More fun for the bucket list

Found a few new things to add to the bucket list:

-Dog Days of Summer at The Water Garden at Cuyamaca College. Every wednesday night in summer from 4-7 pm. Free entry.

-Kayaking, yoga and more with Leash Your Fitness! The dogs received a free class coupon at the party last week. Not sure Greenlee will be up for yoga but hoping to go kayaking!

-Eat at Anthony's Fish Grotto. The La Mesa location allows lakeside dining with your dog and has a dog park. Great!

-Free Fido Meal at Craves in OB.

Party Animal!

National Dog Party Day


Wow what a blast at National Dog Party Day in San Diego! Greenlee is a party animal. She was non stop moving around at Camp Run A Mutt.

Ready to party!


The night started with a bunch of intros and thank yous. When the MC requested "paws up" and cheering, Diego and Greenlee went nuts! The both bark everytime people clap. Then the party games started. After Snoopy Says What? which both dogs dropped out of early, we walked around and gobbled snacks. The party was a fundraiser for SNAP , a spay and neuter mobile clinic. The SNAP volunteers walked around with homemade appetizers. All the food was dog friendly in case it ended up on the floor.  Greenlee would not get out of the way at the Honest Kitchen demo table. She waited and waited for a sample. The demo girl gave her one tiny scoop! She wanted the whole giant bowl.

Tunnel of love game

Fast but she wouldn't kiss me at the end.
Greenlee and I participated in the tunnel of love game. She was excited to go through the tunnel and could barely wait her turn. The game involved kissing your dog, crawling through an agility tunnel with them, then getting them to kiss you at the end. Greenlee dashed through the tunnel and kept going! Ususally she's in your face and always trying to lick your face. So we lost the game but I'm hopeful she will kick butt at the Weiner Dog races in August.

Here are more pictures from the party. Can't wait to go again!
Diego making friends. He was great!

Chuck was a good sport and went too.

What a get up.

Hello big dog!


The bucket was a little big. Someone brought out small bowls after awhile.







Hanging out together after the big night.

Ready for National Dog Party Day!

Greenlee is back from her stay at Victoria's Doggie Hotel. Victoria said she ran circles around the big dogs and led the pack on their walks. She is doing amazingly well and is  gaining weight, running laps around the yard like a crazy dog, and chewing up as many dog toys as possible.

I received a few suggestions to add to the bucket list:
Eat a breakfast burrito. (Not sure she will get the whole thing)
Meet Saylor and go to the park.
Go to the OB Farmer's Market.

I should be back to taking her around to get things marked off her list this week and will post a few pictures. The Dog Days of Summer application includes a lot of paperwork and will require me to get a dog license. I've failed to do this yet but need to get on it. The big game will be July 17. Hopefully she makes the invite list. National Dog Party Day is next week. Our tickets are booked and we all look foward to heading to Camp Run A Mutt for the best dog party around.
