We made a short video for the Dog of Hamann – Canine Lifestyle Fashion Award nominations. We had to summarize what we do in less than three minutes. That was ruff since we are always so active and on the go! Of course, mom left lots of important information out of the final version! But we did have fun going through photos and putting it together.

Four for Fido | thepupdiary.com
8 MarLast week we posted four ideas for our furry friends and their parents to get out and get active. New York dogs are always on the go! Check out a few more ideas to add to your Pup Diary!
ADOPT or VOLUNTEER
Foster Dogs NYC and the New York Dog Nanny will host an adoption and information event on Saturdays March 9 and March 16 from 2 to 5 pm at the NYDN’s boutique at 126 Lexington Avenue. Always wanted to open your home to foster pups but not sure where to start? Come to talk to volunteers and rescue groups to get the 411. You never know! You may just find another furry friend for your life! Several rescue groups will attend.
DISCOVER OUTDOORS
So this is the coolest idea ever! Sign up with Discover Outdoors who have teamed with Animal Haven Shelter for a hike in the country with an adoptable dog. This day-long trip includes an orientation at the shelter to become a volunteer. The program launched last year and sold out very quickly, so don’t delay in registering! Hike with an adoptable dog begins on March 30 this year. Discover Outdoors also offers other unique outdoor excursions for doggy people including kayaking and apple picking. Fun!
BLOG PAWS
Thinking about starting a blog with your pup, cat, ferret, bunny . . . Come to Blog Paws May 16 to 18 in Virginia. You will make connections with experts and other animal lovers who can give you advice and friendship. A really great group of people! Book early to get the group hotel rate at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner.
PUPPY LOVE SPEED DATE
Well you may not make a love connection . . . but you may meet some new doggy friends! Check out the Puppy Love Speed Dating event on March 12 at The Watering Hole.
Arf Arf! Have a pawsome weekend! Remember to fill your Pup Diary with lots of fun activities!
Four for Fido | thepupdiary.com
2 MarSometimes we feel like we’re chasing our own tails trying to keep track of all of the fun dog events and activities that take place in and around New York City. We decided to write a “Four for Fido” post every so often with different activities our doggy friends may want to check out. We love trying new things so let us know if you have suggestions! We hope your pup diary is full of fun plans!
BAGEL BARK
We love the Central Park bagel barks. Pups and owners meet the first Saturday of the month in a different Central Park location for off-leash play and breakfast treats. The next bagel bark takes place Saturday, March 2 from 7:30 to 9:00 am near the Heckscher Ballfield #3.
INTRO TO AGILITY
Andrea Arden Dog Training will hold an introductory agility class on Sunday, March 3 at Animal Haven Shelter from 10 to 11:30 am. This is a great opportunity to check out agility, get some exercise, and meet new doggy friends. The class fee is $75. Register in advance to save a spot.
BARK IN THE PARK AT CITI FIELD
Mets Bark in the Park baseball tickets are on sale now. This dog-friendly baseball game supporting animal rescue sells out every year. Don’t delay. Get your tickets now for the April 20 game against the Washington Nationals. Human tickets are $35 and pup tickets are $10.
MEETUP
Baby it’s (still) cold outside! If you’re looking for indoor playgroups, check out Meetup.com. Many breeds have their own groups that meet from time to time. Colleen Safford has just started a group for small dogs and they meet every Wednesday from 8:15 to 9:15 pm at D Pet Hotels on West 27th Street.
