Well, yesterday was the fabulous 3rd annual Party in the Park hosted by the Animal Welfare League of Charlotte County! There were tons of gorgeous dogs, neat vendors, more great dogs, and the great people that loved and cared for them.

I was honored to be attending as a vendor. This was my first real event, so I learned a whole lot. We purchased a tent that had removable sides, and when we arrived (after getting lost!) it was FREEZING (for Florida, anyways) and extremely windy (we were right off the water), so we decided to put the sides up. After my dad left, my mom and I almost got blown away with the tent, so we had help taking down the sides, which meant my whole display nearly got blown away. My canvas went flying about 5 times, but it survived! Although the tent didn’t have the greatest appearance, a lot of people stopped by and had photos taken of their pooch! It was a great day, and I’m so glad my mom was there to help me out and attract people to our tent.

Here’s part 1 of the pups who stopped by for a photo shoot!

(Please forgive me if I forgot your dog’s name! I ended up writing the doggy names down after a few dogs stopped by!)

(L) Forgot… (SORRY!!!) (R) Spike

Tasha. She had the coolest sunglasses! I love the reflection of Spike and his mom in the first shot.

(L) Molly. She made my job so much easier. All I had to do was say her name or hold up a treat and she gave me her undivided attention. She’s adorable!!! (R) Toby the cute Maltese!

(L) Cookie. I love her hair! (R) Sadie. She has the sweetest face.

A big thanks goes out to all who stopped by our tent and showed your support and encouragement! We appreciate you so much (and your pups)!

Look for part 2 tomorrow!
