What’s your Story | thepupdiary.com

21 Oct

We love the Story boutique on Tenth Avenue at 19th Street in Chelsea. Every four to eight weeks the shop changes concept with a different theme. The current theme, Made in America, showcases a wide variety of products from around the nation. Best of all, each new theme includes a cute pet area with carefully curated items.

Shopping at Story in NYC

If you’re looking for a unique gift, this is the place to come. We must get the DAFT Design Scotty doorstop! Other items included Bocce’s Bakery biscuits and Found My Animal leashes.

The shop is located at 144 Tenth Avenue at 19th Street.

Ghost towns, cemeteries, and haunted houses, oh my! | thepupdiary.com

17 Oct

It’s the season for spooky and scary FUN! Over the summer we visited two ghost towns out west. Find a ghost town near you!

Arlington National Cemetery

Pups are also welcome at many cemeteries, which can be great places for walks and history lessons. Earlier this year we toured Arlington National Cemetery in the Washington, DC area. Leashed dogs are welcome to tour the cemetery and see the famous sites. We have also visited many beautiful cemeteries in Vermont and recently on Block Island. Permanently New Yorkers was a recommended book to find burials of the famous and infamous in New York state. The Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is on our list!

So we aren’t actually going to visit any creepy haunted houses! But we will attend some fun upcoming doggy parties with haunted house decorations! Etsch Farms will welcome pups at their corn maze on November 2. Pups on the Runway will feature spooky decor at their October 25 event. And we’ll also check out the Central Park Pumpkin Fest on October 26.

Howl-O-Ween fun begins | thepupdiary.com

16 Oct

Last night we went to our first Halloween party of the season! Stonehenge NYC decorated the plaza next to their Hell’s Kitchen residential tower and had a doggy costume contest with some tricks and some treats! The event raised money for Bideawee shelter animals. (Check the calendar to see other upcoming events.)

Posing for #Stonehengepets

This is one of our fave times of the year! We love the beautiful fall weather and we also love all of the outdoor activities. There are dozens of doggy Halloween parties in the New York City area this year! We need to get busy and make some costumes! Last night we wore our birthday suits … And we were even outdressed by two cats!

And the Golden Mutt Award goes to . . . PupScouts | thepupdiary.com

30 Sep

This past weekend we participated in the 4th annual NYC Strut Your Mutt doggy walk hosted by Best Friends Animal Society. It’s one of our favorite NYC doggy events! The walk is held on the beautiful Hudson River, it raises money to help homeless pets, and several cool vendors and organizations come out to support the walk each year.

What’s cool about this walk is that rescue groups can form “dog packs” and raise funds for their own rescue efforts. Our friends at Yorkie911 Rescue formed a dog pack and raised over $4,000 to help Yorkies in need! The top dog pack honor in NYC goes to Long Island Bulldog Rescue with a fundraising effort of over $33,000!

PupScouts of DPFamily Troop 4 formed a dog pack team to support Best Friends Animal Society and raised close to $2,000 — earning the Golden Mutt Award for raising the most money for BFAS! PupScouts Cubby and Ginger visited the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah over the summer and hope to make a return trip with some other PupScouts next spring after the Blog Paws conference in May.

The PupScouts, a group of philanthropic pups, have more fun and adventure up their doggy sleeves! Follow them on their website PupScouts.org. All pups are welcome to become PupScout members or to form other PupScout groups around the world!
