NUTS FOR MUTTS

Today was a huge day for Monte! It was his first Dog Show - NUTS FOR MUTTS. It was put on by great organization named "New Leash on Life". It was at Pierce College Stadium in Woodland Hills California.

This is like the Westminster dog show for mutts. The categories included best kisser, friendliest dog, cutest puppy, mystery breed and others. Monte was signed up for friendliest dog at 9:30 a.m. and then cutest puppy at 11:55 a.m. Monte was wonderful at his first ever show and he was selected as one of the ten finalists for both cutest puppy and friendliest dog.

Auntie Sarah and Patrick joined us for the preliminary round of cutest puppy at 11:55 a.m. Patrick was just wonderful and everybody thought he was just a beautiful cute little Chihuahua pup. Even though he could not compete since he is purebred and not a rescue he was the hit of the outside areas!

The first final round was for cutest puppy and Mr. Monte was named Second Place in the finals! By this time, it was already 1:30 p.m., Monte was pretty spent but we waited around for the finals of the friendliest dog and although he did not place he was given a special recognition by the MC comedian Debra Wilson who thought Monte was the bomb!

All in all it was an incredible day for all of us! Monte, Auntie Sarah, Patrick and I had a ball not only with the competitions but also visiting the booths of the many vendors that sponsor this great event! Our favorite vendor was Castor & Pollux Pet Works ! Monte loved the Organix dog cookies. They were peanut butter flavored and he enjoyed them tremendously! The ladies from Castor & Pollux Pet Works® loved Monte as well. And were very impressed with how he would sit for a treat! When we got home we fed Monte Organix canine formula made with chicken, brown rice, and flax. Monte loved it and today were going to go get some at Whole Foods Market.

"New Leash on Life" does a wonderful job and we're glad that we have become members.
