Nelson, Nutty Buddy, and Meadow attend the MTGRR picnic

Today was the Middle Tennessee Golden Retriever Rescue annual picnic. Our day started with a staff meeting about what is expected from us, and appropriate behavior around other dogs and crowds.

Nutty Buddy simply yawns. Yeah, yeah... I get it. Meadow says, yes I know, stay with you at all times. Me, Nelson, am rivoted by the thought of getting to meet so many people and dogs. My plan is to play the crowd.

After a little exercise and introductions, some nice young ladies took me for walks through the crowds. I sure did love them young girls. They gave me so much love, cuddles and pets! My only thought the whole day was, WHOOOHOOOO! I am one LUCKY guy. I wonder if I can take them home with me. Probaby can't. So, I'll just soak up their love for a few hours.

These photos are just a small sampling of all the people who came out to parade the wonderful canine addition to their family, look for a new canine addition, support the awesome Middle Tennessee Golden Retriever Rescue, or just enjoy the fantastic festivities. This was one great Golden day.

How do you know if your Golden had a GREAT day. Well, I think these photos speak for themselves. We are exhausted. I think Nutty Buddy, Meadow, and I, will be sleeping for a week! Well, we will certainly sleep good tonight.
