Happy Canada Day & cookie jar contest result

Happy Canada Day!

This afternoon, we'll be out in a little town called Oxford Mills to enjoy a concert of various local talented people. Later today, off to Kemptville to see a parade and then to a steak and dinner dance at our local college. Some good, old fashioned fun.

This photo is from a couple of years ago...back in our "3 dog" life. From left to right: Our mixed breed Mulligan, Siberian Husky Bailey (she always hated to wear her Canada Day hat!), and Giant Schnauzer Cinder.
Since tomorrow is a holiday, I'm hoping to get my Newfoundland vacation photos organized so I can post some for you.

An update on the cookie jar contest...
My "Guess the Number of Dog Cookies in the Cookie Jar" contest had 5 guesses: 158, 216, 120, 419, 123. Believe it or not, 419 was the closest guess. Actual number of cookies: 399.
Winner of a little something is....Christine!
The guessing game was inspired by a donation I made to the Canines with a Cause garage & bake sale, so the little gift will be a few notecards from CWAC. These notecards are prints made from an original pencil drawing by Miriam Mas, founder of CWAC. The image is our dog Bailey (as a pup), who passed away in September 2005. I asked Miriam to use prints of the drawing as an ongoing CWAC fundraiser. Even though the prints aren't a Giant Schnauzer...hope you enjoy them Christine!

Great contest Sara. And I enjoyed your Canada Day Post --- with the hats! Isn't it funny how some enjoy their hats and some don't! Hope you had a great day with lots of fun. Karalyn/Southern California Giant Schnauzer Rescue

Christine is a worthy winner of your contest!! :-)) Really liked your pictures of the dogs in their hats. Only a couple of ours tolerate hats. Most would rather chew on them I think.
