Putting the FUN in Fundraising!

Wow! What an exciting day we had on Sunday! Mr. Calvin Cuddles, my friends Ellen and Kylee (and Kylee's pug Tuffy), and I all went out to Shelburne Museum Goes to the Dogs to raise money and awareness for Basenji Rescue and Transport (BRAT). It was one "wild party" for dogs and their owners and there were so many great things going on! A cowboy parade and costume contest, dog demonstrations, disc dog Vermont state championships. Plus DOZENS upon DOZENS of dog rescue groups and dog-tastic vendors!

Ellen, Kylee, and Mr. Calvin (the ONLY basenji of the 1,000 dogs at the event)


Someone's getting tired!

And he is out like a light! :)

Calvin + Toni crying cause they wish they could get to the other side of THEIR yard.

Calvin DEMANDING his yard back with a ROAR!

Shhh... Don't tell!

I caught Toni telling Calvin a secret this morning. From the look on Calvin's face it must have been a silly secret.

OUCH! The senjis have the stumble-bumbles

Calvin and Toni had a stumble-bumble day today...

1. Toni got sooooooo excited when she saw a squirrel this morning that she did a sideways somersault off the ramp and landed on her side. Ouch!

2. Calvin got soooooooo excited to go back in the house (after he chased the squirrel) that in the process of jumping onto the ramp he belly flopped and hurt his "little man part". He then got hit with the door. Ouch! Ouch!

3. Each dog had a bloody paw (most likely due to stumble-bumbles #1 and #2). Triple Ouch!

4. Toni was attacked by an evil green sparkly pipe cleaner. No amount of scratching, rubbing against furniture, and head spinning could dislodge it from her collar. And to make things worse, instead of removing it I took pictures and started calling Toni "Antennae Toni", "Command Center Toni", "A,T,&T-oni", etc.

5. Toni tripped over all her feet on our walk and fell nose first into the pavement. BOOM! Ouch!
