SF Green Festival
Attended the SF Green Festival on Saturday, April 10th held at San Francisco Concourse Exhibition Center. At the ticket counter, I was asked if I rode my bike, walked to the festival or took public transportation….I said “no..we drove..there were 3 of us”. The lady was undoubtedly disappointed by my response and started going off with the environmental affect of the pollution caused by cars………We just smiled, promised to take public transportation next time and headed towards the exhibitors area. The vendor selection was pretty good and I was thrilled to see such a big crowd of like minded folks. As I walked around, I kept thinking maybe I should have a stall for Dress My Pooch in Fall…this is the type of audience that Dress My Pooch caters to. We spent around 4hours and left the place quite happy with the green goodies we bought.

Aid for Haiti victims
The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) is currently responding to the earthquake in Haiti. The toll that this earthquake has taken on Haiti is enormous and our hearts and thoughts are with the survivors during this time of devastation. WSPA is poised to work alongside the humanitarian aid groups to help the animals that people so desperately rely on in this impoverished country.
Please help us bring relief to animals at this time of urgent need
When people’s properties are destroyed, animals’ homes often disappear too. Wild animals often have to flee their habitat to survive. Domesticated animals are at risk of remaining trapped or abandoned with no food or water. Helping animals affected by disasters not only reduces their suffering, but also helps restore entire communities.
As you can understand, information at this time is sparse. WSPA will continue to provide up-to-the-minute reports as we get more information from our team in the field through our Animals in Disaster blog.
WSPA leads the way in treating animals affected by disasters but we need your help to continue our critical mission. Please give generously towards our disaster relief fund – now.

Winter Paws
January - National Train Your Dog Month
January is the National Train your Dog Month. Hundreds of thousands of dogs have been turned into animal shelters because their owners didn’t know how to deal with behavior problems and couldn’t find a reliable resource to help them. The APDT, think it is long overdue to dedicate a month where we can bring awareness to the importance of socialization and training, and most of all, to inform the public that training your dog can be simple and fun! The APDT has selected January as the perfect month because, as we all know, so many dogs and puppies are adopted and brought home during the winter holidays. Our desire is to help these new pet parents start off the new year with their newest family member in the best way possible.
The APDT is planning a variety of events in January 2010 to celebrate National Train Your Dog Month. It is our hope that the everyday dog owners will visit our Web site, so that they can see how easy and fun training can be, and how patience, consistency and a deeper understanding of their dog’s behavior can lead to happier, healthier and harmonious households. We have a wide range of topics that we’ve covered so that pet owners will recognize themselves & their dogs. We have provided a great deal of information that will help using methods that are kind gentle and that have an emphasis on building your relationships with your dogs.
Please visit ADPT for more information

Kukur Tihar
Kukur Tihar is celebrated in Nepal every year and it falls within the Tihar festival. On this particular day the streets of Nepal will be full of dogs wearing garland and tika.
