Dog Days oF September

Yesterday, we had a huge dog festival here in Toledo. Tons of vendors, and games, and weiner dog races, and adoption groups, and just a fun day for the dogs. I was there with our therapy dog group and although the day was scheduled to run from 10-4, I was actually there from 8:45 to 5:15! What a fun day!

Here are some pictures:

This little girl for adoption looked like a familiar face to me:

Pug Heaven!! Good thing this rescue group as only accepting applications, and not letting you take them home! (I did bring home some information though!)

looks like so much fun with all those dogs - especially your three smiling pups! :D

Oh my gosh, Amy..
I about fainted when I saw those first few pictures. What a sweet girl.

Looks like a fun event. Great pictures. :)

Amy it looks like you had a terrific time. I just love these kinds of events. You took some great pictures and it looks like the weather was good. I think I would have spent the entire day here:

Puggilys continue to make me weak in the knees. :)

Your adorable threesome posed so nicely :) and of course Cinder and Smoke stood out in the crowd. Thanks for sharing! ;)

That really looks like it was a lot of fun. :D Yesterday was obviously a good day in Ohio for all of the doggies. The picture of your three is adorable. And I'd know that pretty Cinder face anywhere. :) I hope that it helped to get good homes for some of those precious pups, and to raise funds for those hard working volunteers that do so much (yourself included).

OMG the second photo what is in that kennel on the left side a BEAR??? HOLEY MOLEY!! It bums me out we don't have them around here. :(

A bear? No, that is a sweet looking, Lab/Dobe mix!
