Thanks to everyone for coming out to the Pet Lover's Expo and stopping by the booth. Although the weather was not exactly great, Merrickville is still a beautiful town to visit for the day! All of you were the first to grab the new brochure featured here. The cover image is of Scooter, the proud owner of Gloria. I wanted to point out a great pet friendly place to stay! Only a couple of hours away from Ottawa is the pet friendly cottage resort that you can bring your loyal canine with you! Check out www.lakeedge.com.

And....you need to check out this artist! Lee-Anne Healey's Carvings in Wood! www.healeycarvings.bravehost.com

B.A.R.K. Woofs and Wags walkathon
So everyone has to come out this event! A great day at the arboretum raising money for an awesome organization and cause that helps a ton of dogs! The day includes a free barbeque and vendors that have provided their services for free. In fact the line was large for photographs that I have enlisted a great photography friend of mine Brigitte Bouvier.

Last year B.A.R.K. spent close to $175,000 in vet bills. Any money raised during their largest fundraising event of the year will go towards a great cause. I have been working with B.A.R.K. for close to 6 years and I have been inspired and propelled to action by the awesome conditions that Sharon and Peter go into to rescue these dogs. If there was a day that was worth a walk in the park, it is this day. Plus the trees are always blooming in the park! It is a beautiful day. Everyone do the non-rain dance please! So stop by, grab the new brochure, get your photo done....but most of all enjoy raising money for an awesome group!

Cheers
Sue
