“Paw” Hana September 17, 2008

Last Wednesday, we attended Three Dog Bakery’s Hawaiian Party. It was called “Paw” Hana. It is a play off of Pau Hana which means to hang out with friends after work. They held a best dressed dog and owner contest…. 

We saw this as a perfect opportunity to have Bandit wear his hawaiian shirt we got him in Maui on our vacation, Tom wore one of his hawaiian shirts,  I was the only one with out one. Thankfully we had a Hawaiian event at my store recently and saved all of the grass skirts and leis.  ”We were in it to win it!”

As we were leaving the house Tom asked, What if there is some other crazy couple there all dressed up? I told him we were that couple. haha

When we arrived, they had a great set up. There were a lot of dogs with leis, they all looked really cute. Bandit really enjoyed playing with the other dogs and eating all the the treats they had. 

Towards the end, Rocky, the owner gained everyone’s attention to announce the winner of the dress up contest…. The winner was Bandit! He did a wonderful job accepting his Bag of Treats. ( When his name was called, he did a great job of walking right up to Rocky) Having his picture taken was another story…

I work right around the corner, so Tom and I took Bandit to my store to visit all the people I work with. Bandit loves going in and getting all the attention. 

On the drive home, Bandit wanted to hang out of the window. (He typically doesnt do that.) I think he was showing off. :)

 

How cute!

This was my weekend off and also the weekend for Tom and I to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We were going to take a mini trip to the LA County Fair. I have been wanting to go for years and have not been able to do so yet.We are in love with a place in Santa Monica called Healthy Spot. Its a store for dogs that has everything, even doggy day care.  The plan was to take Bandit early for about 4 hours. I called to ask some questions and found out…. no doggy day care for 6 weeks. 

So, we had to make some changes to our plans… Off to Long Beach’s Dog Beach. We picked up our friend Dan and headed out. It was awesome! Tons of dogs running around. Bandit wanted to be off leash so badly. (He still has to learn “Come” before we will try that. We played for a while and decided to grab a bit to eat. We found a place not too far from the Queen Mary( It was my first time seeing it. WOW what a huge boat!) We sat outside so we could have Bandit with us. He had to sit on the other side of the fence, for heath codes. He did ok for a while, but was getting tired and wanted to be closer to us.
