My store hosted a community movie night for dogs last night. Since my boss had a baby on Wednesday, the event was put mostly into my hands. It was a lot of work, but it as AWESOME.
There's a great little mostly-fenced park around the corner from our store that usually doesn't allow dogs, but we received a by-law exemption for one night. We got a screen set up on the little staging area in the park. We decided to sell liver-sprinkled popcorn and do nail trims on site, and decided to fund-raise for Birch Haven Rescue, an amazing local large.giant breed focused rescue. Therefore, we chose Marmaduke as the movie. Haha.
I wish in retrospect that I had brought Finn because he would have LOVED it, but I was also running around like a beheaded chicken trying to get everything done, so it was probably for the best. Next time I'll bring him and just crate him when I'm busy!
Anyway, some photos from the event, and you can meet some of my favorite customers!
My co-worker Nic and I handing out liver popcorn.
Vania is a foster for Birch Haven rescue. CTV news was covering the event, and Vania got to ham it up for the camera!
Everyone getting cozy while Jeff from the community association sets up the tech.
Cooper! Finnegan's bro from another mo. My massive St. Bernard/Newfie co-worker.
Dane/maybe Dane mix. Adoptable through Birch Haven!
Nitro! His owner and I hung out at Bluesfest this year. Nitro thinks he's a stud.
Crappy shot of Pepper, one of my most favourite labs ever. Her owners are super-nice too.
Starting to fill up! The dogs in the front are Quentin and Lilith, I adore them and their owners. Their mum, the preggo lady in the chair, is pretty much the coolest lady alive.
Jewel! This dog is the sweetest thing ever, you guys.
