Pupapalooza, California
16 September 2006
Having been a member of the
Zim
family forum for a while, and enjoyed the pictures of the lovely puppies and
dogs from California, and after helping to organise the first UK
Pupapalooza in Greenwich Park, Lucy decided to
take a short trip over to the original
Pupapalooza - a weekend-long event that celebrates (American) Cocker
Spaniels and their owners. These Pupapalooza parties are timed to coincide with
the Zim family's litters of puppies, so that out-of-town friends can come meet
the puppies just before the pups go to their new homes.
