Joy’s Very Merry Un-Birthday Celebration of Dogs of the Village

THE DOGS PLAYED BALL, tug of war, chased each other, romped in the water and seemed to have a great time. Photos by Bob Cooley.

A big thank you to my Village Friends, both humans and dogs who either came to or helped prepare for the celebration. It was a great success!

The rain didn’t stop us. People asked me if we had a rain date. “No, the way I see it, those doggies do need to get out and go, so they should come.” And come they did! The music played, the dogs played ball, tug of war, chased each other, romped in the water and seemed to have a great time. Even those who sat on or under the the benches and just watched.

And, I think most of us humans did too, meeting new friends, and even being offered a free dog bath after the party at “Now You’re Clean.”

It was the best Un-Birthday I’ve ever had. Thank you! —Joy
