Rescue Dog Reunion Picnic

We attended a reunion for rescue dog's.  (Pippen is a rescue)  The shelter where we adopted Pippen has an annual picnic to get the dogs/puppies together.  It is a chance to hook up with your dog's litter mate (if he/she had one).

We got there early.  Pippen has a hard time being around other dogs.  He is a little aggressive.  (and that's an understatement)  We wanted him to get used to his surroundings and adjust to being around so many dogs/puppies. 

It took awhile, but, eventually he realized that the other dogs were not going to attack him and that they were friendly.  I was going to take a picture of RT and Pippen.  They were by themselves, about 50 feet from the rest of the picnic area.  I thought that might be how they would spend the entire picnic.

When we rescued Pippen, we were told he was a Labrador Retriever Mix.  His hair is (yellow) lab, but,  his face and tail, well, we aren't sure.  His head/face is definitely bull terrier.  In fact, a woman came up to us and started asking what breed is Pippen.  We said Lab, and.....she jumped in and said, Pit Bull Terrier.  (yea, we think he is part pit bull terrier)  

We did not get to meet Pippen's litter mate, but, we met quite a few other dogs. 

I thought this dog was so cute!  He went to take a drink of water and then just decided to lay down in the pool.  
 

He did this several times while we were at the picnic.
 We had a great time and wished we could have met Pippen's sister.  Maybe next time.
