Easter Egg Hunts--Not Just for Children Alone!
For the last two years, we have enjoyed the novelty of an Easter Egg Hunt for Dogs. Our schnoodle loves the comraderie of the other dogs. The event each year has been held at Carmel's West Park . The dogs are divided into large 26 lbs or more and small under 25 lbs. At the "go", the dogs on leashes sprint into the fields to find treats. The treats are hidden inside (you guessed it) plastic eggs. Some of the eggs have numbers inside of them. These special eggs may be redeemed for a dog toy. It is a fun time, and of course there is always a dog or two that escapes and romps around. We have ended the hunt with a bag of dog treats, bakery dog bones, and at least one dog toy. I am not sure who enjoys the hunt more--our family or the dog. This year's event is on April 16th at 11:00. The fee is $3.00 per dog. Do you have an event like this in your area? Tell us about it.
