May 22nd, was Glendale's Annual Clean Up Day and some of our canyon's neighbors were out on Mt. Carmel doing their part to help make our canyon look beautiful. Thanks to all our volunteers who pitched in and got their hands dirty.
Another Successful Bow Wow Pow Wow
Canyon K-9's in all their furry splendor came out to the park with their humans to celebrate at the annual Bow Wow Pow Wow. Organized with perfection by the Hopperts again this year, the annual event brought out our neighborhood's finest. Awards were given for best costume, best tricks and best time through the agility course. This year, the Pow Wow started in the afternoon for the first time. Let us know if you liked the afternoon start. We love all our canyon pets and it is always great to see them celebrated in this great, annual event.
