Baltimore Life: Dogfest 2009

Baltimore is definitely a town full of “dog” people and with the crisp autumn air comes lots of family-friendly events you can enjoy with your pup in tow.

If you’re looking for a fun-filled day with your dog, FuzzyMug invites you to head to The Humane Society of Baltimore’s DogFest 2009 this Saturday (rain date is Sunday) at Shawan Downs in Hunt Valley. The focal point of the event is the “Paws on Parade” Pledge walk where individuals and groups can walk their pups to raise money for animals in need. Other activities for you and your pup include costume and skill contests with fabulous prizes, interactive games, a doggie swimming pool and beach area, a pumpkin patch and pet pics with Santa. There will also be food, drink, face painting for the kids, and a vendor area featuring local artisans (stop by the FuzzyMug booth and say "hi"!) and rescue groups.

So, pack up the whole gang and spend the day celebrating your furriest family member while supporting a great cause.

Date: Saturday, October 10, 2009 (Rain date, Sunday, October 11)
Location: Shawan Downs, 1401 Shawan Road, Hunt Valley, MD 21030

Friday Finds!

Fall's here and already, its gone to the Dogs!
I find as the weather changes, my mini dachshund, Mason, and I spend more time outdoors. The cool weather inspires longer walks and more frequent trips around the park. Which got me thinking... if I pick up a new fall wardrobe & new bedding for my own cool weather nesting, shouldn't i do the same for him?
