Happy St. Patricks Day!

Once again Dugan the Dog participated in the St. Patrick Day parade in Phoenix, Arizona. The parade was held on Saturday March 13, and Dugan along with some of the other Irish Wolfhounds of the Desert Irish Wolfhound Association showed the people what real Irish hounds look like. We forgot our cameras, but got some cell phone pictures. As usual, Dugan figured that all those people were lined up for a mile along the road just so he could personally greet them. He had fun.

Dugan the Dog Visits his Scottish Cousins!


Dugan visited with his cousins, the Scotts! On Saturday February 27, 2010 Dugan and his Master attended the annual Scottish Highland Games held in Phoenix, Arizona. It was a great event that gave the people of Scottish heritage a chance to get together for a lot of fun. Dugan has never seen so many men walking around in plaid skirts, although to protect their manly images they call them kilts (at least in Ireland they do). I noticed the men in kilts often had a little leather purse hanging on their belts too. One guy asked why Dugan was not attired in a kilt, and I explained that it was not in keeping with his macho image.

Anyway, the Desert Irish Wolfhound Association was pleased to attend, and our booth was very near the entrance. When people entered the grounds, the very first thing they would see was Dugan! Being a hound dog of magnificent stature and noble bearing people would naturally come over to greet him. Literally hundreds of people came over to see Dugan, and being a generous and magnanimous hound, he was pleased to allow everyone to pet him so they could have the special treat of touching one of the tallest dogs in the world! I answered hundreds of questions about the Irish Wolfhound breed, and many people were so excited to have a hands on experience with a breed they have heard about, but never before encountered in the flesh! We were only able to attend in the morning, and when it was time to leave, I could tell Dugan was tired from the 3 hours of constant attention. Being the Gentle Giant he is, Dugan was very patient and kind to accommodate the hundreds of people who wanted to greet him. I always say that the Irish Wolfhound is the King of dog breeds, and Dugan is the Prince of his breed. He was so patient to give so many a royal treat. A special thanks goes out to my daughter April, who so kindly has taken most of the pictures on this blogspot

Desert Irish Wolfhound Associations Treasurer, Chris Davis was on hand to collect donations for our associations rescue efforts.





































Even though Dugan is one of the tallest dogs in the world, we could not get a close-up and keep the man in the stilts in the shot!

What on earth could Dugan be staring at?
Wouldn't you know, old Dugan has his eye on the cupcakes in the next booth!
