Beaglefest

We adopted Ginger from the Southern Arizona Beagle Rescue 4 years ago.  They are based out of Tucson.

  The Arizona Beagle Rescue is based in the Phoenix area.  Every year they hold a Beaglefest as a fundraiser for their organization.  We were finally able to go this year.

There were lots of beagles available for adoption.  I wasn't really tempted by any of them.

I was tempted by this little lady, but who wouldn't be?

We entered Ginger in the "first to come when called/last to come when called contest".  I held her at the start line and Michael called to her.  She was the 3rd to last dog to run to their other person.  She would have been last, but Michael finally took pity on her and walked half-way to us so she could see him.  She was very confused and anxious about the whole thing and probably won't ever forgive us for the experience.  Maximize this picture for the full beagle effect.

We also walked in the rescued beagle parade.

Spencer got a cool glittery frog hand tattoo.

As of bed time tonight he has glitter on his eyelids, in his ears, in his hair and on his legs, but only about 5 pieces of glitter left on the actual frog.

This is what happens to an old lady beagle after partying with 100 other beagles for 2 hours.  Very, very, very worn out.

She still wanted to go on her nightly walk tonight.  But after that it was right back to bed.
