What's even more fun is to dress them up and have a doggie fashion show. I actually attended a Canine Fashion Show while vacationing in Aspen Colorado. It was so much fun to see the dogs in costumes. One Dog was dressed in a ballerina costume, another in a football jersey, another as a Hawaiian in a hula skirt, and yet another, the first prize winner was dressed as a skier and was being pulled on a sled. HOW TO HOLD YOUR CANINE FASHION SHOW Choose an afternoon so that people can go home for lunch and return with their dogs. (Allow extra time for lunch that day.) Hold the fashion show either outside in a park, or the parking lot of your office building - or inside at a school gym, or recreation center. Rent a microphone and speaker so that you can announce each dog and its owner as well as award the winners. It's very difficult to hear without a microphone when you just have a group of people, not to mention the dogs. Pin a sheet of paper with an entry number on each dog's owner.

I love to dance and thought it might be fun, but for my husband to go, it took some arm twisting. Only when he found out that he didn't have to make a commitment or pay till the third lesson did he reluctantly agree to "just try it." Well, we survived the first two lessons, and when we left home to go to the third lesson my husband surprised me by saying, "Don't we need to take a check with us for the rest of the lessons?" Obviously, he was having fun, too. Not only is square dancing a great way to get aerobic exercise, it's also great exercise for the mind because it makes you focus. You learn a lot of different steps and have to listen intently to the "calls" by the leader. Square dancing is also very social since you change squares and dance with other couples. Don't have a partner? No problem. They always have extra experienced dancers who are eager to fill in. Look up Square Dance Clubs in the phone book or call your local recreation centers to see if they offer lessons - and you, too, can "swing your partner and promenade home."
