Sam had a very important day today - we joined our friends at AZGRC to participate in the Special Olympics Tennis Fun Day held at Troon Country Club. This gave us all a chance to share our Golden's with a wonderful group of athletes.
 |
Getting ready for the big event...
|
 |
| Plenty of kids - our dogs all received lots of attention! |
 |
| Sam ready to start asking for donations to support his favorite rescue! |
 |
| He was really loving all the attention he was getting! |
(It was hard to get photos of Sam interacting with the kids. When the kids wanted to interact with him, I had to make sure to talk and interact too! No time for pictures. He was so well behaved and kind with them. He performed tricks for them and played fetch. I was so proud of our little guy!)
 |
| Sam wasn't the only pup asking for donations! |
 |
| The Golden's offered support to whoever needed it. We didn't go out on the tennis courts, but we were available to anyone who wanted a little puppy love... |
 |
| ...and all were willing to be a little silly! Here is one boy who enjoys being rumpled! I wonder if he is related to our Monty? |
 |
| "Don't stop petting me please!" |
 |
| Sam made all kinds of new friends! |
 |
| ...and like every little boy, wanted his picture taken with the fire truck. |
 |
| We weren't the only dog group there - the Arizona Canine Musical Freestylers entertained the crowd with their awesome dance moves! |
 |
| This big guy even got in on the dance moves! He was quite stylish! |
 |
| This poodle was super graceful.... |
 |
| ...and of course, more Golden's! They danced to "I Like to Move It". (Think Madagascar...) |
 |
| Stepping out... |
 |
| They invited the crowd to dance with them, and even Sam and I joined in! I'm hoping nobody took photos - Sam is an awesome dancer, but I am definitely not! (...and if there are photos - could someone send them to me, please?) |

The event kept the dogs pretty busy - this is Casey (I hope I remembered the name right!) - he is almost 12 and is such a kind old boy! |
 |
| Sam had an awesome day - we can't wait to help out AZGRC again! |

Uff ! I think that is for young dogs like you. I would have been exhausted in ten minutes. And chased any available cats. (were there any?)
Oh Sam, you are really something. I'm sure you just loved getting your picture by the firetruck, any boy would! It's so loving and kind of you to help out. Sam, you are a blessing.
Sam we are so proud of you! What an awesome job for a great cause...and to offer moral support to all those Special Olympians...you and your mom are so wonderful!
