A Celebration of Dogs, Community, and Summer Fun!
Have you met Willow?
Willow's Birthday Bash was created to celebrate one very loved dog while giving other rescue animals a chance at their own happy ending.
Every adoption, every donation, every raffle ticket, and every person who comes out helps make a difference for local rescue organizations that work tirelessly to give dogs a second chance.
Willow is one of the lucky ones. Now we're hoping to help create more happy endings.

Enrichment activities provide valuable mental stimulation, help build confidence, reduce boredom, and strengthen the bond between you and your dog.
Best of all, Krista from A Dog's Tale LLC will be on hand throughout the day to demonstrate each activity and share simple ideas you can recreate at home using everyday items and your own backyard.
Whether you're looking for new ways to challenge an energetic puppy or keep an older dog engaged, you'll leave with practical tips to enrich your dog's daily life.
Bring your friendly, leashed dog and let them discover, sniff, and play!

You are my Sinchime
I create handmade Sunchimes - which is a term I created for my combination of suncatcher windchime installations. They are made with beautiful K9 Crystals, high clarity glass, Capiz shells and mother of pearl shells. I create everything from hand, including drilling my own holes and custom chains. All my material is stainless steel for durability and also so that they can easily be hung outside as well. I hand ring all my strands with O rings which is also something I’ve never seen before with any similar products. I wood burn patterns on some as well. They come in all sizes and purposes from Large to XS bag charms!
