Bandita’s 4th of July at Sam Houston Race Park!

WOW – 4th of July at Sam Houston Race Park! I do not like fireworks – my mom sprays this yucky herbal stuff in my mouth which I am not 100% convinced is for dogs but…she is afteral the head “bitch” of my pack so I just go with it and it really does help me calm down afterall. Before the fireworks started I performed (well, they call it perform but I call it playing, those silly humans) with my Dad on the lawn all day. There were so many people crowded around watching me catch frisbees and flipping in the air! I loved it. My mom has this little pool that she takes with us and she fills it with ice and then when I am finished I jump in it and splash around in the ice to cool off, I posted pics of me in it. My sister Spinner performed with my mom on the main track, it was a good performance, I guess, she will never be the champion I am though. The horses raced all day and I really wanted to chase them but I cant get to them through all the gates and stuff, so frisbee is the next best thing. See you at Barks 5th Avenue, dont forget we do grooming, training, boarding and doggie daycare!

Hugs and Licks,

Introducing Dolce Bandita

Dolce BanditaHi! I am Bandita, also known as Queen dog at Barks 5th Avenue. I wanted to bark news about what is happening this Independence Day! Actually on Saturday, July 4th, Barks 5th Avenue will be providing wholesome family fun and entertainment at Sam Houston Race Park on Beltway 8 all day from noon until they close. My mom Pennie Mahon and her world famous Frisbee disc dogs (including me), Spinner, and Tom Sawyer performing with Huck, will be in the fun zone demonstrating their amazing routine including disciplined feats of acrobatics you might have previously thought dogs incapable of. There will also perform once on the main track. Quite a large turnout is expected and we would love to have you and your family join us as we celebrate the birth of our nation as only Barks 5th Avenue can!

Hugs and Licks,

Bandita
