We have another event Sunday!

[Louisa]

I know, another one of my events....

but I love sharing the details!

This sunday Aug 24th, we're going to animal friends Bark in the Park (same big Pittsburgh Humane Society that does the Mutt Strut!) and it's their biggest event of the year, and I am also the assistant organizer of the Pittsburgh Toy Dog meetup group, so I'm hoping everything runs smoothly with meeting up with the group and getting everyone together.
It was really difficult to find everybody and get together at Mutt Strut because there were so many people and dogs that came out (even though it was such a dreary day!) and the sun is forecasted to be shining and temps in high 70s, mid 80s here on Sunday, so there should be even more.
All of the same attendees in my gang will be going, minus my niece who has just got her first job and will be working! (bummer)  We were going to take Katy along this time, but with her not going, we wont be able to as I am already walking my gang, my nephew will probably take Simba for me since she is the easiest to walk and most obedient, good friends Chris and Jenna and their dogs (Westie and Lab mix)...
The Skyhoundz frisbee disc championships will be there and going on right after the walk, so that should be fun!
Things going on:

Gosh, you get all the fun stuff.  How come Chicago got voted top dog city in the U.S. last year when Pittsburg is having all the fun???

Carol you should consider coming to the Annual big doxie meet next summer if you're feeling well enough by then... we could get the gang together! Heck, you could bring levi and sonny along too. (and anyone else here on the boards who wants to join in??)  I wonder what ol sonnys reaction would be to a herd of tucker look alikes... he'd be like "Mom, you DIDNT....did you? were not taking them home!"  LMBO!  He'd have four of them crawling all over him, trust me Zoey wouldnt hold back.  Anything to be the center of attention.

Hey Louisa, that sounds like great fun.  I just might do that; although, I think Sonny & Levi would have a difficult time passing as weiner dogs.  lol!!!  Do u think Tucker could come if he's got a weiner body...think they'd notice that he has a chiuaua head???  If you get a chance, post a recent pic. of him so these guys can see his chi head and daschie body....he's a goofball
