Ten years ago, neighbors in Clifton wanted to create a space to gather together with their dogs and now, the Pop-Up Puppy Party (PUPPs) is an organized event that happens every month."So, it started in the Clifton Plaza where w e would make a makeshift dog park and the third Monday of every month from 6 to 8 we'd get together and have the dog park and it just grew from there," Aaron Weiner, who attends the events, said.Weiner told me that's how the Pop-Up Puppy Party was born in part, because Clifton didn't have a dog park to gather in."It was always a pop-up puppu party, but it was in the plaza, so it really was a pop-up because we'd have to actually make it makeshift," Weiner said.

How long have you had your dog?' You know, it just creates this conversation which I don't think you necessarily have walking on the street."With a bigger crowd at the dog park than normal during a PUPP, it can be the perfect spot for pet parents and the dogs to make new friends in the neighborhood.PUPPs are planned at the Burnet Woods dog park from 6-8 p.m. on: June 15 July 20 August 17 September 21 October 19 ...read more read less
