2013 Dog Bowl

Hello.  How are you?  I'm good.  It's been a long time since I've posted, and much has gone on, but I thought I'd start with something fun that we recently did.

The Girls Scouts and I helped out at the 2013 Dog Bowl which was held in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. 

Basically the Cotton Bowl is turned into one big giant dog park.  The Girl Scout's role was to keep the kiddie pools and buckets filled with water. It turned into a full-time job, but it was fun. Here's two of my favorite men - Rominal and my brother David. They came along too.

The girls job was to keep kiddie pools and buckets filled with water for the dogs.

This turned out to be quite a job. Bailey clearly loved being around all of the dogs.

This little white dog went to every pool and scratched at the side of it - as though he would find a hidden bone. The other dog didn't seem to mind.

It was so neat to see all of the different dogs. We didn't see any fighting, just lots of running around.

This dog reminded me of the dog I grew up with, Tim.

And no one told this little dog how little he was. He chased the Frisbee all over the park.

While some dogs chased the water.

How cute is this?  This woman carried her dog out of the park - he clearly loved her.

It was neat to see a handicapped dog, doing quite well.

And another dog with three legs - who seemed to have a great time.

Can't leave out a picture of a well-dressed dog.
