Official Weekend Kickoff – Dog News & Views

Yes it’s Friday and of course that means it’s the official kickoff to the weekend, for those of you not familiar with what I’m chatting about I’ll fill you in. Weekends are the time we set aside for our beloved dogs and family pets. Weekends are for romping and playing with our best friends. So let the romping begin.

To help sort through the choices, here are some tips for finding a nutritional food at the best price from Iveta Becvarova, a veterinary nutritionist with the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech.” read more Pet Food Tips

A short jump down to Portland and I came upon a fun story about an event taking place this coming Saturday entitled Pooches on the Green  “The city of Beaverton will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and dogs with its first “Pooches on the Green” event, set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Beaverton City Park, on Southwest Watson Street between Fourth and Fifth streets.” read more Dogs Celebrate
