Yesterday at Strawberry Creek Park in Berkeley we went to the 4th annual "dogtoberfest! " Even though it was raining, dogs and owners alike all had a fun time - hot dogs & salads for the human guests, plenty of playing for the canine guests. But the real center piece of the event? Bacon cake! One amazing owner made this cake out of rice, eggs, ground turkey, and of course, bacon "frosting" for all the dogs to share:

Everyone lined up nicely to get their piece of cake.  And then proceeded to eat it up faster than you could say Dogtoberfest!

We think Saylor takes the cake (so to speak) for the best picture of the day:
