| Tiki's Playhouse |
I enjoyed spending the day on Saturday, June 14th at the well-organized and fun
Carroll County Pet Expo in Westminster, Md. where I did book signings at the
"Pets and the Afterlife" /DC Area Weimaraner Rescue booth!
I met a lot of Weimaraner lovers (and former owners), a lot of people who miss their dogs or cats, some who have experiences living in haunted houses (that the Inspired Ghost Tracking Group I belong to) hopes to investigate, and others who came by to check out my books, say hello or bring their dog over!

One interesting vendor I met is Kelvin Abrams who had a Weimaraner named Tiki, and Tiki passed away so he stared a business in her honor called "
Tiki's playhouse, Inc. (Tiki's was founded for one reason: to keep your best friend safe, happy, and engaged while you're away.) Kelvin also has a doggy ice cream truck in honor of his beloved, late Weim Tiki. The boarding/daycare is located a
t 3830 Ten Oaks Road Glenelg, MD 21737, Tel. 410-489-7889.

I also got to meet and chat with Don, the host of
Pet Pourri Talk Radio show on WCBM, AM-680, Baltimore. The radio show airs on
Saturdays from 4-5pm. Pet
Pourri/Talk is devoted entirely to pets and helps people with their
pets. The host is a long-time dog breeder, exhibitor and representative

My booth at the expo was coincidentally and fortunately placed appropriately next to Faithful Memories LLC.
- Our dog Sprite's ashes is in one of the beautiful wooden boxes they
sell. Faithful memories LLC's website says they are "your caring
cremation
alternative for your family pet members in Maryland and the surrounding
areas . Providing personalized and compassionate cremation arrangement,
memory items, and support for your family during the loss of a beloved
pet."

I also got to chat with Ashley Carlson of
Animal Rescue Inc. and Amanda Seal of
Central Carroll Animal Emergency of Westminster, Md - a great rescue and hospital, respectively.

Rob Parr of the Maryland Pet Gazette stopped
by to say hello, and I was really excited to meet him. I've been using
the Gazette for MANY YEARS. It's the best source of pet-related
resources! Maryland Pet Gazette is the original pet yellow pages in Baltimore,
providing Maryland residents with the most accurate and up-to-date
information. This guide covers Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick,
Harford, Howard and Montgomery Counties, as well as the cities of
Baltimore, Annapolis, Laurel and Bowie.
