It’s a Wonderful Dog’s Life

We know how stressful the holidays can be for us, but can you imagine how your dogs must feel? C’mon, you bring a tree into the house and then expect Kiki and Rufus to not chew, scratch, or pee on it? That is so unfair. Take the fur kids out...

We know how stressful the holidays can be for us, but can you imagine how your dogs must feel? C’mon, you bring a tree into the house and then expect Kiki and Rufus to not chew, scratch, or pee on it? That is so unfair. Take the fur kids out of their light-and-tinsel-festooned abode and bring them to their own party. Today the nonprofit Miami Springs Dog Park, Inc. is hosting its first annual Holiday Extravaganza and Craft Fair to raise funds for park enhancements. You and your pooch can snack on homemade treats as you peruse the craft tables for unique gifts. Even Santa is going to make time in his busy schedule to pose for photos with your canine companions. The park is located on the corner of Dove and Quail avenues in Miami Springs. Visit www.miamisprings.com to read the fascinating comments in the Miami Springs Dog Park Forum.
Sat., Dec. 9, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
