Just for Fun!
| DOG DAYS - August 2008 |
| The 2nd Annual Olde Towne Dog Days was held on Saturday, August 2. We missed the event last year, because Breeze was delivering puppies! So, this year, we had to go! Over 50 neighborhood dogs and their humans arrived for a great morning of fun. I'm not sure who had more fun - the humans or the dogs. The day began with the parade of dogs. |

| Celebrity Look-Alike Contest Ozzy entered as "Rin Tin Tin". Other contestants included "Frank" from Men in Black, "Toto" from Wizard of Oz, "Petey" from the Littlel Rascals, and "Benji" |
| Ozzy had his paw read by a local Swami. He predicted a warm summer due to Ozzy's thick coat, lots of spoiling, and a wonderful life. We think he got that one right! |
| The final event of the day was the "Olde Towne Derby". Lots of excitement was building as the dogs and humans lined up at the starting line. With the theme from "Chariots of Fire" playing, the race began. Ozzy with Kelsey in tow won 2nd place! First place went to a beautiful young pit bull female who looked just like Petey from The Little Rascals. |

| Ozzy's Adventure |
| Ozzy traveled to Lexington, VA May 8 - 10 and attended an AKC Fun Match, spent the weekend at the beautiful Fox Hill B&B in Fairfield, explored Sweet Briar College, participated in both obedience and Rally-O events, and enjoyed time with his family hiking and playing. What a great weekend ! |

| Fox Hill Bed & Breakfast, Fairfield, Virginia exceeded our expectations for a pet friendly, welcoming environment. Ozzy gives Fox Hill 4 paws up! |
| While we honored the "please keep pets off furniture" request, during playtime Ozzy jumped up to give Kelsey a kiss. |

| "Dogge Daze" - 2009 |
| The 3rd Annual Olde Towne Dogge Daze was held on Saturday, August 1. This event grows in attendance and activities every year. The day started with an hour of socialization and photos. This year's contests included a "doggy cake walk" (prizes were specially made dog treats), "best kisser", "most original costume", "most talented" and the "Olde Towne Doggy Derby." Volunteer donations throughout the day went to charity. What a wonderful event! We had a blast, even in August Virginia heat and humidity. |
