Birthday Bash For a Good Cause!!

On Saturday, my family and I went to Cave B Estate Winery to celebrate Cuvee's birthday. Cuvee is the sweet black Lab girl who lives there. Being as sweet as she is, she decided to turn her birthday bash into a fundraiser for the Skagit Valley Puppy Mill dogs that were recently rescued. Click on the link to read about them. :) What a pawesome thing to do!! It was the first time I had met her and we got along very well....she is super mellow and friendly! :) She is the cute one above with the yellow and green bandana.

At her birthday bash, there were lots of fun things to do like run around the vineyard, try out an agility course that was set up, partake in "Yappy Hour"(there were lots of yummy treats and they even had mint flavored water), hike down through the canyon, meet and greet other dogs, bobbing for bones, and my Auntie Lori was there talking about basic training! Lori is the president of my dog club plus I go to her for classes and doggy daycare. :) She even had Mom and I come up and show everyone how I spin. Good thing too because after that people didn't think I was just a crazy, high energy girl. You see, when I first came in I was a bit excited and one man said to my Mom that when I first came in he was thinking I was "out of control" whatever that means but when he saw me doing all of my tricks he thought I was very well behaved. :) I just get excited in new situations what can I say....I will never be a dog who lies calmly at her human's feet and chills....NOPE, I am the one running around saying hello to everyone, sniffing all the scents, and searching for any food that has been dropped. BOL! All in all I think I was pretty well behaved...I didn't knock anything over or eat anyone's food or sip their wine, and I didn't steal the birthday cake. ;)

There were also lots of people with different booths set up and one was a dog photographer, Erin Vey. Go check out her site....she takes AMAZING photos of us canines. My friends Gus and Waldo just told me that there was a dog on her site that looks like me. GUESS WHAT??? It is ME!! What a privilege to be photographed by her because she takes such great dog photos! ;) Check out the one with my Mom's legs in there too but don't linger too long on her legs...notice how focused I am!! And that dude thought I was out of control...HMMMPH!!


Enjoying some play time with the birthday girl!




Hiking and taking in the beautiful views!

As I said, they had an agility course set up for us dogs. Here I am warming up with a little jump through the hoop. :)

This was the highest jump and the first few times I got to it I would veer to the left and go around it. ;)

Not this time though....I made it!!

Mom was very proud! Check out her Medusa hair...BOL!
