The kids? The dogs? Or ME? :D We had Santa and the St. Bernards come to work yesterday (about 13 LARGE dogs!) All the proceeds went to the local family inn, for woman and children in need or transition. :thumbsup: Raised a few hundred dollars and everyone had a blast! Cookies, hot chocolate, candy canes, laughter, great big dog kisses, Christmas wishes, pictures with Santa, cart rides with the dogs.

The dog in the walker had a stroke and can not walk YET with out the use of the wheels, they think he may make it, he is 7 months old. The look f pure joy on that dogs face to see the other dogs, the tail wagging when the kids were patting him, warmed your heart to know that no one gave up on poor little Gary.

Lastly we sold a Trailblazer! They said if all 3 of my dogs fit in this truck we'll take it. :D Well there is room for one more!

Enjoy, we did!

You are very welcome. I was just saying...............I am going to tell the owner we will donate an extra 100 in the name of the folks that bought the Trailblazer, if it wasn't for the event we would not have sold the truck to the out of staters. :thumbsup:

I know about selecting vehicles to fit the dogs! We bought our Montero so our supersized Rotts could ride!

Hello, Country Girl,

Great pics. Love those big hugable dogs. Looks like everyone had a great time. Also, what a unique and ingenious
use for that PVC pipe. Wonderful.

Have a Merry Christmas and a great new year.

Revjoel, So how many Rotties do you have? That's another BIG dog.

Ray, If it wasn't for PVC pipe that poor little pup wouldn't be able to get around at all. Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you also. Thanks!

Kimmie,

That looks like a great fund raiser and it appears everybody had a great time.

All except one who's noticeably absent! Where's Mikki?

I can see why your time was limited Saturday! ::)

We are donating an extra 100 in the customers name on the Trailblazer! :thumbsup: The owner said that it was a GREAT idea.

Wes, I told ya! There were tons of Folks here. Micki? She would have had TOO much fun. But.........I don't think they would have been too impressed with Micki insisting she was going to be in all the pictures, she desrved a bite of every cookie, has the right to play with every dog and child alike. :dontknow: :D
