miski wins the prize for best dressed!

 

woke up bright and early, well not as early as jose poor thing, and went to the derby dog walk this morning at our town oval.  signed miski up, helped her burn off some energy on the field, and then we all went walking for about 30 minutes to raise money for our animal welfare group.  had a sausage sizzle and snow-cones (yes!) and other treats. even some home baked doggie treats that miski was all over!  then they set up an agility course and people competed for prizes.  miski is far too ill behaved for such activities.  but we did come prepared for the fancy dress part.  i put her little raincoat on and her fire chief hat i made for her yesterday and she took first prize! so what if only 4 dogs entered.  and i know this classifies me as a crazy dog lady and yet i don't care. these pics show our town oval with participants, me with miski, miski with her spoils for winning first prize, and miski with her outfit on.  more pics under the Derby 2011 album.  then after a bunch of friends/co-workers came over and we all made a couple of dishes to share and to teach other's the recipes. it was good fun and the food was amazing. i made salteñas :)  now for a nap.

miski's outfit for the millions of paws walk-a-thon!

how cute is she!  we got the little raincoat for her in freo with this event in mind. i made her this little fire chief hat to go with it today. can't wait to show it off tomorrow :) it's to raise money for stray animals.  we had a really successful garage sale shopping day today...got loads of stuff. i even got a bike - finally!  jose started his new job yesterday and is very happy with that.  good weekend.  got a cookup planned after the walk tomorrow too. yum  more photos in the Derby 2011 Album
