Yappy Hour with AZGRC

AZGRC recently started holding "Cruise the Valley" events - a chance for all of us to get together and spend some time with our Golden's and with our friends in the rescue.  This month's "Cruise the Valley" event was Yappy Hour at Hacienda's Mexican Grill in Scottsdale.  Since Monty went to the last AZGRC event, we decided it was Sam's turn to have a good time.
They are holding a party for me!
It's always fun to see all the Golden's get together.  Sam was a little shy at first, but once he realized he wasn't facing a herd of Monty's, he was ready to mingle.
There were quite a few Golden's there!
And of course, whenever you have a Golden nearby, you can expect a lot of petting!

A little to the left....
That's right, I'm a good dog....
...and I'd like the mini fish-tacos for my appetizer....
Sam settled down on his mat and became a proper host for his party....
It is my party, right Mom?

A few of the Golden's wore themselves out:
Zzzzzz.....
Including Sam....
Zzzzzz.....
We had a great time and can't wait for the next event!  Thank you, AZGRC!

Sam and me.  :)

  13. I'm very envious. Looks like a great time.

    It also looks like a great way to promote rescue/adoption of Goldens. What's more beautiful than seeing so many well-loved pups in one place?

  21. It looks like a blast! What group could be happier than a pack of Goldens?

    I read your post about your headaches. Just thought that I'd toss something into the mix, although I'm sure that you've already had this checked... bad neck discs can cause relentless headaches. I had daily headaches before I finally had a big neck surgery to fix it.

  22. So sorry to hear about your headaches. I 'm assuming you've had the usual gammit of tests, MRI, etc.
    Have you been to the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix? I have heard that it has an excellent reputation.
    Also, some patients whose headaches have
    not responded to conventional treatments have gotten relief with Botox injections in various areas of the head. I hope you find something that helps soon!
    Hugs to Sam and Monty

  23. P.S.
    Nicholas looks fantastic in yesterday's post!!
    He really seems to be thriving. So happy to see that.
    What a wonderful organization. I received a beautiful
    thank you letter from them for our donation.
    If you should ever cross his path, please give him a
    hug as well from me.
