WE WANT TO COME TO THE DOG PARTY!!!
On September 13th, Claire and I saw the boys off on their way to MB for goose hunting and we got in the car and headed to the Chinook Winds Greyhound Foundation Edmonton Annual picnic. We had about 80 dogs registered and about 130 of their people attending with them. I took Sidney and Seymour(they spend most of the afternoon in their xpen in the field) and Chester, who spent some time on leash and some time chilling out in the van.
Chester enjoying the sun during the auction.
Everyone had a great time. Claire was in charge of kid's games and she also got to work our bidding card during the auction. She made a new friend named Hannah and had a fun afternoon.

There was a bag auction (buy tickets and put them in the bag for the item you want to win) and a live auction. There were kid's activities and also a Weiner bobbing game for the doggies. Chester took 2nd place only to be beaten by Bubba the weiner scarfing champion!!! We also had a burger/hotdog BBQ so, that was good too!
This little girl was feeding Chester sunflower seeds off a sunflower.
He was happy to help her pick them!
Bobbing for Weinies!

Sidney and Seymour are out there somewhere in their cozy pen!
My favorite purchase from the live auction.
My greyhound friend, Vanessa, made this stuffed guy and I just love him and
that he came with his own stuffed kong to play with!

The picnic was fab! 80 hounds! wow! It was just a sea of hounds, I couldn't guess how many there were, but I told Bill it had to be more than last year.
I got one of Vanessa's super cute greyhounds, too, and Sabrina's been eyeing it up ever since we got home.
A perfect day and lots of fun meeting everyone and their hounds. :-)
hey...nice gate...
what a great party. Your greyhounds certainly seem much more reserved than I feel 80 Archie's would be!! Even Chester looks like he's getting more normal. Can't wait to see p ics of the polar bear.
I would be lost without that gate. Gotta love Ken Co.!!!
Bobbing for wienies! I love that! LOL Maika did that once and inhaled about two gallons of water along with it. She threw up like you wouldn't believe after that. Never again! LOL
