Meet Howie!

Howie is a super adorable 3y.o. Hound mix who was found wandering in the Carter Barron Morrow Drive area. Howie is a super social little guy who LOVES touch and loves to put his paws on you. Tolerant and friendly with people and a little shy with other dogs, Howie will benefit from additional socialization and confidence-building in his new forever home. He'd also do best in a home without any kitties. Like most Beagles, he does know how to howl and because of this is likely not the ideal pup for apartment dwellers! Howie is full grown at about 45lbs....

A Dog Show, A Parade and A Pageant

Saturday, March 7th was a busy day in the life of Mrs. Alexandria! I started the day early preparing for the Fun Dog Show. The Fun Dog Show is an annual fundraising event for the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. I along with Team Karing by Kristina and Barkley Square host the event at Market Square in Old Town Alexandria. This year sponsors for the event included NOVA Dog Magazine, Dogtopia of Alexandria, Nature's Select DC, Paws and Claws Photography, Paws, Purrs and Exotics Animal Hospital as well as several others all raising money for the AWLA. I am happy to announce that we raised $1500 this year which is almost double the amount raised last year!

My next stop was the St. Patrick's Day Parade. This event is hosted by the Ballyshaners who began the parade tradition and the Fun Dog Show 28 years ago. I had a fun time riding in the parade in my car sponsored by Karing by Kristina.
My final stop for the day was the Miss Alexandria pageant. I was the official dressing room hostess. I spent the evening helping the contestants with outfit changes, safety pins, top stick and eyelashes! I am pictured above with ErikaThomas, Miss Alexandria 2009!

Shelter Dogs go to the Movies

On Saturday January 31, I attended "Shelter Dogs go to the Movies" to benefit the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. The shelter partnered with Regal Cinemas at the Ballston Mall to hold this event in conjunction with the movie "Hotel for Dogs." Barkley Square Bakery, Karing by Kristina and Dogtopia were on hand to give movie goers dog treats to bring home as well as information on Pet Care.

Haute Holidays for the Hounds

This past Sunday I attended "Haute Holidays for the Hounds" to benefit the Washington Humane Society. The event was held at Bloomingdales in Chevy Chase. For a donation of $15 participants were able to take a holiday photo with Santa or Frosty the Snowman.

The human participants were treated to cupcakes from Hello Cupcake and the Dogs were treated to Yummy treats from Barkley Square Bakery .

A Grooming Station to spruce up before the photos was provided by Karing by Kristina. The event was a great success and fun was had by all!
