Last Saturday was the annual Bark in the Park. As always it was well attended. Auntie Cindy and crew from Albany Pet Care was there to greet her four legged friends as was Rob Nadler with attire from Ragged Mountain. It was great fun for the dogs and their human families. So proud. Sir Lancelot won two ribbons! There was one dog that stood out as I had never seen such an animal. He’s a Leonburger owned by Franz Huard and Michelle Dolan, part-time residents of Madison. Go on line and you can see for yourself what an unusual dog this is.
Good news from Mary Leavitt. She is on the mend walking and feeling stronger. Keep it up Mary!
