Fido Fest

Ruff ruff...bark bark...woof woof...dogs dogs and dogs and more dogs all over U. Village in Seattle where we went for a fundraiser walk organized by Seattle Humane Society this morning. I have never seen so many dogs at one place ever in my life. Ranging from huge ones like Alaskan Malamutes, Newfoundlands and various mix and match of Huskies, German Shepherds to tiny ones like Chihuahua and Pomeranian the place was just filled with doggie laughter and fun! I loved it and so did Bebe. She sniffed and greeted them, charged at a few, barked and scolded some more...but she never got scared, even when she was with dogs three times her size!

What a great effort by volunteers and so many animal lovers to bring a little love and comfort to thousands of homeless animals who are not as fortunate as our adopted babies. Little tiny kittens who scavenge through trash just to keep there little bodies and souls together can be picked up, properly treated and given a chance to get adopted. There is where these funds come to help. Many homeless pups and kitties are sick and badly need medical help, they find them at the shelter. Some are surrendered by families who can no longer care for these animals. Like our own little May, who so badly needed a family to call her own, like Bebe who was scared of humans and was shaking out of fear in her little cooped up kennel, they all get love and care...

Looking at Bebe now who would ever believe that she was scared? Now she stands upright on her little legs brimming with confidence. Ears perked up, with a big doggie grin she pulls on her harness and leaps over the green grass. May calmly curls up on my lap as she knows that to be a safe place... Mota is always the prince. He knows humans are there to cuddle him and be grateful to hear him purr (but that was also possible because he was born at a shelter and they took care of him, his brother and their mom for the entire time before they got adopted.) 

As I love my babies it felt really good to walk together with them to create a world where they will feel loved and safe.. :)
