Angel on a Leash: Dog Fashion 2011

This Dog Fashion Show benefit the non-profit organization Angel on a Leash.   I remember on one of my days at the hospital receiving chemo, a dog came and to visit me.  It made me so happy to pet the dog and it made me feel more at ease.  I am not sure if the dog was from this program, but I fully support the idea of animals helping with the healing process.

Since, we got our Shih Tzu, Dusty Rose it has been great.  She keeps me company through some long days.  She lets me pet her and hug her.  She brought so much love to us.

We Were There: Dog Fashion Show!

Over the weekend, some of the city's small dogs strutted their stuff on the catwalk for a Dog Fashion Show at The New Yorker Hotel. The event was to benefit Angel On A Leash, a non-profit organization that creates dog therapy programs. Amongst those walking their dogs down the runway were New York personalities and celebs (Oscar-winner Celeste Holm and, well, mostly reality show stars). After all, why should cats have all the fun?!

Now having seen both efforts, it does look like cats have dogs beat in the fashion world, however—the felines really brought their A-game to last summer's Cat Fashion Show. At this weekend's event, it seemed the dog owners were more concerned with primping themselves than their pups.

Random things that makes our dog happy...Making us happy

Meet Dusty Rose!

My husband and I just love Dusty Rose. She has found her way into our heart very quickly. We love taking her to as many places as possible. We have taking her on a Pupcation, Geo Caching, Farmer's Markets, and to the Beach. We look forward to other adventures that will make her happy...that makes us happy.

How Dusty became part of our family?

Dusty was with a family for seven years, but they had a baby who was allergic to the dog. My daughter had dog sat while the family went on vacation the summer of 2009. We all fell in love with Dusty. At the time, we didn't know the family was considering another home for her. I found out several weeks later when I was talking to my sister and telling her how much we missed Dusty. My sister knew the family was looking for a new home for Dusty.  Several weeks later they dropped Dusty off for the last time to her new home.

Puppy Love: Dusty Rose

Our dog Dusty Rose has been with us for one year. She is an eight years old Shih Tzu. She was with a family for seven years, but they had a baby who was allergic to the dog. My daughter had dog sat while the family went on vacation the summer of 2009. We all fell in love with Dusty. At the time, we didn’t know the family was considering another home for her. I found out several weeks later when I was talking to my sister and telling her how much we missed her. My sister new the family was looking and several weeks later they drop Dusty off for the last time to her new home. Dusty came in with such a greeting of running from place to place with such vigor. Then ending with getting up on the couch and howling. It was the cutest thing ever.

We love bring her on car rides. She loves her face in the wind. We brought her on

pupcation this summer to hotel in New Hampshire. I love dressing her and she loves being dressed. Most of the time it just her Puppia harness (Puppia is the company I bought from on Amazon.com), Dusty hates the rain, but she loves her rain jacket, Halloween is a given. Dusty has been a hot dog and and angel. Last year we passed out dog bones to the neighborhood dogs.

She has been such a blessing to our family. My husband, loves walking her. The best part is when he tells her it is time for the walk. Oh boy! she starts skipping and acting like a puppy. It so great watching her and petting her it warms the heart.
