The Paws-Abilities’ F.I.D.O. (“First In Dog Obedience”) Drill Team was formed by local dog owners to demonstrate the joy in, and fun of, owning a well-trained, obedient dog. The team is made up of mixed breeds, purebreds and shelter rescues ranging in age from nine months to 12 years old. The animals and their owners demonstrate semi-military marching style and work together in close order drill to showcase the benefits of training and to encourage others to train their dogs. They are truly fascinating to see!
And of course, as a continuing part of the Fall foliage Festival & Plant Sale, there will be plenty of awesome plants at sale prices to add to your landscape.
Today’s Plant Sale Special: ½ off Rhododendron faithiae in honor of our faithful furry friends.
Plus, get expert advice from the staff of the RSBG.
