This past Saturday, Seattle Pug Rescue held their annual Pug-o-Ween fundraising event in Seattle.
What do you get when you mix a large community center gym, pug-loving owners, and approximately 100 pugs in costumes? You get an unimaginable amount of over-the-top cuteness! And just so you don’t have to actually imagine the cuteness on your own, I snapped a few pics. Enjoy!
This Sunday, September 30th, the Bulldog Club of Greater Seattle and the Cascade Bulldog Rescue held their annual Slobberfest festivities at Marymoor Park to celebrate everything bulldog. There was tons of information available on how to be a good bulldog parent, including info on training and showing, for the specific needs of a bulldog.
And now for your enjoyment, pictures of the squishy, smiley, drooly, and adorable faces of some of the bulldog (and French bulldog) guests.
Read no further if you’re from a third world country and you’re starving, because I totally have no shame in the fact that I took my dog Izzie to a four-star hotel for a gourmet dog brunch.
This past Sunday, Seattle’s posh Sorrento Hotel was host to a Bow Wow Brunch in its outside piazza to benefit the Seattle Humane Society. Chef Dan Gilmore of the Sorrento’s Hunt Club Restaurant whipped up a pooches-only menu that was quite a hit with its 4-legged customers. Owners were able to order off a people menu, but the main attraction was certainly the pups.
From the Bow Wow Brunch Menu, each dog was able to order a meal consisting of: scrambled eggs with either kale or spinach (I couldn’t tell); a gourmet cupcake pastry from Three Dog Bakery; a choice of either wild salmon and sweet potato hash, or domestic lamb with quinoa; plus an icy glass of either chicken or beef Bowser Beer for dogs (which I previously reviewed with my girls).
The pup brunch was a lovely afternoon in the windy piazza, with good company, spoiled happy dogs, and live music. Enjoy a few pictures from our party of pups who brunch…
Izzie’s buddy Skeeter waited patiently for his brunch.
Also at our table was Tucker, Skeeter’s doggie nephew. Tucker is such a fun loving little guy.
Skeeter showed the other dogs how it was done. Delicious!
Izzie pretended to nibble like a petite flower – then tried to fit the entire cupcake in her mouth in one bite (I’d like to say she didn’t learn that from me…).
Clean plate club! Is there more? Maybe the lady at the next table might want to share her toast?
This tired pup at the next table had just finished up at agility and was sipping his doggie beer slowly.
Don’t be looking at my food – I’m not done yet!
I seem to recall that the ASPCA highly recommends Eggs Benedict for Weimaraners. Yep, that’s definitely a thing.
Izzie on the way home dreaming about how we’re going to do this EVERY weekend. Errr…I have some bad news for you, Izzie.
Saturday, July 28th was the 4th Annual Go Dog, Go! Canine Festival and 2nd Annual Dog Walk sponsored by the City of Kirkland, Washington. Although I attend many dog festivals during the year, this one was special to me, as I volunteered with the City of Kirkland in the 2-3 months leading up to the festival. I volunteered because I have experience in event planning and love dogs…and this seemed like a perfect combination of the two! I had the chance to work with some really great sponsors, and learn more about working on an outdoor event (I’d always only planned indoor events).
On event day, I was busy, busy, busy from 6am loading in, until 7pm loading everything out, but I did manage to take a few pictures. Enjoy!

Of course *Boston* Terriers are Red Sox fans!
And look at the cutie faces on those two Boston Terriers.

So many of the awesome event volunteers had so much fun they came back later in the day with their own pups to enjoy the festivities.
It seemed like a good idea when I jumped up here…
Skyhoundz Disc Dogathon had it’s WORLD Championships Qualifier competition at this year’s Go Dog, Go!
I’m a well groomed doodle, yes I am.
With all these Corgis, surely the Queen must be nearby.
We’re fluffy and we know it…

Mostly hairless with a poof on top. Kind of like a comb-over?
So cute I had to show it twice…nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah Bat Dog!
This weekend was the 4th annual Frogs & Dogs festival at the Issaquah Brewhouse. It’s a fun little celebration in the town of Issaquah, where I live, approximately 10 miles east of Seattle.
The title of Frogs and Dogs might be confusing to some, so to clear it up, there were….
It was a nice warm afternoon to get out with the dogs (we just brought one), and taste test some beer – in the name of charity. The entire event was a fund raiser for the Issaquah Brewhouse’s neighbor, the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery.
There were at least a dozen breweries represented, and one more if you count Bowser Beer for Dogs. Yep, beer for your dogs. Why should people have all the fun? Non-alcoholic, of course, and a local Seattle-area company! We picked up a bottle of the “Beefy Brown Ale” and the chicken stock infused “Cock-a-Doodle Brew.” It’s chilling in the fridge, but watch soon for the results of my girls giving it a taste test. We might just have to invite over some other pups for a party!
Lastly, I had to share a picture of this smiley pooch with a collar that had a built in beer bottle opener. I tell you, they think of everything. Talk about your service dogs!
Gorgeous eyes!
