Party animals
Bar flies and bar hounds. ........
The Star Tribune tells the story about the Nomad World Pub, a bar that offers monthly "K9-Connection" nights.
More than 50 canines and their owners show up at the Minneapolis bar to sniff, drool, and howl. And that's just the people.
K9-Connection's owner, Angie Gwiazdon, said she created the event to bring dog lovers together. By day she is a licensed marriage and family therapist. (Jerry Holt, Star Tribune)
"Dog people tend to be kind, caring, compassionate and fun," Gwiazdon said. "Just like their canine counterparts."
About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
