We went to a PAWTY on Sunday
Specifically we went to the annual pool party hosted by Erin, one of the Kelowna Dachshund Club members. We moved here in 2003 and I only discovered this group once we got back from the Isla. It was a perfect day with highs of at least 95F. We were thankful for the cloud cover that came in. Erin’s home has fabulous views of Kalamalka Lake and is a fully enclosed 16 acres. She also dog sits for overnights – except that there is a possibility that they might be selling their home next year.
A good friend Heather, who would like to live in the water if she could- a true mermaid, took Ciela under her wing to get her used to the water.
It was pot luck and there was a large variety of things to eat. Colin is at the table and you can see our girls on either side of him. Thank goodness we put their neon pink collars on, one has tiny white dots. It was easy to find them in the string of dachshunds. Yes that is what they are called or a mischief of dachshunds.
This is Smokey. He lives to be on the water. At one point he jumped from the pool edge to get onto a surf board at least a foot away.
We brought two chairs and an umbrella for shade ( thank goodness ) so both humans and dogs had shade. The only problem was that the male doxies kept peeing on the umbrella stand and the rocks we used as weights against the wind. These guys peed everywhere including on Colin’s camera bag. That is one reason that we only have female doxies.
Colin found a flotie that we had purchased years ago and never used. It has a net bottom so the water comes through. Carlie did not like her life jacket at all and kept rolling over and under the water when we put her directly in the water.
They appeared to be happier on the surf board ( which we borrowed, that you Jan ). That is Smokey behind Colin, not sure who is on the right.
These two spent a good part of the day on this floatie. Most of the time they also had a ball in their mouth.
Not easy to see but there are 9 doxies in this photo. The lady in the middle with the straw hat has a doxie in her arms and the lady on the left ( between the girl with the long hair and the float with the 2 dogs ) has two doxies in her arms.
Eight in this photo.
It was so much fun. When our girls were not in the pool it was difficult to find them as they were everywhere.
I am going to end this post here but come back tomorrow for more photos taken with Colin’s camera and other people. These were taken by me and my very wonderful small camera.

What fun for the girls and you as well! And wow that is a stunning view.
Wow, it looks like everyone had a great time, both the 4 legged and 2 legged creatures!
Glad you are back on line. Quite an interesting pawty! K
Looks like it was so much fun. 🙂 Thanks for the laughs this morning as I read the blog!
Wonderful Blog! Well worth waiting for, glad you got the glitch fixed on your post.
The place your friend has, features incurably beautiful views! She will miss it if they sell (unless they get similar or better views).
Beautiful photos! Love to see you both enjoying the summer!
Cheers!
