The event started off with a doggie parade from Brian Boru's and down to Tommy's Park in the heart of Portland, where the festivities continued with fun doggie events all day! Booths from local rescue groups and shelters, local dog businesses, face painting, adorable adoptable dogs, a special signing by artist and author Stephen Huneck, and tons more fun!
And of course we were there to represent Friends Of Homeless Animals, Inc.! Monty was dressed up in his fanciest FOHA garb, with an "Adopt Me" bandanna and all, ready to meet any potential adopters!
He was schmoozing people left and right, and was on his very best behavior! He was quite the crowd favorite and even made several photos ops, including not one, not two but THREE photos on the Planet Dog facebook page, and made the cover of their Flickr album! He also made Down East Dog's photo album of the event! (See images 16, 17 and 18)
Overall it was a wonderful event, and considering the horrible weather streak we've been in, we were so fortunate to have sun and nice weather! Everyone was having a great time, human and dogs like, and we are already looking forward to next years event! Thank you Planet Dog for putting on such a great time!
On our way home we stopped by our vet to drop off some fliers, and Monty, having had a long and eventful day, took the opportunity to sneak in a nap...
