Hello Friends!
In the past few weeks we've had a bevy of great pet events, but we're not done yet! While we were sad to have Responsible Dog Ownership Day canceled by the weather from Hurricane Ike, we were glad to participate in many other events. Thanks to everyone who got their dogs washed at Paws-N-Spas or stopped by Pet-Palooza in Gulley Park. And a big congratulations to the Bentonville Bark Park on their groundbreaking, we can't wait for the events that will be there when it's complete!
With the beautiful weather we've been having lately, this weekend should be a fantastic opportunity to take your dog out, and there are plenty of events to participate in!
This Saturday, October 4th, The Bella Vista Animal Shelter will host their annual Wiener Dog Races at Glasgow Road Softball Field in Bella Vista. It promises to be a fantastic event, with over 80 wiener dogs ready to compete for the prize in a series of races. Plus they're going to have a Wienie Parade complete with a king and queen of the Wienies! (Not to mention that the event is sponsored by Oscar Mayer - could that be any more perfect?)
This Saturday evening, Murphy Dog Park is hosting a Canine Movie Night. There will be a photo montage of past pet events from Pets Rock, so come out to see if your dog is included! Afterward, they'll be showing a movie complete with popcorn. You supply your seat and your drink. There's no price for admission, but they do ask for a donation to the Dog Park.
And Sunday the Dog Scouts are hosting a Dog-tober Festival in Bella Vista, complete with a Dog Walk (with hidden coins), a costume contest and games!
Don't forget, Citiscapes magazine is currently taking votes for their "Best of NWA" readers poll. We need our fans to vote for Bigwag Dog Bakery as the "Best Kept Secret" on NWA. If you haven't voted yet, head over to http://www.bestofnwar.com/ and cast your ballots (for us :) If we win, we'll be giving away free commemorative "Best Kept Secret 2008" treats to everyone who voted!
