When so many white, smiling-faced dogs (and their amicable owners) converge to Tenino, you know that it's time again for the annual NW Samoyed Rescue picnic. Good picnic food, sunny skies and a light breeze made for a successful event. This is the one time when I don't worry about losing my guys in a mass of other dogs--they stick out like sore thumbs! As always, the highlight of the day was to get everyone lined-up for the group photo--we didn't have an official count, but I could have sworn that we had over 40 dogs present.
