Rescue Romp

Last Sunday was Golden Retriever Rescue of Atlanta (GRRA) annual fundraiser, the Rescue Romp. Every year we invite all the Golden Retrievers that we’ve rescued to a BBQ (they can bring their humans if they want). The day consists of food, games, shopping, and socializing. The day is a lot of fun, and it gives all the volunteers a chance to see how dogs they helped rescue are doing, and it gives the dogs a chance to show off their human families.

Most of the day I spent working at the Golden Store. This was OK with me because all the money we make selling t-shirts, sweatshirts, magnets, etc… goes to helping find homes for Goldens and Labs.

I am somewhat surprised that the psychiatric profession doesn’t protest and boycott this event. Because a person cannot be depressed surrounded by so many Goldens and Labs. Just looking out over the sea of dogs just made me smile.
