So those weren't all the shots I had from the Pets on the Patio event. Per your request, a few more fun moments at Gaspars Grotto.

I can't wait to do it again!

Pets on The Patio

Alot of blogging today but there has been so much going on with Pawsitively Pictures I can't contain myself! Yesterday and every first Saturday of the month Gaspars Grotto in Ybor city hosts an event called Pets on the Patio. From 4 - 6 pm pets and "paw-rents" are allowed to socialize in a fun environment of music, drinks, food, and other fellow pet lovers. Most of the time they will allow a rescue group to attend as well. Yesterday it was the Great Dane Rescue of Tampa Bay, Inc. It was such a blast. Dogs in all shapes and sizes. Check out some of the pics we were able to capture yesterday.

When You Rescue A Dog

Meet Luke. He is one of the beautiful Great Danes available for adoption from Great Dane Rescue of Tampa Bay, Inc. The first time I met Luke was at the SPCA Pet Walk mid October. He was happy, alert and full of life. When I saw him yesterday at the Great Dane meet up he was more reserved and nervous. In speaking with Linda the woman who runs the rescue program she informed me that Luke had been adopted. However the new owners decided to keep Luke in a utility closet and then called to complain to Linda that Luke was crying incessantly. Really? Is that what you do when you get a dog? Store it in a closet? I know I store my clothes there I didn't realize it was the new way to house a living creature!!! Arrrgh. Well now that everybody knows how I feel about the situation let me just add one more thing. Dogs are the greatest creatures I have experienced in my life. But you get a dog to be a part of your household, to be one of the family members. Then and only then will you experience the full joy that a dog can bring to you.
