If you like the beach and you're a dog owner – or wish you were – highlight Saturday, December 8, on your calendar. Because if it is even half as much fun as last year, you will not want to miss the Second Annual Daiquiri Dick's Pet Picnic. Hosted by the Jalisco branch of PEACE/ Ayuda a los Animales, which is making great inroads with its much needed neuter and spay programs, a doggone good time will be had by all under tents on the town's most popular beach. Along with a delicious bag lunch to share with your four-legged friend will be a doggie fashion show, a parade of pooches up for adoption, a raffle, door prizes and more. Tickets for this ideal opportunity to network with fellow animal lovers and be part of the solution for overpopulation are available in advance at Daiquiri Dick's. Check out www.virtualvallarta.com for more details on this and a spin-off event January 12 in Bucerias.
