Sniff around on Thursday

For any pet owners who missed LifeBark Sunday because of the weather, there’s a rain-resistant option available tomorrow. Unleashed, an indoor dog park that opened in East Dallas this past summer, is hosting its first LGBT pooch mixer Thursday. Singles and couples — even those without dogs — are invited to stop by for “adult” beverages, games, music and four-legged friends frolicking about. The cost is $10 for a dog and his/her master, then $3 for each additional dog. (Singles get in for $5 flat.) Call 214-388-0701, ext. 304, for registrations.

Get out of my head!

The worst thing about being a pet-person is when people know you’re a pet-person.  I might as well walk around with a sign on my chest that says “sucker.” Our editor knows better than to let me see our Pet of the Week ahead of time — she knows I’d have most of them adopted before the issue hits the stands.

But Dawn Meifert and Philomena Aceto aren’t so kind. Both of them e-mailed me the same flyer for a beautiful dog who needs a home. That’s just mean. Someone, please save me from myself!  I can’t get a girl dog right now! She’s 2, friendly (non-aggressive) and plainly adorable. Call 214-327-2007 if you can adopt.
