Fashion for Paws

Last Saturday I attended Fashion for Paws, a fundraiser for the Washington Humane Society held at the French Embassy. The highlight of the evening was a fashion show (humans and dogs!) with some well-known personalities in DC. The event was a big hit, and raised money for WHS' Good Home Guarantee, a five year plan that promises to find a good home for every adoptable animal brought to WHS shelters by the year 2010. The goal is to eliminate the need for euthanasia. WHS shelters maintain an open admission policy. No animal is ever turned away for any reason.

Here are some pics from a fun evening.

Pumper and the Boys

Last week, Carolyn and I dog-sat our friend's spunky Pug puppy, Pumpernickel. She enjoyed tormenting Jingles and Cooley by running under tables and through their legs as they tried to catch her. She must have seemed like a little toy to them, but they were gentle with her and they were sad when she left. Here are some fun pics of Pumper and the boys.
