We all recently had a great time with our dogs at the recent Groomers show in Kansas City, and it was a lot of fun speaking to all of the groomers there about our growing dog training business. The response was really fantastic from all of them, and I think that they spend a lot of time having to constantly take in unruly dogs and having to groom them, that we both understood each other very well. Of course it was great to get to see Tom and Carrie Mancuso again, along with J.B. from our Kansas City Dog training location, and to see their dogs. We look forward to the event again next year!!

I have a copy of the book Rex in the City up for grabs! Here is a little more about it, and how you can win the book for yourself.

Lee Harrington, a frequent contributer to the Bark magazine, wrote a wonderfully witty and tender memoir about rescuing and abused shelter dog and rehabilitating him in her tony NYC apartment. During the process she went from glamorous downtown hipster to dog lover, thoroughly obsessed with the health and happiness of her dog. The book, Rex and the City, is now available in paperback and Lee is going on tour to promote adoptions and the book. Her tour (virtual and old-fashioned) includes inviting organizations to bring dogs in need of adoptions to her signings and donating a portion of the proceeds to the Mayor’s Alliance, a group dedicated to making NYC no-kill. You can read more about the book at www.rexandthecity.net, though be forewarned the publisher thought it was chick lit instead of dog lit.
