This past Trycia and I went to see cavalia with our good friends Chris and Lori. What an amazing show. The entire time we were watching the horses perform, I kept thinking to myself, “is there a way to get the dogs to do this”? It really is an amazing story and lots and lots of training and practice goes into the entire show. The show is here until the end of October, and if you have a chance, I highly suggest going to see it! Our good friends at Sidewalk Dog just did a blog post on the show! On a side note, Lori (from Lori Harder Fitness) is also one of the judges at our halloween party. During the intermission, we talked about how to judge dog halloween costumes Keith and Trycia went to the KARE 11 news to show of some doggy halloween costumes and promote the 2011 Woof-n-Treat dog Halloween party and costume contest. Thanks to Bone Adventure, Target and Fugly Friends for the costumes.

Staci Matthews from the KS95 Moon and Staci show hosted the costume contest. Staci and I worked together for 5 years prior to opening Pampered Pooch Playground!
Our 3rd annual Woof-n-Treat halloween party was a HUGE success! The Pet Project was able to raise over $1449.00 which will go directly to vet care and food for those pet owners in need! There were so many awesome costumes and everyone had a great time in the costume contest. Sarah Beth Photography was walking around snapping pictures of the event and we will have them up very soon. Each of the businesses at the event had to have a game for everyone to play, and my personal favorite was the one that Bone Adventure did. I don’t even know how to describe their game other than random and fun!
Happy halloween!

I don’t normally watch this show, but the one this week had the contestants on the show working at a doggie daycare in NYC. It is always funny to me when you see “business men” trying to run a service business and what they think sells and people want. The guys were so “business like” that I just had to laugh the entire show. I think it really helps when a doggy daycare is run by dog people, not business people.
We had a meeting on Thursday to discuss our 3rd annual Woof-n-Treat doggy halloween party and it will be the best yet! I can’t wait to see all the cool costumes!
Have a great weekend, make sure to check out some of the local apple orchards, many are dog friendly! I know that Minnetonka Orchards loves dogs!
