Events
This post is waaaay overdue- can I blame the Phoenix heat?
The record-breaking heat here has made it tough for dogs and the people who love them. That’s why Glendale’s Dog Days of Summer event held last Saturday was such a pleasure.
Organizers realized that people and their dogs are up early this time of year and held the benefit from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. It was terrific timing and people showed up even earlier than the 7 a.m. start time.
The whole thing benefitted Sun Valley Animal Shelter — there were free dog treats, parades, booths. Most importantly it was held in the grassy Murphy Park with plenty of shade. It was terrific to see dogs have a chance to do something other than sleep and sweat; it was equally terrific to see their people swap dog stories with others and make new human and canine friends.
What a great event — it’s weird that I am saying this — but can’t wait for next summer and the chance to do it again.
