Bow Wow Luau [135/365]

My sister-in-law Kathy volunteers for Legacy Boxer Rescue and invited my mom and I to the Bow Wow Luau silent auction. There were lots of cute boxers and other assorted dogs there in luau and beach attire. So many generous people donated their time, services or goods to make the event happen. There were nearly toxic margaritas and delicious food. I bid on and won a personal chef experience creating natural dog treats at Three Dog Bakery. I gave that to my mom because she’s been interested in learning to make dog treats for a while now and I know she’ll enjoy it. It was a really cool event! Legacy Boxer Rescue is a great organization and I hope we’ll become more involved in helping them now that we live here.

The appetizer spread was good with an assortment of dips, vegetables and awesome chicken and vegetable skewers. The deserts were downright heavenly though. Chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate dipped marshmallows, lemon cake balls, cupcakes and chocolate chip cheesecake dip with Scooby Snack graham cracker dog treats! My 50mm lens couldn’t really get far enough away from all the action to photograph the cute dogs, so I mostly focused on the beautiful food.

Unfortunately, about an hour or so into the event, I got a massive toothache and spent the majority of the rest of the evening sitting outside on the steps talking to my mom. It’s good to know, I guess, that even a great deal of pain won’t stop me from shooting. I got this shot looking up from the step where I sat.
