BARL Summer Camp

Q attended Doggie Days Summer Camp last week and she LOVED it! It is the first year that our rescue league, BARL, put on this camp. The kids learned all about animals...safety around strange dogs, how to treat animals, what a veterinarian does, what a groomer does, what agility training is, teaching your dog tricks, etc. They learned songs and did arts and crafts. We celebrated at the end of the week with a "Pooch Parade," where each child could walk their dog in a big parade.
Gimmie so kindly volunteered to bring Wiley so that Q could walk him in the parade. T loved visiting with "Liley"...as he called him.
The pups on parade were led by a Brookhaven Fire Dept fire engine.
Brad and T watching the parade.
Here is Q's team...the Pupsqueaks...posing with their pets.
Afterwards, all the kids (and dogs if they wanted) got to cool off in the water park..fun fun!

What a great idea!!! How much fun...
I have to imagine that you have been having many of the same conversations we have around here, as our kids are constantly begging for a new dog....
I know Q is such an animal lover!
