This past weekend was probably the most fun I’ve had in YEARS!  My mom and her dog Abbey and I took a road trip up to Kennebunkport, Maine for the Colony Hotel‘s 11th Annual Dog Lover’s Weekend.  We met so many great dogs (even a cat!) and we made some  wonderful new friends!

Apparently we were the “newbies”, as most of the people have been coming to this event for years.  I can see why!  We’ve already booked our rooms for next year. Even though we were newbies, we were welcomed by so many “regulars” and we felt right at home!  The staff at the Colony Hotel was absolutely wonderful too – and they went out of their way to make sure that “all of us crazy dog people” were taken care of.

Some of the weekend’s events included a welcome ceremony and dinner, a Paw-ject Runway costume parade, and a dog-wedding, YES, a DOG-WEDDING!  Daisy and Odie tied the knot! 🙂 And, we were even invited to Winston’s 14th birthday party!!

I took so many photos (I went through 6 memory cards!) I hope you can get the essence of what this weekend was all about! It was amazing!  And if you were one of the lucky ones who attended this weekend’s festivities, please leave a comment and share your experiences.  Enjoy!
