Belle's birthday parade

Today is Belle's first birthday. We participated in a christmas parade on the downtown mall, walking with the group representing the Companion Animal Fund.

In addition to Belle, I took Sunny, TJ, and Bubba. Sunny wasn't thrilled and didn't want me out of her sight. TJ was fine but was over stimulated, which tends to make shepherds stupid. Bubba loved it, he worked the crowd like he always does. And Belle, of course, thought it was all about her.

She really likes a crowd of people and she was really pretty good with all the other dogs too. I didn't get any pics of her at the parade and taking pictures with the video cam isn't the best, but here are a few I did get, including some of Belle taken at home afterwards. The one that is just a big blur of black face and drool is Belle doing the Shar-pei head shake.

After the parade we met the folks who are going to foster Bubba while we are in Kentucky next week. So tonight at home we are down to 5 fosters, the fewest in many, many months.

Glad to hear things are in good shape for your vacation. Enjoy your R&R. One of the things I am thankful for this year is YOU and Clay and all the other good folks you work with. You make the world a better place by giving all these wonderful dogs -- and their human families -- a new chance at happiness.
