Where to Go When there Ain't No Snow...

Ok - It's officially hot

Sometimes it's a wee bit too hot to go out in the middle of the day and lounge about.

But you fuzzle luving loungers should not despair!

For these hot summer months also bring out some cool local freebies (yes I know that was a lame sentence but I just can't help myself sometimes!)

So here is something you can do with a fuzzle in tow (if said fuzzle is one that you would normally take to le park with you). There is something pretty sweet about a leisurely park walk with a music break in the middle. Let music sooth yer inner beast & yer fuzzle too! As always if you are looking for a fuzzle to accompany you on these kind of outings, there will be some eligible adoptables towards the end of the post.

Peanut - a lovely 1 year old Min Pin. She is crate trained and is good with other dogs. She would probably like to go to a home that would have a doggy buddy for her to hang with.

Woofstock

So this is the first year I have mosied over to the fuz fest that is...

Woofstock!

First off it is a benefit for the awesome group Canine Companions for Independence. [link]
They provide highly trained assistance dogs to folks with disabilities and maintain ongoing support to their graduates so that the partnership is always a great one!

There were all sorts o' fun vendors. I was introduced to the fantastic doggy apparel of Hippy Hound. Sherri has the best fabric combos going on and the coat designs have comfort and ease of use well considered. Their website is still being worked on but it has contact info [link] The site indicates that she will have a booth at the Encinitas street fair on April 28th - defo check it out if styley doggy duds are on your radar.

I also won a hat from the Viejas spin' le wheel game. Whilst busy being a winner I noticed that they were handing out fliers for an upcoming event that sounds super cool. They have put together a fun fair of Service Dog Celebration.

July 28th -29th
10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Viejas Casino & Outlet Center

Once my perusing of the vendor zone was exhausted I mosied to the super frisbee dog extravanganza. I had never actually watched a fribee dog do its thing. On t.v. sure, but never live with the action coming fast n' furious.

the crowd was pretty into it - especially cause the dogs kinda slipped through the barrier flags a couple o' times to make their catch.
