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! |
Sam (and Christine), you guys are THE BEST for helping out AZGRC!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
