Hundreds of gingerbread cottages all in a row | thepupdiary.com

6 Jun

A fairy tale land came to life! That is how we felt in the Campmeeting Association campground in Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard. Over 300 beautiful cottages – some dating back to the 1800s – are home to year-round and seasonal residents. The colorful cottages, now listed in the National Register of Historical Places, are a short walk from the dog-friendly Steamship Authority ferry.

What started as a religious tent settlement back in the 19th century has turned into an interdenominational community. Some of the cottages have remained in the same family for generations. (Mom said we probably can’t live there since we are so noisy!) But we did meet a cute Westie who was sitting on his porch as his parents did some renovations around their house. They stopped their work when they saw us and came to meet us. They love terriers as much as mom does!

I kissed a Prince (and I liked it) | thepupdiary.com

6 Jun

“Will you accept this biscuit?” That is what he asked me right before I planted a big wet kiss on his cheek! Well he is Prince Lorenzo Borghese from The Bachelor series on ABC, so he must say this to all the pups he meets! LoBor (that is our pet name for him) produced his own bachelor show with doggies called America’s Next Top Dog. Candidly LoBor’s show was sooo much better than the human version! And not just because we had starring roles! BOL!!

Lorenzo, who is a founder of Animal Aid, is a huge animal advocate and supporter. I kissed him on the red carpet of the recent Celebrity Catwalk Paws in the City runway fashion show. The show featured adoptable pups from Animal Care & Control and Rescuzilla. Ten doggy fashion designers from around the globe donated their time, talent, and gorgeous fashions to help make the runway show a success and get media attention for the adoptable pups. The Housewives of New York came out with a film crew. Could Carole Radziwill be any cooler?! She even offered to get involved to foster pups! Smart, beautiful, and a kind heart.

So there was drama before the event, during the event, and after the event. But we are kind of used to that. . . Some doggies wanted more fashions to wear. Some doggies wanted more rescue pups in the show. Some doggies came just to be filmed for “reality” shows. And some doggies insisted they looked better than everyone else at the event. BOL! This little doggy came out to support Jennifer Celebrity Catwalk, the designers, and of course the thousands and thousands of doggies at local shelters each year, who just want a place to call home . . .

We love the beautiful blue skies and fresh air! We’re on the dog-friendly ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. It’s a 45-minute ride from Woods Hole, MA.

Over 1,500 pet adoptions in Maddie’s Fund Adoption Days NYC (Video) | thepupdiary.com

Update on June 7: We just received the official event press release and more than 2,500 adoptions took place in the NYC area during the Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days!! It was the city’s biggest pet adoption event ever!

*************************

Last week we listed 10 reasons to adopt a dog at the Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days in NYC. We decided to check out Sunday’s large event at Petco Union Square. It was a busy and bustling scene in the hot sun! We even saw a cat getting a bath to cool down! Kudos to Rock & Rawhide, the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals, and the Petco Foundation for helping to make the event a success!

Happy to report that over 1,500 adoptions took place this weekend!
