EverythingDogBlog #84: Wordless Wednesday: De-Lightful Dog Logo of APDT's 20th Educational Conference - in Spokane
Today and the next two Wednesdays will feature logos of the Association of Pet/Professional Dog Trainers (www.apdt.com), of which I am a proud and active member.
This week features the 20th year anniversary educational conference logo which just happens to be in my old hometown this year - on the other side of the country from Maryland, so you know I have to be there and work the conference!

The logo is simply adorable.
First of all, it shows a rather golden pup, and since I am a huge fan of Golden Retrievers, it really caught my eye. Have you noticed how Goldens and Yellow Labs seem to be everywhere, from dog advertisements to fashion magazines for women? They are so adorable, eye catching and popular.

Also in the picture is an evergreen tree - Washington is the Evergreen state - plus two intriguing landmarks of downtown Spokane: the wagon and the clocktower.
Have you ever seen a red wagon this big?
This giant red wagon called The Childhood Express is 12 feet tall, 12 feet wide, 27 feet long, and weighs 26 tons. The handle doubles as a slide and the wagon can hold 300 people. (Hmmmmm, that gives me an idea!) You can relax on a park bench and enjoy the beauty of Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane as you watch kids play. Or, hey, slide down the handle yourself (I won’t tell anyone. . . . )
The old clock tower (does that remind you of Nancy Drew?)
The old clock tower (five stories high) of the old train station (on an island, no yet!) is all that remains after the area was turned into Riverfront Park (spokaneriverfrontpark.com). The clock tower today serves as a reminder of Spokane’s railroad heritage. The giant grandfather clock is more than a century old and is wound once a week which takes 99 turns of a crank. Each of the four clock faces is nine feet in diameter.
