The 2007 winner of the "Longest Tail" category.

   

Somehow a dog was able to capture the 2007 "Most Unique Pet" category.  Must be the sunglasses.

Musical Chairs is a lot like the human version, only the goal is to not be the last pet sitting when the music stops. Trick Triathlon allows your pet to show off three obedience skills of your choice.  Grooviest Dance is your opportunity to participate in the hottest craze – pet dancing.  For Grooviest Dance, bring your own CD of groovy music and show off your moves.

The Pet Show is FREE, as it is generously sponsored by the Park Grove Pet Hospital and Aimee’s Pampered Pet Parlor, with goodie bags to participants from Chuck and Don’s Pet Food Outlet.

If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer at 651-459-6570 or email her by following this link.
