Hello Friends!
First, I would like to congratulate Erin Jacobs - She knew three reasons dogs might dig were: For comfort on hot days, lay in the cool dirt; pursuing an odor of buried food; boredom. She was the first respondent in our trivia contest last month and won 25% off a custom portrait from Cho Blu Studios in Rogers. Thanks to everyone who played!
All of the dog walks were fantastic this year! We had a blast seeing everyone at the Dogwood Walk in Fayetteville, the Bark Park Walk in Bentonville and the Woofy Walk in Springdale. For those that didn't attend, we have photos and video on our blog at

Jen Cole was also kind enough to send her photos from DogWood walk and Springfest, and you can check those out at http://bigwag.blogspot.com/2008/05/more-photos-from-springfest-and-dogwood.html
And don't think the dog events are at an end! There are plenty of events in the coming weeks. This Saturday night there's a campout at Murphy Dog Park in Rogers. This Sunday New Hope Animal Hospital is hosting their annual Open House. And don't miss the first ever Paws-n-Spas Dog Wash at Dog Days Doggie Daycare in Bentonville next Saturday, June 7th. Come get your dog washed to raise money for the Humane Society of Rogers. If you don't have a dog, come help us wash! It promises to be a lot of fun!

Hello Friends!
First, I would like to congratulate Bonnie Plack - She knew the correct answer was 848 Dogs in 8 hours. She was the first respondent in our trivia contest last month and won a $40 gift certificate to Bow Wow Pet Styling in Rogers. Thanks to everyone who played!
Springfest was wonderful this year. For those that didn't attend, they actually setup an area just for dogs called "Doggie Alley" down by the Japanese Bistro. There was a dog parade that ended in Doggie Alley, and prizes were given away for the most unique dog, the dog with the most Springfest Spirit, and the Biggest Wag (of course!). All in all it was a great event to bring your dog to. They even setup a dogsitting area so you could drop your dog off and go have something to eat. We have photos and a video on our blog at http://bigwag.blogspot.com/2008/04/bigwag-at-springfest.html
We're gearing up for two big events this Saturday - The DogWood Walk at Gulley Park in Fayetteville and the Bark Park Walk at the future site of the Bentonville Dog Park. Both promise to be great. John Pelfry, the Razorbacks basketball coach, will be the grand marshall at the DogWood walk this year. At the Bentonville Bark Park Walk they are going to have Starbucks, along with tons of food, drinks, and giveaways. You also don't want to miss out on the Woofy Walk that is being organized by Girl Scout Troop 192. It will be at J.B. Hunt Park in Springdale on the following Saturday, May 10th!
