A formal (dog) affair

The Humane Society of Baltimore County held its "Black Tie & Tails" fundraising gala this past weekend, and Ace and I were there, along with our video camera.

The formal sit-down dinner -- along with silent auction, dancing, costume contest and more -- has been one of the society's chief fund-raising events. This year, though, it's adding a new one -- DogFest, to be held Saturday, Oct. 4 at Shawan Downs.

Watch this space for details.

The things that animals put up with never cease to amaze me.
I just know they all wanted to be in shorts and T shirts running along the beach.
I hope they all got some special treats for participating in that gig.
Oh well it`s for a good cause.

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.
