Am I Boring My Dog? Book Signing
4:00 - 6:00 pm at the Hotel Monaco, 506 SW Washington St.
What's the latest word on vaccinations? Should I get a second dog to keep my first dog company? These are among the questions that author and first-time dog owner Edie Jarolim tackles in her informative -- and very funny -- "Am I Boring My Dog? And 99 Other Things Every Dog Wishes You Knew," published by Alpha Books. Edie will personally address these questions and more at a book signing at the pet-friendly Hotel Monaco Portland. Furry friends are encouraged to attend, and complimentary snacks and beverages will be provided for both two- and four-legged guests, with local wine and beers available for a donation to the Oregon Humane Society. The event is free and books will be available for purchase on-site ($14.95).
