Yappy Hour

All American Yappy Hour is marked off the bucket list. Turned out to be pretty lame. La Jolla Brew House is a dog friendly  restaurant which is cool.  Yappy hour was a fundraiser for a local dog rescue. Greenlee and I were looking foward to ordering from the dog menu, wining the snug pet resort gift certificate, seeing the adoptable dogs and raising money for the rescue. Chuck and I got there with Greenlee a half hour after it started. There was one other group with a dog and no one from the rescue. After awhile three ladies showed up, wondering where to go and what they needed to do. Turns out they were from the rescue! They didn't have any dogs, never spoke to us, were totally disorganized, didn't know how to hold a raffle and spent the next hour or so trying to figure out how to hold a raffle for the amazing prizes the owner of the restaurant gave them. Not once did they approach us, thank us for coming or ask for a donation. Lame. By the time we left there were 5 dogs and still no raffle tickets to sell. Needless to say the rescue did not get a donation from us, I left without any prizes, and Greenlee never got to see the doggie menu. She did get a free dog bone though so it wasn't a total waste. And I have renewed appreciation for Sustainable Harvest International and San Diego AAZK- two organizations that know how to raise money and do amazing things!
