Friday night's Going to the Dogs Dinner & Races event was a great success...and lots of fun too! I even managed to snag an item at the silent auction...a certificate for grooming. Our new Cassie is definitely in need of a hair cut. 
It's called a day at the "Spaw". John was heard commenting that he has never had a day at the spa, so it goes to show where he ranks in the family. (just for the record, I've never had a day at the spa either!)
The BARK picnic in August raised over $6000! Congratulations to Sharon and all the volunteers who made it a success.
Cassie update: things are progressing nicely with the new family. Cinder's nose was a little out of joint for the first couple of days and she growled every time Cassie got near her. We were thinking that Mulligan might be a little aggressive towards Cassie, but actually she is quite submissive. We're on Day 5 now, and they were all playing together outside today.
This is the new gang on our daily visit to the bench at the back of the yard.
Cassie (foreground) and Cinder...our two big black girls. John bought a mini tire from the adoption centre because Cassie had been playing with one when we first met her. Both Mulligan and Cassie love to fetch it....and sometimes they even bring it back.
So, our life with 3 dogs seems to be progressing nicely.
One more name suggestion arrived by email for our Pumpkin Biscuit Naming Contest:
Howwwlllllling Pumpkins
We've received so many great suggestions that we'll probably be narrowing it down to 5 or so of our favourites. Get ready to cast your vote! And, we'll be selecting a photo to use on our pumpkin tag. If you have a photo you want us to consider (preferably with a pumpkin in it) send it by email in the next few days. Don't forget it needs to be a high resolution photo and will work best in a landscape style (not portrait style) ie, the photo should be wider than it is high.
Guess what? I sent out our first Christmas order of the season today. Seems to get earlier every year. I'll be adding our Happy Holidogs to our web site sometime in October...I just can't add it in September.
There are a few fun events planned for the next few weeks. I'll be posting about that soon. Pug lovers, greyhound lovers, aussie lovers, and bully lovers, and general dog lovers stay tuned!

I can't wait to see the before and after of Cassie. The "before" grooming and the "after" grooming.
I'm so glad Cassie is fitting in with the rest of the family.
I went to the spa for the first time a few years ago, it was a gift. I think they are a bit over rated...but that's just me. I'd rather be doing something outdoors.
