Twice a year, OLAE partners with Blue Collar Dog
House to donate dog food to the Edmonds Food
Bank. We were able to provide over 200 pounds
of food, and then some to the Edmonds Food
Bank. Happy Holidays!

Our 15th Annual Halloween Howl was a day of
woof-festivities and all had a great time. Best inShow went to Yuki and Sakura as Blue AngelPilots upstaging their previous win as UPS postal
workers a few years ago.
The costumes were creative with one contestantcreating a scuba diving outfit for his dog Mochi
from material that he found in his car.
