Dog Events returns after a five month hiatus necessitated by my spine surgery from which I'm recovering slowly but surely.

A NEWF ROMP n' SWIM on Sunday 11/5 at 1pm and the shopping opportunities of the Turkey Cluster of dog shows after Thanksgiving are the highlights of the month, at least for me. Those of you with Newfs, don't forget the Williamsburg, VA Christmas parade & CNC draft test combo on the first weekend in December, details below.

Also, if anyone is interested in the 5 m/o brown Newfie boy who's looking for a home, you can meet him at the Romp.

Everything is close by and an easy walk from plentiful parking. The last parking lot on the right is the closest and you'll walk towards the bay, taking a left on the paved trail that runs along it. Just after the trail takes a 90 degree turn to the left are the semi-hidden stairs down to the dog beach where you'll find Newfie paradise. Weather is predicted to be sunny and in the low 50's.
