Rocket Doggies come in wee packages also. Don’t forget that a lot of the little breeds are muy atlético!

So Wags fer Wishes was great fun as a spectator. It’s like doggy day at Magic Mtn or something. The dogs are queued up everywhere to get on rides and they are all looking to their companions as if to say ” can we go on again as soon as it’s finished?”

Flyball was a blast to watch. I had never really checked it out for more than a second before. Wags was a great intro ’cause these folks were amped and ready to go! Dogs of all sizes were participating. I’ll try to research local teams and post them to a subsequent Fuzzle post.

Those flyball puppies know how to turn n’ burn!

Wags is a great event for many reasons but one of the most important to some Adoptable Buddies out there is the chance to show off at the Adoption Center Tent!

Here is Biscuit the cuddle bug hanging out and working her hot buttered magic with some new buddies.

So Biscuit the Magnificent is a very sweet 3 year old female love dog from Chula Vista Animal Services. There were some folks inquiring about her but you should check in and see if she is still available. [link]

Ok y’all – I am amazed that this guy made it past the first day at the S Ford Adoption booth. He is Mr Photogenic! Fenway is his name – go ahead and wear it out! Adorable 4 year old male Boston Terrier mix. [link]

There were lots’ o doggies Fenway’s size that were tearing up the track at events like the luring obstacle course. This lil’ terrier is a good example of their awesome antics…

I also watched the sheepherding for awhile. Totally fascinating teamwork. I didn’t get any pics of that event – maybe next year. In the meantime if you need someone to rustle up some guinea pigs or make sure that yer socks are well corraled…

Pepe le cutey! We were calling him a TBC – Teacup Border Collie – for fun but he is actually a Papillon mix. Beyond Cute and quite the perky player! (when he isn’t napping a la this picture) Adopt this 11 month old at Chula Vista Animal Services #A080634. [link]

So in the middle of the day I hung out at the Splash Dogs venue and checked out the mighty dock divers! There were some amazing leaps to be seen.

This guy was an amazing high jumper. I think on this one he was up for so long he is starting to reconsider things on the way down!

After Splash Dogs I popped back over to the vendor village to cool down a bit and say hi to the awesomeness that is…

SNAP & the Neuter Scooter were in attendance. They had some wee mews up for adoption but I did not get any snaps of them this time. Remember that they have paired up with Bow Wow Beauty Shoppe in Hillcrest to host some adoptable kittens! [link]

Hangin’ out in the shade were some adoptable puppies with S Ford Foundation. Get yourself ready ’cause these guys are off the charts!

Billy, Everett, n’ Carver were getting a lot of attention at the adoptions booth but it never hurts to get a lil’ bit more. Check them out at S Ford Foundation. [link]

Right around the bend from all that pupple schnozz was the gorgeous greyhounds of Greyhounds 2 Go!

I like this picture of Rider because he looks like Kermit the Frog Smiling!

The group had a bunch o’ doggies being goodwill ambassadors for the greyhound breed.

Everybody was being cozy n’ well behaved.

But there was one superstar in attendance that is available for adoption…

Here he is looking regal – Adopt him at Greyhounds 2 Go. [link]

So once I popped back into the sport zone I mozied over to the Luratics lure coursing zone and hung out there for the rest of the day. It is non-stop entertainment watching those guys run. Some of them take it pretty seriously…

Anywhooo…

Next year I have got to spend more time and pictures over at the Agility Course area. I watched for a little bit and it definitely deserves some fuzzle pix!
