The day started out cloudy and dark but it quickly turned into a day for the pups. As the event started at 12 noon, people we're bringing their pups dressed in the finest. Music was playing, there were dog games going on and businesses and rescue groups were enjoying the crowd.
One of the first
rescue groups that we had the pleasure of meeting was the Friends of Greyhounds
www.friendsofgreyhounds.org). A wonderful rescue group that focuses on saving greyhounds after they retire from racing. They are loving and sweet dogs that are looking for a good home. They have kennels in Sunrise and Hialeah.
Another rescue group that I met that had the cutest puppy I've ever seen was called Adopt-A-Bull Rescue, Inc. (
www.adoptabullrescue.com) where
they have all different ages of bull dogs. At the event they had two adult bull-dogs and one white puppy bull-dog that was cute as can be. Many people stopped by to give a kiss to the cute and cuddly bull dogs.
If you're looking for a place to keep your pup for the day, week or month, Chateau Poochie has all the amenities you need. As their slogan says, "It's a Dog's World" and, they mean it. Not only is it a hotel for dogs, but for cats as well. If your pooch demands only the best, than the Royal Suite is what your pup needs. Pure elegance, this spacious 16X20 suite includes a designer king
size sleigh bed with luxury bedding, flat screen TV, webcam for private use, in room 24 hour concierge, bottled water and special amenities. This hotel is luxury all the way. Oh, and if your pet needs a little exercise they have only the best in their wellness center. You can visit their website at

If you love your pet and you want to immortalize them in a photo or in a painting then Sue Appleton Dayton can paint your pet or Tina Valant can take their photo. Sue Appleton Dayton is a magnificent painter that can take a photo of your pet (or in real life) and paint them onto any background
you'd like. When walking by her booth, she showed me one of her dogs with a beautiful mountain scenery. She told me that her dog's favorite place was the mountains and decided to paint him in his favorite place. You can visit her website at
www.sueappleton.com. However, if you prefer to have a photo of your furry loved one, than Tina Valant is the gal for you. She takes wonderful photos of pets, people, events and more. You can visit her website at
www.TinaValant.com, also Tina will be taking pet Valentine's Day Photos, don't forget about your loved one!
I also had the pleasure of meeting the infamous Diane Roadcap, The Pet Psychic. She and her team flew in from Virgina to this event to connect with
her South Florida audience. She gave a couple readings on stage and even brought one woman to tears. Diane has a very special talent for talking with animals, and can even do a reading over the phone. And she doesn't just talk to dogs or cats, but to all animals. Her website is
www.animalstalktoo.com.
I also came across a very interesting and new age method of entertainment, internet radio. But this is not your normal radio show, its a radio show
dedicated to pets and pet's health! Bill Piechocki and Diane Sudduth are co-owners of Fiesta Pet Deli in Festival Flea Market Mall at 2900 W. Sample Road, Pompano.

Shay from WooFDogs.com. He has the expertise and knowledge to train dogs from all ages. He holds private lessons, and teaches housebreaking, basic obedience and advance obedience, behavior problems, aggression managment and even protection training. As they say, "We speak your dog's language."
Another type of dog service at the event was 5PawPets where they have professional pet services such as daily dog walks, overnight pet sitting,
luxury pet fitness programs, pet transportation and much more. Their slogan, Love & Care, YES, We'll Always be There! You can visit them at www.5pawpets.com .
Lastly, a very interesting woman that I met at the event is the shows coordinator for Doggie Fashion Shows, Brygida Trzaska. I also had the pleasure of meeting Snuggles,
America's Top Dog Model 2008 Finalist! If you are interested in promoting your little pooch in a doggie fashion show, email Brygida at
