Jim the Dutiful Son here, filling in at the keyboard for Kathy while she preps for a weekend adventure in the big city.

Mac's Macaroons is heading back to the Seattle Kennel Club's Dog Show this weekend at the Qwest Event Center. Last year was our first time exhibiting at the show, and we had a blast. Met some great folks, excellent trainers, and of course beautiful fast and graceful dogs. This year should be great fun, as well.

My personal favorite non-event moment came when one of the trainers walking her dog around the exhibit area stopped by the booth and looked over the goods on display. Kathy offered the pooch one of the dog treats, but the trainer admonished us we were wasting our sample. Her girl was a very picky eater! To our delight and the trainers astonishment, though, her little contender gobbled that treat down and started following Kathy around the booth waiting for more. The trainer was pretty enthusiastic at finding a treat her dog would finally go for. Nice!

Kathy will have a great assortment of canine kerchiefs, all-natural dog treats and Take-n-Bake mix. The Mac's Macaroons booth will be in the aisle nearest the agility arena. If you're attending drop by and say hi.
