At the end of April (yes, it takes me THAT long to download pictures from my camera), we attended Family Fun Day in support of East Coast Assistance Dogs, ECAD for short. ECAD is an organization that trains and provides assistance dogs to those in need. It’s a great organization that throws a super party, and we are always happy to go, even though it has to be squeezed in between soccer games.
They host the event on on the Dobbs Ferry waterfront and have games, silent auctions, food, arts and crafts, and more. This year, it took place on a super hot day. We were afraid IT Boy was going to throw up from the heat (that’s just how he rolls) so we didn’t stay too long. We did however make time for the one highlight of the day, Smooch a Pooch. Check it out….

We waited 10 minutes in the heat to take the picture, but it was totally worth it to see the girl who used to be petrified of pooches snuggle up to this one.
BTW, we have friends who host ECAD dogs for weekends to help socialize them. Small commitment, big rewards. If you’re in the Westchester area, and want to get involved, check out their website.
