Two Great Doggy Events this Weekend!

First up, on Saturday (9/8), for the 14th year, hundreds of white Westies and their humans will walk to raise money for DoveLewis' Velvet Assistance Fund, which helps low-income clients in need of emergency care. Every year, these dogs and their owners come from far and near to show their support for those in need. You don't want to miss the visual of a sea of little white dogs, some in costumes, on the march along Northwest 23rd. Next up, on Sunday (9/9), the Tour de Lab is a bicycle tour of the Lucky Lab brew pubs. You'll journey along urban routes on a three-pub 18-mile ride, or a four-pub 40-mile "Big Dog" course. Both rides include food, beverage, fun party favors, a costume contest, and a commemorative pint glass. For more info on these DoveLewis events and others visit the DoveLewis website. [Sept 6, 2012]
