Who Let the Dogs Out?

There were dogs - all over the ship today - and it was an absolute riot!  Earlier in the morning, the kids were challenged to use drinking straws and tape to make the "Ultimate Dog Toy".  I really think our dog would like both of these:

The Collapsable Dog Bone

Chase the Attached Dog Bone

In the afternoon, we had the first ever Mercy Ships Dog Show - from chihauhas to British Bulldogs to yellow labs - we were the happening event in midships!  Meet the dogs and their trainers:

Missing Matt?  He volunteered to judge along with Melissa and Annelies - they picked the best of the show, fastest dog through the obstacle course and who performed the best tricks.  How do you end a party like that?  By eating vanilla pudding with puppy poop on top!  (Yeah, that would be brown sprinkles!)  Margo (:
