Hounds Abound


So how did last Saturday’s Greyhound event go? For starters, read the following post if you haven’t yet, to find out what I’m talking (writing?) about.

The event went well. Karen and Thomas ran the successful raffle and silent auction stuff. Which I missed completely, as I was in the burger hut. In 3 1/2 hours, I cooked 60 hamburgers, 20+ veggie Boca burgers, and 48 hot dogs. Plus lots of drinks and chips. At $3.00 for burgers, and $2.00 for hot dogs (priced to move!), we made somewhere around $375-$400. And all of the proceeds, even the tips, went to the dogs.

So, what was so fun about it? I mean really, I have a blast doing it. Burgers and dogs. Me and two flat top griddles. And people happy to see me, and me happy to see them and their dogs. The four legged kind, not to be confused with the kind with rolls, mustard, relish, and onions. Plus, I was able to spend the day yakking with two helpers, Liz and Chris. It was a sunny, breezy day (not like the monsoon we had two years ago), And Karen and I finished the day spending the night with our friends of 20 years, Thomas and Larry. And a killer martini.

A perfect day.
