The First Rule of Fight Club...

All week there were signs along Mike's street-no parking all day on Saturday. We could NOT figure out why. Because we are both becoming exponentially older by the minute, we were both up by 8am on Saturday.  One thing was abundantly clear: whatever was going on that day was most definitely DOG related. 
I did some quick searching online now that I knew the topic and quickly found out that we were the lucky block on all of Monument that had a front seat view of "Woofstock 2010".  It's hosted by Richmond Animal League and raises money for homeless animals etc.
Initially, Mike was pretty pumped that excessive dog barking and music playing was going to be the background for his CPA studying (apparently the Cha-Cha Slide played 5 times in one hour, but who's counting), but he eventually decided that yes, it was essential for us to make an appearance with the Mills at Woofstock.

Like most events like these, the people watching is the most crucial part.  There were vendors and adoption booths set up.  An asian woman almost talked Mike into getting Milly a luxury dog bed. We made it out scott-free though. There was also a band playing and a beer truck.

After making a few laps around the block, we knew what needed to come next: Puppy Fight Club: Richmond Chapter, Woofstock Edition. 
We called up our friends, both two and four legged: Whit & Molly, and the pups Penny & Stella.
The Players:

Penny, Stella, and Milly: Ferocious Competitors

When they got to our crib, the humans had some brewskies on the porch and the pups took every single toy out of the toy basket. PFC round one was pretty tame considering Milly is the biggest , but the event was not skirmish free. 
Pug Stella was having a bit of a hard time breathing after all of that walkin in the hot sun, so after we made sure she was cooling down we parted ways until dinner.
MnM used this time to take a power nap and prepare for the BWW boneless buffalo wing eating challenge. Unfortunately, due to the McDonald's "buffer meal" that was consumed by all mid-afternoon, it was not much a sight to see. Mostly just take home containers and faces of defeat.

Here's a few pics from the event:

found this one online and thought it was pretty funny
