This weekend we attended an adoption event. Several rescues, the local shelter, and the humane society all banded together to try and get dogs (and a few cats) furever homes. I always know these events will make me sad and want another dog, but I want to go anyway. The adoption event was held outside in a huge shaded area near the dog park.
We had fun loving up on all the dogs there.
After leaving the adoption event, I was sad (shocker). I have a really hard time seeing all of the homeless dogs. Nick and I decided we wanted to go home and have a nice evening with our pups to put ourselves in a good mood.
After plentiful cuddles, a car ride, and a long walk in a new area, this happened…
Ice cream is an extremely rare treat in our house. I can’t tell you the last time they were allowed such an indulgence. We had some happy babies that night! Our moods were definitely lifted as well 🙂
What do you do to boost your mood?
What a great event. I hope it was a Hugh success. I love ice cream so that would lift my mood too
I’m hoping to get official adoption numbers in a few days!
I’ve noticed that when I leave an event (even if it’s a great one like this) I always end up spoiling the dogs a little more that night.
Glad I’m not the only one 🙂
How funny that we both gave our pups ice cream this week. It’s a rare treat for Rita too… We’ve had her 2 1/2 years and this was her first cone. (Although she gets doggy ice cream – Frosty Paws- every once in a while.) I LOVE ice cream, so it always puts me in a good mood! (It is hard to go to those events and want to bring everypawdy home!)
It really is! I like to make them a homemade version of frosty paws sometimes. Real ice cream is always a fantastic treat 😉
Ice cream is instant happiness! I hope that lots of pets found new homes. I know it is so hard not to take them home. I went to one and they had puppies wearing little Polo shirts. It was torture, they were so flippin’ cute! ♥♥
Awww! How pawsome that you put the doggie bone in there too! Love it!!!
I always get sad when I see those things too, and I would have done the same things (basically) that you did to boost my mood. I actually just finished publishing a post about homemade dog ice cream! Although I do give the real stuff to the huskies every once and a while too!

DQ pup cups! I look at Pinterest, its my guilty pleasure.
Who can be sad when there’s ice cream and pups around? 🙂
I hope you’re having a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
I love being surrounded by dogs, and it is a heart breaking to know that other people doesn’t
I wish that all places around the world would have this kind of event. DOGS + ICE CREAMS = HAPPINESS 🙂
We don’t give Cody and Sierra ice cream but they do get frozen yogurt. Lower in fat and dairy.
