Bowl o' Rama

Ok y'all


I have been wanting to check out the annual Bowling for the Animals event for a few years now and I finally, finally made it there. I popped up to the Poway Fun Bowl and took pics for SNAP (Spay & Neuter Action Project). It was the 10th Annual event and I gots ta' say that they put on a purtay güd time.


All the proceeds from the event went to the excellent duo of pet overpopulation prevention super hero groups known as SNAP & Feral Cat Coalition. Both of these groups are the real deal and make a difference in our county's pet overpopulation.


I did not actually bowl that day since I was all about the picture taking but it seemed like a fun way to spend a Sunday. The veggie buffet was pretty yums as well.


I tried my hand at the raffle (they had some great raffle prizes - thanks to those folks who donated so much!)


The raffle had no luck to throw my way unfortunately - the one prize I threw most of my tickets at was fated to the smiley guy in the picture below. grrrrrrrrr

Anywhooo...

I highly recommend that y'all go next year. It was nice and cool inside of the bowling alley (this was that super hot weekend where I thought that I was gonna heat stroke in my car).
There is good food, good fun, good prizes. Pretty much an easy pleasey


There was also a super cute group of youngsters there for a birthday party that was also a benefit towards the host pet groups. I always love to see the youngsters learnin' how to make a difference at a young age. yay!

Things that Go Thump in the Night...

Hooray for Fuzzy Friends!
This lil' lagomorph was fairly adorable in its photo shoot. Always remember that wee baby bun buns are loooooong term companions and should be adopted by folks that are ready for a companion that lives longer than you might think and needs lots o' lovin time. Remember that short term Easter Buns should only be made out of chocolate and marshmallow.
Adopt this wee one at Central Animal Services. [link]

Also make sure to check out our local House Rabbit Society! They have tons o' great info for the potential bunny family friends. [link] They also have lots o' cutey bun bun videos for a bunny viddy break. [link]

I met one other wee one at Central Animal Services that y'all should meet.

This ratoncito has unbelievably sweet niblet ears that you can whisper all your secrets into whilst perched on your shoulder. Adopt this wee one at Central Animal Services. [link]

And for more volunteer info...

San Diego Spay Neuter Action Project
An absolutely awesome group that definitely knows how to get the job done. They hold low cost mobile spay & neuter clinics all over town and have made a real difference in San Diego's pet overpopulation. So many future lives have been saved by this group already - they are a great team to add your volunteer time towards. They accept volunteers as young as 12 which is a great opportunity for altruistic youngsters and families that like to spend time together.

My buddies over at SNAP gave me the heads up on another fantastic fuzzle that is available for adoption.

Dorell emailed me this photo of him and now we present...


Taj - You too will want to build a grand monument of lurv for this wee young fuzzle. He is a 5 month old Lhasa Apsa. He is neutered, microchipped, good with cat/dogs/kids , housebroken (aww yeah baby!), good on a leash, and social. They note that he can be chatty with new dogs when he is on a walk or at the park.

So basically you are ready to rock!

Doggy Dash - Part Deux

Saturday was the rise n' shine fun time at the Chula Vista Doggy Dash!
Proceeds from the event went to H.E.A.R.T. (this is the non-profit organization that assists the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility in providing care for thousands of pets) [link]

I popped in at a little past 8:00 am & the joint was already jumpin'.

There were all sorts of great vendor booths and rescue groups in attendance.



I started out saying hello to the folks with Greyhounds 2 Go. [link]


They had a bunch of adoptable fuzzles hanging out showing their true "lap dog" nature. Here we have Hope & Rego (both 5 years old) practicing the fine art of lap balancing.

and peering over from behind his buddy...


Flick - The beautiful 6 year old brindle boy!

They have a Fundraiser Golf Tournament coming up this summer (more info tomorrow). If you like to golf you should definitely check it out! [link]
They are Amazing!

Tomorrow I will be posting pics of a couple of sweet kitties that they will have up for adoption. Stay Tuned!

Greyhounds were Definitely in the house!

Here representing Greyhound Adoption Center as an official SpokesDoggy is Elvis!

When this rockstar enters the building you take notice. His charm & charisma works like a spell over those that meet him! He was there to show off the awesome attributes of the greyhound and I think he was doing a pretty good job. [link]

Here he is with his gal pal Brindy (co-SpokesDoggy). I think she is swooning...
Or is that me!

Check out their website for information about adoptable greyhounds! [link]

n' just when I think it's safe to go on...



the Cute comes out n' gets me again!

This time it is via Stoney the Siamese ratty who is up for adoption with Wee Companions. They had an awesome group of wee adoptables available that day. If you are looking for Ratty Buddies with great temperaments - ya gotsta check in with them! [link]

They also had the cute in a slightly rounder package - otherwise known as...

Julie the Guinea Pig! If y'all have been reading this blog for awhile - You know I gots love for the piggies! Wee Companions always has a fantastic assortment and I noticed quite a few youngster piggies there also. [link]

So by this point the racers have started to line up and the big start is just minutes away. There is just enough time for the competitors to sniff out the competition and size up who might be coming home with the gold...


And then they're off!

Whilst the athletes were doing their exercise thang I swooped back over to my good buddies at Pit Bull Rescue San Diego to get a few glamour shots going.


Mimi - This Pitbull Gal is a lover with beautious blue eyes. Adopt her at Pitbull Rescue San Diego. [link]

and talkin' about lovers...

Cassie - This lil' Terrier mix is lovin' life. She is blind and takes it in good stride with a casual air. She defo' knows how to snuggle as exemplified below...


Adopt her at Pitbull Rescue San Diego. [link]

After the race was run there was time for Pet Blessings.


and fun contests including best outfit.


and just general fun in the sun and doggy watching...


I think the one on the left looks like Eric Estrada.

The Chula Vista Police Canine Unit put on a demonstration of one of their doggy officers at work. It was a good thing that everyone was holding their doggies leads because the dogs got way amped up when the center doggy was showing its stuff. It was totally intense!

There were sooo many folks hanging out in front of the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility's booth that I just could not get a clear shot. But that is awesome! I think they got some really good response that day! They were taking pictures of all the race participants, handling licensing, fielding questions, setting up interactions, n' more. [link]

If so Adopt Him at the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility.
