CNNMoney and our tax refund | thepupdiary.com

CNNMoney wanted to know how we’ll spend our tax refund this year. They interviewed us a few weeks ago and published the article today ‘How I’m Spending My Tax Refund’. The title they gave us – Spoiling her dogs – was a bit funny to us. (Even though we will be co-starring on Spoiled Rotten Pets on Saturday, April 20!)

We are using just about every penny of the money on doggie “stuff”. Teeth cleaning – about $600 per dog. Therapy dog certification renewal and annual Gala – $350. Petplan annual health insurance for two pups – about $1,000. Trip to Glen Highland Farm doggy rescue camp – $500. Trip to Wigglebutt Wedding supporting rescue dogs – $300. So, I guess we are spoiled in some way! Especially considering some doggies don’t even have warm beds and good food . . .

Pretty in pink – we’re in The New York Times | thepupdiary.com

9 Apr

We were out and about Easter Sunday wearing our Sunday-best outfits. Bill Cunningham from The New York Times was also out and about covering his On the Street photo diary of folks dressed up for the Fifth Avenue Easter parade. He snapped a candid photo of Cubby as she walked along the Avenue with her pink ruffles bouncing in the wind. A pretty in pink pup!

NYC Tartan Day Parade | thepupdiary.com

8 Apr

Westies, Scotties, and ponies — oh my!! Just under 100 cute terriers marched in NYC’s annual Tartan Day Parade this year on Saturday afternoon. We met along West 44th Street to greet the other doggies, listen to the bands practice, and ooh and aah over cute pups dressed in Highland kilts. We even met the famous “sweater” ponies who are promoting Scottish tourism. The Shetland ponies were so cute and so calm. Especially with dozens of yapping terriers all around them! The marching kicked off around 2 pm. We headed north on Sixth Avenue up to Central Park. Most of our friends had a doggy lunch date in the park. Mom had to get us home early for another event . . . Our pup diary is always full!

We are lucky pups! We get to see the beautiful (and very funny) Beth Stern all around town at animal charity events and gatherings. Beth is an animal advocate and spokesperson for North Shore Animal League America. She is also an author and wife to Howard Stern. Her new “pet” project, Spoiled Rotten Pets on National Geographic, follows pet parents and their pampered pets on their adventures. Our New York Pup Scout troop stars in the very first episode airing on April 20. We can’t wait to see our doggy friends on the show! (Of course, Ginger has a speaking role!) Set your DVR for 9:00 pm ET on Saturday, April 20. We’ll be watching the show from a special red carpet Pup Scout doggy party!
