* Dog dayThe Irish Blue Cross is holding the first of three Bark in the Park walks tomorrow at St Anne's Park in Raheny, Dublin. (Be at the Sybil Hill Road entrance at 2.30pm.) Supporters of the charity and their dogs are welcome to join in and make a donation. There'll be a four- kilometre pawprinted route around the park, and participants will receive a certificate of participation and a doggy bag. Awards will be made to the best bark, the waggiest tail, the shiniest coat and the happiest smile. Call Jenny on 086-1704730 or see barkinthepark.ie.
