Living Ruff in Silver Spring

I went to a great pet store today in Silver Spring called Living Ruff. AGPR had an adoption event in downtown Silver Spring and I went to see some of my friends that are looking for forever homes. Carol and the staff at Living Ruff were great and fed me treats and even sat on the floor with me and gave me lots of love and attention. It was a good day for the rescue with lots of people meeting my friends and filling out applications to adopt.

Reston Town Center Pet Fiesta

AP took me to the Pet Fiesta today and it was HOT but we at least had a breeze blowing.

We were there today to raise awareness for AGPR and see if there was a lucky human for my friend Maggie who is a really sweet dog. Maggie was there with Gina.

Nancy and Art worked really hard to get everything together for our booth and they had some really cool goodie bags and MILK BONES (I love milk bones). All the kids wanted to feed me milk bones and I was happy to keep eating them.

Andy was there and he is really happy at his new home. He and I were the spokesdogs for adoption today and were getting lots of love from the people and kids walking by. AP and I walked around collecting donations and since it was crowded and windy I had to wear my sunglasses which always gets people talking and asking questions. I must have had my picture taken 30 times. The best part is always getting petted and talked to by the kids -I LOVE KIDS!

I was getting really hot so we went into the pet friendly Apple store and AP played with the iPad while I spread out on the floor to get cool. They were very nice to let all the dogs come in today and the guy at the door was really cool.

Later in the afternoon Andy and I were napping at the booth he had been there since 10:00am so it was a really long day for him.

I was sound asleep but you couldn't tell because of my sunglasses. I have some other pictures coming and will post them as they come in.

Waiting for DogFest

I'm so excited, only 2 days to Dogfest 2009. http://www.dogfest2009.org/ I am going to be at the AGPR booth with my friends and AP says we are going to do some painting. I have never painted before but I am going to make a special painting for my friend Vickie. Nala is going to come by with some of my human friends and we are going to try to raise some money for the rescue.
