!
We typically give away over 300 toys and prizes, but less than 100 found their way into happy puppy mouths, due to the low turnout. The weather was not on our side.
We had to pack it in early due to the wind, as tents were breaking and flying away. After a tent ended up in the lake and many lifted up off the ground, alas it was time to head home.
We did not get to show off at our Doggie Circus or Rally O show, but we hope to be able to next year.
Biggest disappointment was the lost revenue for the Whatcom Humane Society. Although not a big money maker, more of a community event, they still can make enough to keep the shelter animals happy if even for a short while.
I encourage you to send an extra monetary gift their way this month. On behalf of the Dogs Days of Summer...Toto needs it.
