Dog Days

On Saturday, Zach & I took Marley to the Masonic Home in Union City for a fundraiser event for the school district. The event was called "Mutt Strut," which as you can guessed, was an event for dogs.
It was a gorgeous day in the bay and Marley had a blast!
It involved a lot of cute dogs in costumes, free gifts, a stroll around the masonic home, and many doggie events.

Marley ended up getting Microchipped there too! Here he is scared off his mind.


Tyrine comforted him afterwards. She's such a sweetie.


Some of my favorite dog costumes:








I had Marley participate in musical chairs, the King Mutt contest for small dogs, and a hot dog eating contest. He scarfed down his plate and also the other dog's plate who was next to us! He ended up losing in everything though. =(


Some cute moments...












All of us, excluding Gam, who was the photographer that day.

*In other news, excited that Zach & I will be moving out at the end of month.

Salsa with Ochocinco

Chad Ochocinco maybe known for his crazy antics on and off the field. If you don't know who the guy is, you probably will in the weeks to come because he is one of the contestants on Dancing with the Stars.

Anyway, the reason why I'm writing about him is because last November, he came to Oakland to play against the Raiders and tweeted that he would treat 100 fans in Oakland to a lunch at Jack London Square. Zach & I were lucky enough to be one of the 100 people to have lunch and meet the guy. The experience was surreal and Ochocinco actually appeared really humble and shy. He came to the lunch with no entourage and took a cab out to the restaurant by himself.

How many football players will go out of the way to do something like that...just because (no media attached to this event)...and he wasn't even a local football NFL player at that?!?

I'm rootin' for you Chad. You may not win a Superbowl with the Bengals, but lets hope you win this dancing competition.
