DROH HALLOWIENER KICKOFF

QUOTE OF THE DAY:


"Sometimes you can't believe what you see. You have to believe what you feel." -- Morrie Schwartz

Hi friends,

Today the Mommy is taking over my blog to tell you about the Hallowiener Party that DROH has every year. Saturday the Mommy dropped me off at Aunt Judy's and I stayed with the boys while she and Aunt Judy went to help get the invitations ready to be mailed. It was held at Suzanne's house where it always is and after they got finished they were going to have a complete Mexican dinner with margaritas too.

Here is the front of the invitation

The first thing you saw, if you came in the front door, was the welcoming committee -- there were 11 doggies in attendance.

If you came in through the garage, this was the reception you got.

So after a little socializing, playing with the dogs & drinking margaritas the work table was setup and the work began. Here are some pictures of the process. We had quite an assembly line going and the whole process took less than 3 hours to complete. Notice Frodo was helping one of the ladies put labels on the return envelopes.

After all that hard work, the food was ready and everybody chowed down. Suzanne & her husband were our host & hostess. This Mexican feast has become a tradition. Here they are making margaritas.

This big pot had screeded beef for tacos. It was so tender and better than any meat I've ever had in a restaurant.

Of course what would a Mexican dinner be without Mexican sweetbreads? Of course none of the dogs got any except for one of the Winnies' (the black & tan one), that ate every crumb that fell on my chest. She jumped into my lap and because it was very flaky she had quite a treat.

Of course, as you can see, all the dogs were underfoot checking for anything that might have dropped on the floor. What's that saying about hope springs eternal?

Before I introduce the pups in attendance, here are a few random pictures.

Now let me introduce the dogs. The first five dogs all belong to Suzanne and her family.

This long haired beauty is SOPHIE (the first dog they adopted from DROH).

This is LENNY, originally Madeleine before she was adopted from DROH.

This is the other WINNIE, with Judy, also adopted from DROH. If you remember, you have all seen her before in the Spring Fling pictures.

This is FRODO, he is supposed to be a dachshund/cocker mix.

And the last of their dachshunds is VIENNA, she was also adopted from DROH and was also in the Spring Fling pictures.

This is the WINNIE that ate all the crumbs off my chest. She is a foster and is available for adoption.

This little chocolate fellow is SAM I AM. He is a foster and is available for adoption. Looks just like Jody but even smaller.

This is MAXINE. She is not available for adoption. Suzanne was dog sitting her.

This little girl is JILL. She and her brother Jack were just adopted but haven't been taken to their new parents yet.

And this is JACK.

This last picture is the before picture of one of our dachshunds. He was so skinny, emaciated and had such a long neck, that the rescuer name him GEOFFREY THE GIRAFFE.

This is GEOFFREY today. Doesn't even look like the same dog does he? He is not available for adoption. Suzanne was dog sitting him too.

Oh yes, I forgot to tell you Maxine and Geoffrey are brother and sister now. They were adopted by a man named Joe awhile back. They have new names too, sort of. He is now JEFFY and she is now MAXIE.

As you have all heard me say before, we do what we do for these little ones and so many more like them that would still be on the street or worse if it were not for RESCUE groups of all kinds. God Bless everyone that has always given their time & love to save all of God's creatures.

Love, kisses and (((huggies))) to all.......the Mommy
