Beagle Fest 2008

Well today was a day that I had been looking forward to for a while, Beagle Fest! I had seen the event webpage linked to the Arizona Beagle Rescue website that I was browsing a few weeks ago. My beagle, Lucky, was originally a rescue and I definitely have a huge soft spot for dogs. So today, I took both my dogs to the fundraising event and was surprised by how many people and beagles had shown up as well. There were easily 500+ beagles there! It was so adorable! I had to sign a liability waiver when I got there, but I wasn’t too concerned about it. Beagles are probably one of the only breeds you could actually hold a festival for since they get along with everyone. Think about it, have you ever heard of anyone holding a pittbull fest?????? Haha.

Anyways, it was a few dollars to get in, with all proceeds benefitting the AZ Beagle Rescue. I also got coupons for a few of the booths there. I took both my dogs to see a pet psychic, who basically told me a bunch of stuff I knew about them anyways. It’s okay though because it was sweet and pretty amusing. I also got them some homemade treats, a doggie photo frame, a portable water dish, and bandanas for the both of them. They had all kinds of exhibitors, even the police K9 trainers with some beautiful Dobermans. I hope all the beagles they had up for adoption found homes by the end of the day. It was hard not to talk to anyone about bringing one home to add to my pack! All in all, a fun day. And it must’ve been quite successful for the Beagle Rescue. I can’t wait till Beagle Fest 2009!
