Our Friend Charlie
After rolling in every mud puddle, Charlie takes a nap while guarding the entrance to his food supply.
Just go around him...
Is our server coming soon? Excuse me, could I get some water? If I could just get her attention!
I can smell the casualties in this dish. It looks suspicious.
Wonder who will win the best smile at Charlies Dog Show?
I am in dog heaven where I now run rampant and the mud pools are abundant. I search out all my friends and rescue to my hearts content. I even have a keg to share. I have a keen eye on all of you, so be good to all the animals and their humans. Happy Trails, we sure had fun. Charlie
Bring your best friend to the Trestle....as long as they have a leash. If you have been to the Trestle in the last ten years you probably had to step over our dear friend, Charlie, the Saint Bernard laying on the front step. We lost Charlie to bone cancer last December. Almost EVERYONE that has walked in the door since has asked where he is. We've decided that we owe our old friend and should do something in his honor.

We came up with the FIRST EVER dog show and fair at the Trestle! There will be dog contests and prizes, plus informational and activity booths. Almost all of the proceeds from this event will go to the Central Minnesota Animal Care and Control. They are working towards raising money to get permanent kennels installed in their new mobile adoption trailer. We plan to make this an Annual event and will choose a honorable dog related charity to give back to each summer.
















There is a $5.00 donation* to enter your dog into all of the categories but you don't have to participate in all if you choose not to. There is no need to register ahead of time....just show up the day of the event and we'll get you set up.
