After running every Thursday in July, the Jam in Jubilee summer concert series may be over, but whether you didn’t make it out, or want to relive the magic, The Cascade has you covered. In one department, at least. It wouldn’t be a park concert without dogs! Here are just a few of the cute dogs we came across during our time jamming.
This handsome fellow was just chilling out, enjoying the groovy tunes.
Jamming all day is hard work, and this sleepy pupper had to take a cat nap to get some of their energy back.
Fluff alert! If you thought it was hot as a human, just imagine if you had this rascal’s hair covering every inch of your body, insulating you like a sleeping bag you can never climb out of. Yikes! Good thing this pupper has an attentive and caring friend close by!
You see those big floppy ears? They may look cute, but those are highly tuned tools, and this little pupper is going to grow into them — it will probably be about six feet long and three hundred pounds. I don’t know this pupper, but I’m guessing their name is something really intimidating like Thunderpaw or Dreaddoggo or Grr.
Uh-oh! They’re just playing, but left doggo looks a little nervous. Right doggo’s having a great time, though, and shortly after this picture was taken, they were probably cuddling up like best of friends and singing along with the live music.
Fun fact: some wee pups like to pretend they’re just sausages and lie on the ground. This is actually a cunning trick to get humans to come over and pet them, as demonstrated here. Clever!
This pupper said “nuh-uh, I ain’t being featured in your newspaper. Print journalism is a dying medium, and I won’t have my good face sullied by appearing in its pages. I demand TV coverage at minimum, or I will fully abstain from appearing in any form of mass media.” So cute!
