Pet A Palooza

So yesterday we packed up the car and headed to Granville, Ohio for the first annual Pet A Palooza. Mom said that Weimaraner Rescue really needs help getting some of these Weim babies adopted out and set up a booth there even though we didn't have a foster she figured it would be a good way to get the rescues name out there.

It was such a beautiful day. It was actually a bit chilly. The skies were so blue. Much better than the 90 degrees it has been lately.

Mom sold a lot of tennis balls, water bottles and crate pads at her booth. Don't think we will get any adoptions but at least people in a new area are aware of the rescue now.

Not a bad turn out for a first year event

Dad took me up on stage to talk about how rescue doggies can do anything any other dogs can do. (Don't tell, but dad actually kind of broke down a little while telling everyone that, he told mom that he got very emotional because of all the work he has put into training me and is so proud of me)

  9. That is fantastic, and it makes me tear up to hear your dad talk about you--you guys are a team that has a lot to be proud of for sure-not the least of which is all you do to help the other doggies that are in a bad place.

  14. Good to get the word out about rescue. Just yesterday, our hu-dad was talking to a guy who used to have Siberians and wanted to add one to his family. He had no idea about the number of Sibes in rescue.
