Dog Day Afternoon

The Columbia Association held its annual "Dog Day Afternoon" at Lake Elkhorn on Saturday. They lucked out with great weather and a good turnout of people and pooches.

We were there only a short time and didn't see all the results for the different contests (costumes, raffles, etc.), but it was great to see some of the new (and old) vendors catering to dogs. For one, it looks like we'll soon have several options for boarding and day care. The Coventry School has been around for several years, and Dogtopia opened in Clarksville last year. Also coming is Camp Bow Wow, offering day camp and overnight camp, and due to open in August. It will be located on Oakland Mills Road near Coventry. Club Pooche, on Red Branch Road, will have a grand opening on May 10.

I provided some cards for the Columbia Dog Meetup, so I'm hoping to see some more members sign up.
