The sun came out and the rain held off while we gathered, with our canine friends, in Turner Valley for the first Dog Days. The High Country SPCA put together this fundraiser in the park during the “dog days of summer”. There was face painting, display booths, free doggie treats and samples, great music, awesome food and an outstanding demonstration put on by Calgary 2x4 Agility.
The Agility Club had all sorts of sizes and breeds of dog from Papillon to Border Collie to Weimaraner. The dogs went through the course one at a time and then they formed up into teams and raced.
People and pooches met, mingled and laughed throughout Millenium Park. Everyone seemed to be having a great time.
This hard working group of volunteers will rally once again next year and make this an annual event. If you can lend a hand I know they would really appreciate it or just buy a membership and show your support. Stop by the Nimby Store in Turner Valley to find out how you can be part of this warm hearted group of people!
