Wine and Fleas party

If a Sunday afternoon of wine-sipping and dog-walking -- all in the name of a worthy cause -- is your idea of a good time, the Linganore Winery has a deal for you.

On Sunday, May 4. the winery in Mount Airy will hold a "Wine and Fleas" event to benefit Maryland Westie Rescue, a volunteer group that's dedicated to saving West Highland White Terriers in Maryland.

Formed just last year, the group has already assisted 39 dogs in finding homes.

The event runs from 1 to 5 p.m. and costs $20. The winery is at 13601 Glissans Mill Rd. in Mount Airy.

Guests are invited to bring their dogs and enjoy a walk around the grounds and free wine tastings throughout the day.

Dogs are allowed in the winery's private tasting area, and for those wanting to take the full tour petsitters will be available.

I love the fact that the winery is making provisions for pet sitters to take care of dogs while their people go through the tour!

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
