5 Things Includes Animals, Rainstorms

A daily digest

Here are five things you can do or learn more about this weekend - especially if you're a dog lover:

  • Take the kids to Paws to Read at the Jimmie Keel Regional Library, 2902 W. Bearss Avenue. They can read to a certified therapy dog at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.
  • Stop by Groovy Cats & Dogs for Natural Paws-A-Palooza at 11 a.m. on Saturday. The event will be held at 10213 Lake Carroll Way, and includes seminars, samples and portraits for Fido. Find out more here.
  • Petco in Carrollwood is having dog adoptions at 10 a.m. on Saturday through an organization called Lost Angels Animal Rescue. Petco is at 13127 N. Dale Mabry Highway.
  • On an unrelated-to-animals note, we're looking for people who are hosting pink-themed breast cancer parties, breast cancer survivors willing to share their stories or fundraisers related to breast cancer during the month of October. Call Local Editor Camille C. Spencer at 813-230-4967 or email her at camille.spencer@patch.com.
  • Finally, keep in mind that Tampa Bay is expecting some severe weather early next week, according to the National Weather Service. Keep those umbrellas handy.
