The Day for the Dogs

Last week, the Second Annual Hot Diggity Dog event was held here at Rockport 35 RV Park and Resort. The weather, dogs, and owners all cooperated to make an interesting and enjoyable social event for both man and his best friend.

Diana's little friend won the Best Dressed Dog competition.

If there had been a competition for Best Behaved Dog, all would have won as the dogs and their owners were all on their best behavior.

Judy, from the Kansas City area, was early in the parade. Both showed off their colors admirably.

Professional Judge Tom and his able crew of Bud and Pat had a tough job, but came through with a list of winners in several categories. And every dog went home with a treat package, as the organizers had made certain that every entrant was properly rewarded.

Announcer Gene rivaled the announcer at the Westminster Dog Show in his ability to keep the crowd informed.

Oh yes, Bill and Heidi, always popular fixtures here at 35 RV. But now, about a week after this picture was taken, Heidi is back home in St. Paul. I sure hope Bill doesn't lose her in the snow!

And here's Tony with Sapphira and Malakai. Since it was Saturday, Tony felt he could take a little while off from his duties of keeping the park in tip-top shape for our enjoyment.

There you have it: pictures from the 2008, second annual, and becoming famous Rockport 35 RV Park Dog Show! Will there be a 2009 version? Probably, but you better be here to know for sure!
