bark in the park

last weekend evan and i took a lovely drive down a very skinny, very windy little road, to help out the dog rescue i volunteer with, at this years bark in the park. it was such an amazingly beautiful day, and the fact that there were about 1000 dogs there certainly didn't hurt the fun factor...

evan gives betty a little snuggle...

this is one of mirabelle's brothers!

oh, hello sweetness

big and little...

EARS!

oscar is sweet as pie...

kiddos and puppies, a match made in heaven!

hershey, so chubby and my favorite of the day...

hello bart!

and a few non-doggie friends were there too! these are some sort of scottish cow. i forget their names, but they were so adorable with there long frizzy hair and big brown eyes. love 'em!

and a baby one relaxing under a shady tree... heart-melt!

i started working with North Mecklenburg Animal Rescue shortly after evan and i moved down to NC from NY. they used to be located just outside of charlotte and i would go almost every day to help out. then because of zoning issues they had to move about an hour and 45 mins away... sadness indeed! i'm so excited though because they've recently purchased a building back here in charlotte and will be moving back in a couple of months. that means lot of afternoons taking dogs for walks and giving snuggles all around. i can't wait!
