More Picnic Pics

So I decided to post some more pictures from the Arcadia picnic. These hounds were just laying around enjoying the scene. We stopped by several times to admire them and give pets. There was an older guy in back that made James and my hearts melt. He was so lovable.


Heres the clown posing with his dog spot. You can see their star shaped shades better in this one. Silly hounds, shades are for hoomans.
I can't be positive but I think this long-legger bloodhound was named China Moon. She was very beautiful and was patient all the short-leggers.

Here is Cowboy taking a quick power nap between heats of the costume contest. We were literally standing ringside watching the show and he was bustling with energy when suddenly he collapsed onto this tent, closed his eyes and slept for about 5 minutes. Then he was right back at it, barking, tugging and drooling.
This guy had problems with his right leg so he uses a wheelchair to get around. I think his name was either Buster or Baxter. His owner said he didnt need the chair on a daily basis but for an event like this it would make it easier on him.


Here is a better picture, a closeup of him. He got around just fine and even won a contest or two.
Here is Cowboy socializing with a doxie and another Basset. There were actually quite a few Daschunds at the picnic. I think a lot of Basset owners have Daschunds too. They must have some similarities or something.


Here is a goup of bandana wearing hounds. There were actually quite a few hounds who had bandanas on. Every color from pink to blue to green and even halloween designs.
And for you non-basset slaves, this gal is wearing what is referred to as a snood. It has elastic and covers around the neck and top of head. It holds basset ears back when eating, drinking and playing in the rain. They are commonly known to basset owners and are sold in stores and rescues. Too funny looking.
