Discovery Park, Shelter Challenge, Adoption Event

Hi furiends, It's me Ernie. Finally back again. We want to thank all of you who voted for PUP in Issaquah in the Shelter Challenge. Without you we couldn't have gone as far as we did. Today is the last day for this challenge. We started late and were ranked about 2900 overall and 83 in the state of WA. As of this morning we are at 16 in WA and 755 in the overall rankings. The last couple of days we started voting for another rescue in Arlington, WA because they are at #3 in WA & 113 overall. The are called the Old Dog Haven and they take in older dogs. We also work with them and sometimes if they can't take a dog we will. So BIG thanks to all who have helped. ALSO, A new Challenge starts in about the middle of May and we are going to try starting out at the beginning. Maybe then we can make it even farther in the rankings. Mom was trying to take a pic of the beach & I climbed into her lap. She was sitting on a log. How do you like my closeup. She is always saying how hard it is to get a good pic of me since I am so dark. Well, I think she was proved wrong. Not sure if this is my best side though. On Friday we went to Discovery Park. It is a huge park in Seattle. It has lots of trails, and covers about 534 acres. Had lots of trails to choose from. In woodsy places, and along the beach. Chica checking out the sandy smells. She liked the warm sand.Sasha had to stay home because her hips were bothering her a bit and we were going to be going on a lonnnng walk. Mom promised her she could go the next time.

We found some artwork on the beach. Or maybe it was going to be a fort??? In the background you can see the snow on the Olympic Mountains. It was a great day to be out. This is a test. This picture has 2 animals. Can you tell what or where they are???

On the beach looking toward the lighthouse. Mom wanted a pic of it but when we got there it was all covered up. They were doing something called renovating... Should have been done but they must have found more stuff to do to it & it is taking longer than they thought. See the airplane...

These rocks were like stairs from the trail to the beach. I could just walk down & up them but Chica had to jump. She was a trooper Mom said.

Another beach pic.

A closer look at the float plane. We could wave to it. Actually we just watched, Mom and her friend took pictures.

Showing off the black spots on my tongue. Chica resting her tiny feet.

There they are!!! 2 ducks!! They were behind the branches. They were so beautiful. We didn't get a chance to chase them. Maybe next time??

PUP had another adoption event yesterday and 5 pups were adopted. WHooHoo!!

Hope all have a great weekend.

Ernie, Sasha, Chica
