Pictures from Dog Day Afternoon - and a SURPRISE!!
« on: October 16, 2005, 11:30:30 pm »
Hubby and I took Oasis, Rocko and the smaller-pawed Buster Brown to a local rescue organization's Dog Day Afternoon yesterday. We had so much fun and I made sure I took pix of all the BPOs for you guys. There were so many and they were all gorgeous!! (of course).

And now, for the big surprise...

My little beagle Buster Brown won FIRST PLACE in the Best Tail Wagger contest!! He beat out over 25 other dogs 'cause his tail NEVER stops wagging - a true testament to his spirit after being beaten and starved for the first part of his life. When he found us, he looked so pitiful, but was always a sweetheart. It took him 2 years to even start playing with the other dogs. He would just sit back and watch. Just look at him now. He's definitely a BPO in his heart!!

1. Buster Brown showing off his medal
2. Rocko and Oasis giving mom loves
3. Neopolitan Mastiff
4. Rosco (American Bulldog) and Buster make friends
5. Zeus - Most Macho winner
6. Zoe takes a seat
7. Greater Swiss Mountain Dog
8. Killer Dog (had to sneak this Mojo in - you'll see why)
9. Rocko and Dad discuss their strategy
10. My 3 dogs chillin'
11. Dalmatian Wanna-bes - costume contest winner

Good Boy, Buster.  Is that him in the Harley shirt!  A dog after my own heart!

We had a fabulous time! Rocko and Buster both have their Harley Davidson gear on - Rocko's denim jacket and Buster is decked out in leather - well, pleather. Oasis's shirt says, "I love cats". 8)

Rocko was entered in the "Best Smile" contest and I think he got robbed. I entered Oasis in Best of Show, but the competition there was pretty rough (or is the "ruff") and he peed in the ring so I think that hurt his chances.

That Neo was only 9 mos. old and he LOVED all the smaller dogs. His paws were absolutely HUGE!!! I swear they were the size of Buster's head. He was definitely a handful - he was so excited to meet all the other dogs.

I fell in love with Zeus. We sat right behind him so we got to give him lots of kisses. He is intimately familiar with my dogs as his nose was constantly up their butts, but he is so gentle and sweet!

There were also 2 great pyrenees, about 3 danes, a few weimeraners, lots of mixes and the best of show went to a gorgeous red and white siberian husky.

Wow, that sounds awesome!!  I wish they had something like that around here.  They have dog events, but they're more competition type stuff w/frisbee/obedience/flyball, not anything just with fun stuff.

Jeanne,
Those are great pictures!  :)  Looks like everyone was having lots of fun.. and enjoying the sunshine.  :D  It's been cold, rainy and super windy up here so that sunshine is helping warm me up!   LOL

Congrats on Buster's win, that is something special for sure.  :D

Give Oasis a hug from me and especially Rocko.  I just LUV that Rocko!!!!  ;D
