BIG NEWS! At the "Shelburne Museum Goes to the Dogs" Calvin Cuddles, my 3 year old basenji, won 1st place in the annual dog costume parade. This is very exciting as we have tried to win for 4 years now. Calvin was dressed as the Ticonde-Rover as a tribute to the majestic steamboat Ticonderoga which is a prominent display at the museum. Calvin's costume was designed by moi, Joanne Kalisz a Rhode Island School of Design graduate who now lives in Burlington, VT.
Even better, we raised almost $150 dollars for Basenji Rescue from the sale of my dog themed clothing and handbags and doggie accessories. :)
