Finally - here are the pictures we took at Petpalooza 2012 in Auburn last weekend. For the first time in a long time, the weather was great, and dogs were everywhere.
Seattle DogSpot had a booth and we enjoyed meeting lots of dog lovers that were roaming around with their pooches, many of whom were fans of our site!
Thanks to the City of Auburn for throwing another successful Petpalooza. We hope to be back in 2013!

The Cafe features a number of different esoteric items - shaving brushes, vintage accordions, bottle openers - that Chihuly has collected since he was a boy.
I don't know if Chihuly is a dog lover or not, but the restaurant has a several cast iron dogs that he collected, some of which are over 100 years old.

Today when I took our chocolate lab Dylan to Dog's Day Out, the doggy daycare we've been using for over 10 years, I saw this:
