Here we are-it’s the last Monday of June which means we’re heading toward the back side of 2026. Where has the time gone this year? Our weekend was jammed with activities. First there was the Dog Fair on Saturday that was great fun for both the two and four legged. On Sunday Wilson and I hosted a birthday BBQ for the family which meant that the great granddaughter cutie pie helped blow out candles (repeatedly) for her Daddy and Grandpa who both had recent birthdays.
The woman with the pink hair below was with the event organizers, the rest of the group were some of the volunteers who helped man the both. Sweet Hadley is always a super chill and model pup.
We had loads of visitors stop by to meet the sheepdogs and generally chat with our rescue volunteers.
Another dog rescue group located next to ours had a very cool photo booth and took photos of some of the volunteers and their dogs.
It was a swell event on a very hot day (officially it was 97F/36.1C) with lots of visitors and dogs eager to get out of the heat.
And because it’s a Monday, we still want to share a smile. When I say there was lots of sniffing among the dogs who attended the fair, they might have benefitted with name tags like today’s smile to make the meet and greet a bit easier.
We hope everyone you meet today has a smile on their face. Have a wonderful Monday and try to stay as cool as you can.
Today is Memorial Day in the U.S. where we remember and honor all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice serving their country. Now a national holiday, it was originally known as Decoration Day back in the years following the Civil War and only became known as Memorial Day in 1968 and Congress added it as a three-day weekend for federal employees in 1971.
Wilson has found a new treat that he likes. Although he would rather it would have been an apple slice from the charcuterie board leftovers, he was more than game to try a slice of cucumber. What treats do your dogs like?
