Features dog games, races, contests, microchipping, nail clipping, dog treats, Krispy Kreme donuts and (based on last year) some truly ghastly vegetarian fare.

Every Tu and Th 5-8 pm ALEXANDRIA, VA: Yappy Hour- http://doggiehappyhour.com . Held on a spacious enclosed outdoor terrace every Tues and Thurs from 5-8pm (often runs later)through Oct, this is a remakable combination of Happy Hour and happy dogs. Free and cheap snacks (ie, all-you-can-eat wings $1.95, shrimp $4.95) and a farm wagon piled high with dog yummies combine with booze to make this a memorable social outing for people and canines alike. Dress ranges from cut-offs and a Tshirt to business attire and street parking can be easily found.
Every Th 5pm-730pm, ANNAPOLIS, MD: Yappy Hour at Loew's Hotel http://loewsannapolis.com/ for directions, phone #. A great idea with poor execution. Two $4-$5 drink specials, no food specials, erratic outdoor service, scanty canine attendance and no effective barrier between you and West St. You have to know to ask for water bowls and a voucher for two free hours of $5/hr parking-they don't offer. Could be OK if you arrange to meet there with a group.

Every Fri 7pm - ? ANNAPOLIS, MD: Newf Stroll at the City Dock, weather permitting.

Every Sat 9am-11am, ARLINGTON, VA: Puppy Party see http://www.arlingtondogs.org/puppies.html for details.
