We (Almost) Went to the Animal Faire

The annual Eastern Madera County SPCA Animal Faire was scheduled for today. It's one of the most fun days of the year and a great fundraiser for our local SPCA. We have contests for the dogs and their people, information booths, demonstrations, food, and an abundance of great raffle prizes. The day starts with a "Tails on the Trail (pledge) dog walk. The pooches, with their person, walk a lap around the park then down the trail along the river, back up to the parking lot and into the park again. For those pets who want (or need) there's also a Blessing of the Animals by a local priest in honor of St. Francis' day. It's a great time enjoyed by dogs and their people alike.

Until this year ...


"Rained out? Oh no! What about my blessing? Hope it gets rescheduled!"
