We had our Patriotic doggie pawty today. In all 13 doggies were present! And friends new and old had a wonderful time. I hadn't realized until mid pawty, this is really the first time Riley has had so many doggies in her back yard! She was a bit overwhelmed at times (which is not like her) but she would settle once I spoke with her and get her cuddles.

I decorated the back yard, so that no matter where you happened to aim your camera you would have some decor in the shot.


The weather was perfect, 77 F, humidity of 54%, dewpoint of 57, and a slight breeze. All the streamers, wind socks and pinwheels were in motion.


The park bench was ready for photo shoots


And there was a table full of beads, hats and assorted accessories.


The food tables were ready to be filled --

-- and everything was about set for folks to arrive!

More photos to come.
