woof, woof



You all know how much I love dogs. So you can imagine how THRILLED I was to stumble upon the 4th Annual Art Bark Festival this weekend up in Tahoe. My favorite friends, the Van Dyke's, invited me to come up and hang with them at their cabin. We thought it would be cool to connect up in Squaw Valley for lunch. I decided to ride my bike there and meet them around noon. I pull up and there are pooches everywhere, especially my favorite (do I really need to mention???)... GOLDIES! Proceeds for the day benefited the Humane Society of Truckee Tahoe and Squaw Rescue Dogs.

I felt like I had dog on the mind the rest of the weekend. It was only fitting that the guests we had over for dinner that night were also dog lovers. I spent the evening asking Vicky (who is the proud owner of 4 dogs, including one goldy) how she fed her muts. Vicky claimed the best way to keep your dogs healthy was to cook for them. No joke, this woman cooks for 4 dogs every other day!!! She said their favorite meals are rice, cottage cheese and tuna. She buys everything in bulk at Costco. What a diva!

Someday I'll have my own pooch. And I think Vicky has me convinced that I'll be cooking for it too... :)

oooh, dogs! Sweet. Ms. Chatterbox goes ga-ga everytime we see a puppy. We could end up being the couple with a house full of dogs if we did not restrain ourselves.
