| Ann and her boy Kaspar visit |
On Saturday, May 4, I gave a talk and had a booth at my first pet expo! I've arranged to go to 3 major pet expos this year to promote my book "Pets and the Afterlife" with D.C. Area Weimaraner Rescue in the same booth.

HOW DID I COUPLE WITH THE RESCUE? -
 |
| There was a lot of doggy traffic early in the day |
Because I was going to go to expos to market my book, I also wanted one of
the rescues we work with the benefit by exposure, sell stuff, and
hopefully get interested adopters or foster parents.

| Pointer-mixes? |
JOINED BY FELLOW WEIM RESCUERS AND WEIMARANERS!
Karin
Bakken and Ann Staford of DC Area Weimaraner rescue joined me at the booth
through the day, and each brought a Weim. Ann brought her adopted male
weim named Kaspar (who was remarkably social a couple of weeks after surgery), and Karin brought a Weim named "Oliver."

WHO IS OLIVER? - Oliver is a 6 year old Weimaraner that was adopted, but brought back to the rescue. I think it was because they "didn't have time to train him." I don't know why people think that a dog is going to automatically know how to behave in a house and know what to do without training. You can't do that to a person! - Anyway, being a fan of the superhero "Green Arrow" whose secret identity is Oliver Queen, I told her Oliver is a perfect name! Oddly, his family name was "Quinn."
