It’s a Doggy Dogg World, tribute to the D-O-Double-G!

I have a real phobia of dogs, so last weekend I decided I would go to the Furry Scurry at Wash Park and face my fears. It worked. I now adore our K-9 community. Just kidding, if anyone knows me, they know that I LOVE dogs. Most of them, at least. The Furry Scurry is a 2 mile fun run at Wash Park, where G, Jenny, and I jog often. I also love riding around that park on my fixie. We met friends Steve, Cara, and Tucker. You might recognize them from this earlier post.

So I have a ton of photos, so I will stop typing…

Dogg #2, Here is my favrite childhood cartoon character! I think he has the munchies. Hey did you ever see the Scooby Doo episodes where Scooby would be hiding from a ghost or zombie, and something would drop on his toe? Then he’d dance around trying not to yelp, then he’d find a jar and yelp into the jar and close the lid. Later the zombie would open the jar and out would come a “YOWWWWWWW!!!!!” from the jar. I wish we could do that in real life!

Jenny trained Gary to sit patiently for snack. Isn’t he a good boy?

I don’t know this guy, but I though it would be fun to get a few shots of doggies with their owners… I am a people watcher, too, ya know. I think it’s interesting to see what kind of 4-legged companions certain people are attracted to.

I love this little shaver. Dripping from a drink of aqua.

Bloodhound Competitor. Does anyone remember the name of the Bloodhound in “Best in Show”? Eubert? “PeaNUT… HazelNUT… All natural, white pistachio NUT, pineNUT, walNUT” (one of the funniest movies EVER)

    Love the pictures! Koda is jealous and wants a doggie sundae!

  2. Ghost Dog Says:

    Really great stuff! That first dog kinda looks like my Phoebe. Love the Dane as well (used to have one…still miss that big loveable goofball).

    I check out your blog every so often and am now bookmarking this story. I love dogs. I have the sweetest border collie mix named Bear. You can see photos of him on my blog. Your dogs are super cool although Gary is a little scary….he’s a big softie on the inside, right?

  4. Jenny Says:

    Yee haw!! That was so much fun babe :) Your photos are so great! - love, your girlfriend

  5. Jenny Says:

    I’m so glad that Snoop showed up with his sweet little doggies too - he was a joy. Kind of a potty mouth, but a very nice man. ;)
