Saturday my friend Rich and I went to the Annual Canine Christmas festival sponsored by the Animal Network to raise funds for our local animal needs.
As I strolled and Rich rolled, we were met with signs everywhere.
I took this so my blogger CAT friends would not panic thinking Dogs Only
No kitties present because of more than 1000 dogs that attended. But they do get part of the funds raised.
Can you guess who paid the DOLLAR to kiss the pup above? don't tell them but I would have paid 5.00 to kiss him.
I copied this message from the official web site of
Canine Christmas,
Canine Christmas 12 was an incredible
success. We had over 30 dog or potential adoptions. It was a beautiful day, and
as usual it is amazing to have over 1000 dogs behaving so well. We had a record
setting 50/50 raffle with the winner and the Animal Network splitting $
3,440.00. All together we raised close to $ 10,000.00, which is also a record. I
would like to thank all the participants, vendors and volunteers who contribute
so much to make our event such a good and profitable time.

You can tell we were comfy temps wise, bright sunshine and lots of shade.
Plus Rudolph the Red Nose
Reindeer Donkey, my friend Skeeter
Dogs little and Dogs big... almost every breed was represented. I took 386 photos, look for ALL of them this week..... KIDDING! don't panic, only a few dozen will appear.
MORE PHOTOS ON THE WAY.... are you SHOCKED???
That sure was a successful event . Soooo many dogs. I love dogs. The ones on your post are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs are all so cute and it's good to see Skeeter again. This looks like a great event, it's good to hear it was so successful. Thanks for including the Kitty Korner banner, you know I'm a big advocate of TNR.
ReplyDeleteThe Smooch a Pup booth is a cute idea. I'll bet they made a lot of dollars.
This looks like an amazing event and I am happy to read the amount of money that was raised. Love that Skeeter!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, love the moss hanging from the trees, perfect backdrop.
That Rich is one handsome dude!
What a fantastic event! It breaks my heart to see precious animals in need--but, I feel elated remembering there are so many who care. I hope you got more than one kiss!!
ReplyDeleteBest,

ReplyDeleteNeat to have this for so many dogs...really nice
ReplyDeleteLove your shots of all the doggies! Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteWell you're not called the "Mad Just Looker" are you? Looks like a lot of fun, and the dogs do look so well behaved. My little "chicken little" would be barking her head off and cowering in my wife's arms.
ReplyDeleteGreat event! Great post. My fav image so far was black dog and Skeeter checking each other out. Made me chuckle!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news! They are all so cute! Especially Skeeter and the black doggy! I would have spent so many dollars to smooch those adorable puppy dogs!
