Most dogs love the snow, so for their sake, let's hope we get some. For those of us without natural fur coats, let's hope we don't, it'll just mess up the few February events.
Any of you who might be interested in a young Newf or even a puppy, check out http://newfierescue.org . Transport to our area can be arranged.
CANCELLED Sun 2/4 10am- 2pm, LAUREL, MD: Fidos For Freedom offers CGC/TDI testing and a tattoo clinic for those looking for an alternative to Superbowl madness http://fidosforfreedom.org/ .
Sat 2/10 2pm- 5pm, ANNAPOLIS, MD: Mid Atlantic Disc Dogs is hosting a working seminar conducted by Nancy Liptak, MS, RVT, CCRP, Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner.

RECURRING EVENTS:
Every Fri 4- 8pm WASHINGTON, DC: Doggie Style Happy Hour http://www.doggiestylebakery.com/funevents/happyhours.htm on the covered patio of Adams Mill Bar & Grill, 18th & Columbia Rd. I'm skeptical as to whether this is still happening but there's no indication on the website.

New!

This franchise has other locations too; in Tyson's Corner VA, Prince William VA, Frederick MD, & Howard County MD but the annoying website http://dogdaycare.com/ made me unwilling to check out all of them.
Every Sat GLEN BURNIE, MD: The Ordnance Rd Petsmart 410-582-9444 has indoor Play Sessions, 130-230 for small dogs & puppies, 330- 430 for everydog else. Call ahead first because times can change. Some of the other Petsmarts have these too.
