Jingle Bell 5k

Jingle Bell 5k

The last 5k of the year was PERFECT!  It was a beautiful  80 degree day and SANTA WAS THERE!  I think we surprised him when 21 dogs and 21 ladies came to sit on his lap! There was also a VERY LARGE mistletoe so you know our mommy’s had to stand under it and give us kisses! YUK! Our Leash Your Fitness runners and walkers had a really fun time and they got lots of goodies at the end and it was all to benefit a great cause, The Arthritis Foundation.  Mommy and I hung back at the Pet Patrol

Holiday Pet Parade 2013

Where else in the country do they close down major streets in the city for a Holiday Pet Parade?? San Diego rocks when it comes to being dog friendly and that was proven again today with thousands coming out in their Santa Hats, Elf suits and Holiday Gear for the 6th annual Gaslamp Holiday Pet Parade in San Diego.  Everyone was in a very festive mood and I have to admit that it was fun to see all of the holiday costumes and walk in the parade through San Diego.  I even got a few treats at the booths before the

We started the evening with a festive “Pumpkin Themed Potluck” complete with pumpkin hot chocolate, pumpkin dip, pumpkin cake, pumpkin salad and other pumpkin and fall related foods! Everything

The Ritz Carlton Posh Pooch Experience

Guess where we got to spend the night? At the Glamorous Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel.  Did you know that they are dog friendly? I got to appear in their Posh Pooch Video highlighting  all of the FUN amenities that they have for dogs! And now I got to check them out myself! The whole area is very dog friendly! We began our journey in Dana Point, we had lunch at “The Shwack Bar & Grill” and it was yummy!! We passed 2 restaurants with nobody in them and found this one with a line out the door! Always a
