Every other year an Old English Sheepdog meet-up, a "Sheepiepalooza," meets in St. Louis over the Memorial Day weekend. On the alternate year, I understand, the group gets together somewhere else. While in St. Louis this past weekend the group visited "dog friendly" places including Purina Farms, a dog park in Soulard, and on Sunday the CWE, where they had lunch and visited Wolfgang's Pet Stop at 328 N. Euclid, far left above.
Yesterday afternoon I spoke to Wolfgang employee Beth Ruppel who happened to be working two years ago when 23 sheepdogs stopped in for a visit. She laughed and said, "That's a lot of fur."
There are great photos on the "OES" website, and even more on a blog titled "3 Sheepies and an Old Guy" chronicling the dogs visit to our town.
