2020 WMDachtoberFest
Virtual Long Dog Festival Update

Washington Metro DachtoberFest Foundation is excited to announce the "WMDachtoberFest 2020 Long Dog Festival, a Virtual Fundraising Event". When WMDF made the difficult decision of this year to cancel the 2020 Fest in Frederick, Maryland, we hoped that we could still put on an Event for all of our dedicated Fest Fans and we achieved that goal! With activities and programming planned throughout the ENTIRE month of October 2020, you will be able to enjoy the Fest from the comfort of your home!

This blog is packed with event information so please be patient while scrolling through. :)
A virtual Blessing of Pets and Animals will be celebrated on Saturday, October 3, 2020. This year we have several ministers who have graciously offered their time to offer blessings though both public and private settings. A Public Blessing celebration will be streamed to Facebook Live at the top of the hour at 11:00am, 12:00pm and 1:00pm. Private individual blessings will be offered between 11:00am and 2:00pm on Zoom.

Seats are limited. Reserve your time for a private individual blessing today.

Halloween is Coming! Read about REAL GHOSTS in Rob Gutro's books on Amazon

  




GET ROB'S BOOKS ON AMAZON : https://tinyurl.com/vzy7kre

ATTN: Animal Rescues; I will Give a FREE On-line Fundraising Lecture for you.

If you or anyone you know is connected to an animal rescue or shelter and would like me to give a  free lecture on how pets communicate from the afterlife, based on my 2 books "Pets and the Afterlife 1 and 2," contact me at Rgutro@gmail.com.  
NOTE: Pets and the Afterlife 3: Spirit Dogs, and Coping with Grief is coming in January 2021
HOW IT WORKS
  In short, I'm a meteorologist,but since I was a child I've had a gift to be able to communicate with those who passed. In 2005, when my puppy Buzz passed I've been able to communicate with all domesticated pets who have passed. So, I've written 2 books to teach others how to recognize the signs from their own pets. 
ABOUT THE EVENT
    My lectures are about 45 minutes and are interactive with audience participation, because you'd be surprised how many people have their own experiences. As a scientist in my day job, my books are based on energy. If people have religious beliefs or no beliefs, they can apply them to the concepts. There's usually a lot of healing and understanding that happens!
RAISED UP TO $1,800 IN ONE DAY! 
  You may want to speak with Megan Williams at Lakes Region Humane Society (LRHS) in Ossippee or Charlotte Williams at Animal Rescue League of NH (ARLNH) in Bedford to get their reaction on these lectures that I have done in BOTH rescues in 2018, 2019 and on-line in 2020. In 2018, ARLNH wound up having me do 3 lectures and raised about $1800 for them in one afternoon!  
NO COST TO SHELTERS
There is NO charge to rescues and shelters. They just organize the event, provide a space  (OR we can do it On-line as a "Live" event), collect the registration fees and host the event. So rescues advertise and charge for it (ARLNH and LRHS charged $20 per person, but you can charge what you feel is affordable),
WHY I DO IT ON MY WEEKENDS
I do this to help people heal from their grief and to help animal rescues raise money. Fortunately, I have a good daytime job that enables me to pay for transportation to rescues on some weekends to do this.  
I JUST ASK TO SELL MY BOOKS 
I ask for nothing other than to sell my books at the event for $10 each (to help pay for my travel) or ask that the rescue tells attendees about them and where to find them on Amazon.com.   I hope to visit in person or on-line and help raise funds for your rescue next year! Sincerely,
Rob Gutro

A Book Review I Like: Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation

 Please review my books on Amazon.com and Goodreads.com! It helps people find them and I appreciate it. Here's a great interview I received from Shelley S. about Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation

Shelley S.: Review: Ghosts of England: On a Medium’s Vacation  

As late Summer fades into the glorious shades of Autumn and you are stuck at home during the no-travel pandemic, your thoughts naturally turn to travel! You remember the joy of planning that next trip to Europe, wishing you were going somewhere fun this year. Planning is half the fun, and what better time to plan than now?! If you are a British history or historical romance novel fan, you are in luck because you can experience the best of travel planning and have a great read on a lazy Sunday Fall afternoon, while thinking of Halloween, all in one with Rob Gutro’s new book Ghosts of England: On a Medium’s Vacation.

This book blends English history, the supernatural, travel, and the paranormal all in one. The matter-of-fact approach is a great travel guide that never frightens the reader but leaves the impression that it is quite natural and wonderful to find ghosts in residence in castles and houses in Great Britain since their eventful lives and often tragic deaths have shaped history. This is not an eat-here-sleep-there guide to getting value for your travel dollar. The aware, open-minded traveler may want to take time to seek to engage with the spirits in residence at many of these locations and do some background reading, too.

So cozy-up with a pot of Earl Grey and a scone with your cat or dog snoozing happily, snug in a wooly throw, and get your travel-planning guide books together. Put this one on the top of the stack

Paranormal Q&A: What was your first case?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: Q: What was your first case? 

A: Although I encountered many ghosts on my own, my first "case" with the Inspired Ghost Tracking Group of Maryland was at a haunted book store in Baltimore called the "Book Escape."  I wrote about that investigation in my book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead."


  The bookstore reported that often the book they were looking for would be placed on the floor of the room in which it was filed. They also told of a glass sliding across a counter.

  I went into the investigation with another medium and the manager of the group, and we were able to figure out the identity of the ghost, and I even got a photo of him that I put in the book!

That investigation was also covered by the Washington Post newspaper. A reporter and videographer followed me around on the investigation.  NOTE: The Book Escape relocated its business into another building in September 2020, so the ghost will have new tenants.
My first case with IGT is included in this book!


For Rob Gutro's 7 books on the paranormal, visit: www.amazon.com. All of Rob's books were written to help explain the paranormal, and teach readers how to find signs from spirit.

Enjoyed the Documentary: Afraid of Nothing by Producer Bob Heske

Recently I  enjoyed the documentary called "Afraid of Nothing" by director Bob Heske. This isa documentary on the Paranormal and it covers many aspects of the paranormal, even delving deep into science! My review is below. 

MY REVIEW: There's a lot to the Paranormal!

Really really enjoyed this documentary on the paranormal. It was extremely well done.and set up to address certain topics within the field. It featured experts in different fields from an EVP specialist who had some wild personal experiences. to mediums and scientists. The quantum physics was mind-boggling to hear about, and the experiences were amazing. It's important to understand that there are a lot of facets to the paranormal. It's not just Earth-bound ghosts. This is well-worth a watch and the film-makers paranormal podcasts are wonderful.

ABOUT THE FILM:  100 billion souls have passed before us. Where do they go? This award-winning experimental documentary explores life and the afterlife with a quantum and paranormal lens. AFRAID OF NOTHING explores life and the afterlife through the lens of a shaman, psychic, healer, seeker, witch and other awakened individuals.
