Dox-A-Palooza II

I had a pawsome day yesterday!
Mom took me to Crest Lake Park to attend the annual Dox-A-Palooza event. There were so many little dachshunds running around having a ball.
Some of the DARE dogs were there in hopes of finding their furever home. Check out their web-site, www.daretorescue.com , what a wonderful group of humans volunteering together for a great cause!
So, as you can imagine I must have looked pretty silly, being a bichon and all. I was doing the famous bichon dance for everyone and everything. I did look silly, but everyone made me feel right at home. I was the doxie wanna be for the day!
The best part of the day was spending time with my pal Jeffrey. He had his wheels on yesterday and was boogieing around visiting with everyone. Jeffrey even ran in the weiner race. He took 4th place! Go Jeffrey! What a cute little guy! Jeffrey's foster brother Chance was also at the event. I was so happy to see how well Chance is doing. He was able to get up and walk around a bit! It was really great!
If you didn't get to read in one of my past entries, Jeffrey and Chance are special needs dogs being fostered by a really special lady and her pawsome son. They have done an amazing job of getting them to where they are today. And that's on top of the other fosters they take care of! Bravo foster pawrents!
Any dog, I was pooped by the end of the day. When we got home mom put me in the shower right away. My white fur was grey. I just had to kick all day long, I kicked dirt at everyone! Dirt on pants, dirt in bags, and dirt all over me!
So my shower was nice, until mom found a tick on me! My very first tick living here in Florida. Thank goodness they don't have those nasty little deer ticks down here. I thought my day was over after all that, and then mom and dad took me for a visit to a friends house. We were only there till 10, but my dog was I tired!
Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend too!
