Best Buddy was delighted to be invited to the 4th Annual Bark in the Park, sponsored by PAWS, an incredible organization that provides homes, food and medical care to homeless and abandoned animals. The event will take place from 11:00am to 3:00pm at Cranbury Park, 300 Grumman Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut, and all of the proceeds from this event will benefit these animals in need. Last year, PAWS raised $40,000 and their goal this year is $50,000! The day starts with a dog walk/parade (last year, there were 130 walkers!) and after that, there will be approximately 25 vendors, silent auctions, food vendors, etc. We think this is going to be a really great day and a very worthwhile event.

It was a beautiful day at the Guilford Fairgrounds on May 29th, 2011, where a large crowd turned out to show and test their dogs in a Kenilworth Club event. Best Buddy Biscuits was proud to be there for the third consecutive year selling pet treats and assisting with the trials. A large variety of unique breeds were represented along with many favorites, like Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds.
This year, Linda had an opportunity to be a stewart and assist the professional crew in the testing of these amazing dogs. She truly enjoyed her experience and was able to see what it’s like on the ‘other side’ at the Kenilworth events. The dogs were so fine-tuned to the signals from their masters and worked so hard to earn praise. She felt like they emanated a sense of pride and accomplishment as they receive their blue ribbons and masters’ congratulations.
Many thanks for Dagmar Moore and Barbara Keck for inviting us and making us feel like a part of this incredible team! We’re looking forward to next year!

This was the second year that Best Buddy Biscuits participated in the Dachshund Halloweiner event in Guilford, Connecticut, and we had so much fun! Ann Jordan is the coordinator of this day, and at any given point, she is the foster mom to no less than 20 of these beautiful dogs. This event draws nearly 100 dachshunds, all dressed in costumes which range from beautiful to absolutely outrageous. The dogs were quite comical–they didn’t fuss one bit about wearing these get-ups. It’s a great day overall for dachshund owners to gather and celebrate their pets, and we are already looking forward to participating in next year’s festivities!
