Pup-A-Licious!!

Despite the weather forecast, and the overcast, gray skies, we could not have asked for a more perfect day! The temperatures were just right, the southern breeze was nice and, with the exception of about 30 seconds of sprinkles that fell from the sky, there was no rain at our fourth annual Helping Paws event!!

Thirty-four four-legged cuties graced our studio with their adorable faces, expressions, tongues and big personalities!! We had only two kitties this year, but they were beautiful kitties with plenty of spunk! We had a four pound Papillion and a ninety pound Golden Retriever. We had all black dogs and all white dogs. We had fun, crazy hair cuties, and sleek, smooth coat cuties. We had well trained show dogs and energy filled, never stopping dogs. All in all, it was an amazing day with amazing cuties!!

As always, the day was made even more perfect by the fabulous donations!! I love hearing the donation shopping stories. Our attendees always seem to have so much fun looking for, and shopping for, the perfect donations. AND, it shows!! Another year, another amazing pile of donations – from toys to blankets to treats to collars to grooming supplies. Thank you all, so very much!! I can not wait to make the big Santa Claus delivery to Wayside Waifs!

To my fantastic helpers…who keep coming back every year to support me…Helping Paws would not be a successful event with you. It means the world to me that you are always there to support me…I wouldn’t be who I am without you! (Thank you…Tracy, Lori, Chris, Bert & Pete!)

A big thank you also goes out to all of our partners who donated goodies to stuff our goodie bags full! Each furry kiddo, that attended Helping Paws, was sure to leave with a bag full of awesomeness!!

Waggiewear, we love your collars, and think it’s just awesome that you give a collar to all of our puppy participants!!

Becky and Sunflower Creations, your fun bandanas, that just slip right on the collar, are perfect for every stylish doggie!

Thank you Blackbob Pet Hospital, Personable Pets Training, Tails R’ Waggin, Natural Pet Food & Supply and Gentle Dog Training for your treats and fun goodies, they helped stuff our goodie bags full!!

Of course, no goodie bag would be complete without the Photography by Brandi blue and green! Each kiddo walked away with either a blue or green ball or a furry mouse! Not to mention, I must spoil them all with treats!! Happy eating kiddos!!
