Bark In The Park and Birthday Week kick-off.

My birthday is next Saturday, I will be 6 years old. This year I started the festivities off with a visit from Cousin Rocky and Aunt Lu. They arrived on Saturday, and we went to Frick Park. It was getting pretty dark by the time we got there, but it was nice because it was much cooler. We like this park. The dogs that visit there are always friendly, and, there is always a dog bowl sitting by the water fountain!

After our walk we went for ice cream!

We got these yummy doggie treats. We ate some at the ice cream place, but something scared me there, so we brought the second bag home to eat.

On Sunday we got up bright and early to go to BARK IN THE PARK, which is a big fundraiser for the Animal Friends Shelter.

Elvis was there to start things off on the main stage..

After the welcome and announcements there was a humane hike.

Then, it was time to hit the Vegas Strip to shop the vendor tables, raffles,food and games.

This place was very special because it was where they were selling the hot dogs and hamburgers!
We begged, and we got some hamburger!

We cooled off at the Bellagio water Station.

We got all fixed up with bows at the Canine Ranch Spa!

This pit bull was having a really good day. We found out he was getting adopted by this guy over at the Wedding Chapel - bet he is going to be watching some Steelers football this year!

This is the shelters' brand new mobile clinic! The goal is to spay/neuter 24,000 pets over 3 years - Wowzers!

Here we are relaxing after the big event.

A good time was had by all!

Psssssst...

Maisie here... HI! HOW YA ALL DOIN?? HELLO !! HELLO!! HI!!.....Oh, yeah, gotta settle down, I'm hijackin' this blog while Morgan is out in the yard barking at something. I went back to school - for 4 more weeks- at Animal Friends, that shelter where our kitties came from. This time I was in the 5 to 9 month puppy class.
It's a really nice place. This is the main entrance:

This is the back patio where my classroom was:

This is a place where families can sit outside to "meet your match" See that St. Francis statue there? (click to bigify) He is there to make sure everything goes well..

We practiced some agility stuff at the last class. It was pretty wild!

Every pup was all like "what's this?" It was fun!

Here's the best part, at the end of the last class we all got to go to the enclosed dog park that they have and play with each other. We even had a pool party! Mom found out you can rent the park for 10 dollars an hour and bring up to 10 doggies at a time, so, maybe we will do that sometime and bring Morgan with us.

On the way home, mom decides she likes the view from the freeway, so she pulls over and jumps out of the car and starts taking pictures. So here are her pictures of downtown Pittsburgh.

This is the "North Side" of the city. See that 57? That would be where your
Heinz Ketchup got its start. Geez, mum, would you please just stay in the car and drive?

Night Walkies.

Unless she is really, really tired mom always takes us for a walk after she comes home from work. We go up our street,

check our pee-mail,

Then we go down this street and get more mail,

cross here,

and go up this street, then back home.

Do you see the full moon?

Amber, over at Army of Four , has more information about this night sky stuff. Go check it out.

Look!

I was reading some of your blogs, and noticing all the nice thoughts about Charlie, and thinking about all the hard work his parents put into creating Dogs With Blogs, and Cats with Blogs for us so we could all get to know one another, and how he must of been a real inspiration for them, and I saw THIS! I believe that is my name, in the sand, with Ludo! All the way over in St. Bees! Wow! Thanks, Ludo, you really know how to cheer a girl up!

We have been doing a whole lot of nothing..

Just hanging out. It's been goofy weather, lots of rain, and kind of cold for the middle of summer. Everything is really green though!
The cool weather really gets us moving! Look, we're just blurs in this picture!

Here we are arguing over the pink purse. Mom said we should just stop it because the only place that's open at 3AM is Wal-Mart, and they aren't gonna let us in anyhow.
