Sunday June 21, 1:00-3:00 PM, It's Dog Day Sunday!

Take this doggone fine opportunity to chat with oodles and poodles of dog-acious, sagacious dogs and dog-friends!

Heartwarming and powerful, Dog Blessings by June Cotner honors the special connection that exists between humans and their canine friends. Dog Blessings is a loving tribute to the kindest, most caring, and devoted animals known to humankind. More than anything, the book honors the profound ways that our dearest canine friends touch our lives. The perfect book for any dog lover, this is a collection that can be revisited and shared for years to come.

Exquisitely executed and highly amusing, A Dog Park Diary describes a Bellevue, Washington sanctuary where those pesky leashes can be discarded, and dogs can be dogs. This is the social apex for dogs - if you really had to ask! Dr. Jane Goodall Beagle, (most people just call her Goody) is our guide and mentor to dog park life. Goody introduces us to doggy etiquette and the importance of playing 'sniff-butt,' remarking: I think humans should do 'sniff-butt' too. Maybe they wouldn't fight so often. They would look pretty funny though.

What's a dog-owner to do? When Fido just won't do right-o, we all need some advice from time to time. Kari Youkey is an experienced, down-to-earth doggie "counselor;" with lots of sage advice for their humans, too. Kari will welcome your dog-gone questions!

Celebrate the Humane Society's valuable work! We thank all their volunteers, contributors, and hard-working staff - plus, we love to pet their pooches. Stop by and say thanks in person.

Dog days, the hottest days of summer, were so-named for the period when Sirius (the dog star) was the brightest star in the heavens. Charles Dickens wrote: "The cold within [Scrooge] froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiffened his gait ... he carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dogdays; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas." — A Christmas Carol
