Furry Friends Festival

Yesterday was sooooo much fun. Mommy, Daddy, Moxie and me drove down to Everett to the Furry Friends Festival. It was an event held to raise money for all the poor little puppy mill dogs who were rescued in Snohomish and Skagit County here in Washington. Here is a link to one story about the puppy mill: http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_021009WAB-puppy-mill-arraign-sw.1e6b0f7.html.

The fundraiser was a lot of fun. There were people selling cool clothes for Moxie and me, and all the other doggies, too. They had treats for me all over the place. There was also a room that had several other Chi's like me waiting to be adopted. My mommy met some of them and thought they were so cute she wanted to bring home another brother or sister for me. There was a cute little girl named Bambi who is just about my age. She is white and tan and very, very shy. She was rescued from a puppy mill. The people running the puppy mill made her get pregnant when she was VERY young. All of the puppies died because she was too young to have them. When that happened the puppy mill people decided to get rid of her. She is so sweet, and her story is so sad.

Another one of the doggies was named Scooter. He has problems walking, kind of like me. His back legs don't work very well so he scoots to get around. He also has a little wheelchair that helps him to get around even better. He is about 3 years old. Scooter was just so happy that he kept licking everyone's hands and waiting to be loved.

Mommy would have loved to bring them both home, but Daddy said no. I guess it would have been fun to have another brother or sister, but I'm kinda glad Daddy said no. I don't think i want to share Mommy and Daddy with anyone else right now. :)

We stayed at the fundraiser for most of the day enjoying the booths and checking out all the other doggies. There were BIG dogs and other little dogs, but I was definitely the cutest. I wore my new "No Puppy Mills" t shirt and it was a BIG hit. I posted a picture of what the back of my shirt looks like. The shirt was a little bit too big, but Mommy sewed it for me to make it fit better.

I was sooooooo tired when we got home. I took a nap and slept for most of the night. It was a fun and very busy day.
