Image of Cakie as Grand Marshall 2001  

Hank and Sharon have perenially been in the top 10 in pledge getters and are among the first volunteers to arrive each BoardWaddle and the last to leave. Technically don't leave because Cakie has moved in with the waddle slaves and the original slaves come cater to her whims following the pawrade. Cakie has grown into her title and serves annually as BoardWaddle Basset Hostess.


Cakie - Grand Marshall 01
Jamboree's Black Forest Cake


Back in 2001, Cakie was a young houndette with her breederslaves, Hank and Sharon Scully. She was three at the time, having been an only puppy of her Mama Cammy. She woofed her slaves that the show houndie scene was very nice, but she decided to retire early from competition, having talked to her Aunts FeyFey and Taco Bell, she knew that her homeless friends needed to raise money.

Hank and Sharon had done exceptionally well at begging moolah for the paw hounds. In 2000, they were among the three that first brought four digit pledges. Cakie was selected from their pack for her effective application of the 'LOOK', her pawsistent pawsonality, willingness to actually do the whole pawrade and her goofy wit. (Her pretty black fur also looked darn good in the tiara!)

In 2004 Cakie proudly announced the arrival of her three pupcakes, Petunia (Scully) Taloolah (Quigley) and Jackie (Marini), all of whom waddled in 2005. Thus far, Cakie is the only non-rescue houndie to be named Grand-Marshall, due to her breeders' committment to also helping the homeless hounds. Please join Cakie, the kids and Aunt Taco Bell waddling again for their homeless friends this year.
