the pup diary

The dog fashion and couture worlds came together yesterday in New York City for the second annual Celebrity Catwalk “Paws in the City” fashion show. Over 20 invitation-only doggy models strutted their stuff down the runway at The Cell Theatre in Chelsea — all helping to raise funds and awareness for homeless animals in the city. Former shelter pups ourselves, we are always happy to support efforts to help find forever homes for everyone!

Fifteen talented pet fashion designers from around the world donated their time and talent to create beautiful designs that rocked the runway. We heard several folks say this was “the best” NYC dog fashion show they have ever seen! A HUGE paws up to the designers and Jennifer Bartok of Celebrity Catwalk for this fun labor of love. We were honored to model 7 designs! I was a bit of a runway piggy because I was trying to find my mom in the audience – BOL! (And don’t laugh at my gait — I have a luxating patella. . .) All of the pups looked smashing! The humans looked pretty good, too. A special thanks to our model, Angie, for helping me strut down the runway!

Angie walked me on the runway!

We took our Paws in the City designs out into the city today for a fun photo shoot. Beautiful fashions and a beautiful New York City background of Times Square and Bryant Park.
