A Happy New Year to all of you! Too bad there's not much (as usual) going on in January, but still a few things.

Plan Ahead: If you want to know more about clicker training and are willing to travel to the Philadelphia area to do so, check out the Karen Pryor 3 day Clicker Expo http://clickertraining.com/clickerexpo/east/ held Mar 26- 28 with early bird discounts for those registering on or before Jan 5.

Sat & Sun 1/3-4, GLOUCESTER, VA: RSK's 4th annual NewYear's weight pull http://www.iwpa.net/calendar.htm . OK, so it's a ways off but if you're interested in these, they're few and far between.

Sun 1/18 2-3pm, SPRINGFIELD, VA: Now this is an intriguing event- take your dog on a cruise of Lake Accotink on their "mighty pontoon boat". Looks like they want you to pre-register so go to http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/accotink/bark.htm for details.

We've gone every year they've had it and always had a ball, plus bought a lot of stuff at good prices. Yes, you can take your dog to enjoy it all with you and haul the loot. I figure I pay for it so he can carry it.
