Subject: Balto/DC/Annapolis Feb '05 Dog Events

Most dogs love the snow, so for their sake, let's hope we get some more. For those of us without natural fur coats, let's hope we don't, it'll just mess up the few February events.

Sat 1/29 2pm ALEXANDRIA, VA: Treat tasting at Barkley Square Dog Bakery & Boutique, 1 Wales Alley, Alex. Va 22314 http://www.barkleysquarebakery.com .
Bring your hounds and let them howl out their favorite treats. Humans will be able to mark off all the howling approved treats and then place their orders or give them to us to save and let us remember which treats were real Tail Waggers.

Sat & Sun 1/29 & 1/30 10am, TIMONIUM, MD: Don't miss the fabulous World of Pets Expo http://worldofpets.org/ at the MD State Fairgrounds featuring shows, demos, seminars, food and vendors galore. An exciting two day DiscDogathon is featured this year so you can be inspired by talented dogs flying through the air to catch frisbees. Gomez will, once again, be representing the Newfoundland in the Parade of Breeds on Sat at 2pm. We've gone every year they've had it and always had a ball, plus bought a lot of stuff at good prices. Yes, you can take your dog to enjoy it all with you.
