Those who own dogs are statistically healthier. There are endless studies to the effects that their pawsome love lowers our blood pressure, raises our moral and keeps us living a more active life, so when dog lovers mix their canine pleasures with altruistic endeavors their acts of kindness must be reported.

DOGS IN PARTY HATS
www.dogsinpartyhats.com

This Fundraiser doubles as a contest supporting Guiding Eyes for the Blind and is filled with compassion and wacky wags! My friend Bocker the Labradoodle is their spokespup and Mr. April! Bocker’s Labradoodlicious Swirl was the April 2010 Flavor-of-the-Month at Via Vanti, in the historic Mount Kisco and it earns its licks from the doodle that stole my heart http://www.bocker.tv/

Carla Gambescia is the owner of Via Vaniti and creator/sponsor for this event, the 2010 contest is now in full swing – which is wonderful excuse to get Fido a Costume for Halloween, and I might just march to Target to see if any of Simon Doonan’s kitschy costumes are left! Ok – so you know you want to be IN IT to WIN IT and even your entry fee goes directly to Guiding Eyes. You can also Dog with them 365 days a year with their amazingly cute calendar... http://www.dogsinpartyhats.com/
Step 1: Create a look for your Puptastic Dog to show his or her spirit and don't forget the chapeau!
Step 2: Name a tasty Gelato flavor after your dog in heals that celebrates his or her costume.
Step 3: Submit the photo and wait for the judges to review all the worthy entries in November
Step 4: Eat Gelato!

MORE GOOD FOR THE GUIDE DOG AND A LITTLE VINO
If you want to keep giving and have a thirst for fine wine, I suggest you visit The Wine Guy, Andy Besch at West Side Wines www.westsidewine.com who also helps raise guide dogs.

HAIR STYLED WITH SONGS THAT BENEFIT VISUALLY IMPAIRED
I think all the Pawrents of the said 12 flavors should get their hair trimmed by my genius hairdresser Roberto Novo who works with many charities including VISIONS.

Call to book an appointment at 212 929 1652 and get set to have your hair behave and work for you versus you working for it! Just mention FUR and any of his Frenchies by name: Machito, Matilda or baby Millie and you will get the inside price and help raise money for the CD he is preparing for visually impaired children that study and find employment with Visions http://www.visionsvcb.org/services_children.html

I am mad for Bocker and all he does to raise money for his various charities of the heart and your cuddly toy that lends a helping paw to all who needs it. I am holding off on seeing EAT PRAY LOVE until they show your scenets.

We all love the Bella Starlet who also lends her furry heart to causes and lends the world a bow or too.

BELLA STARLET FROM BOWS TO HEROIC MESSAGES

Bella Starlet is a charmer and in this Pet Fashion Video moment at the City Pet Guide and FOUND booth, we learned a little bit about how she went from behind the curtin to center stage with her mom Beth Joy Knutsen. This dynamic duo have worked to develop many lines and products to raise money for shelters and dog causes, making her quite the hero in my book!

To see and learn more about this darling FUR person look at some of her websites: www.bellastarlet.com www.PureMutts.com www.BarkersBowtique.com

PET MANIA

THE MAGAZINE OF SIMPLE SOLUTIONS



Pet Mania is an amazing magazine that captures the sophisticated trends of haute dogs in Thailand.The editors strive to bring simple solutions in the world of animal lovers and is the only stylish pet magazine in Thailand. I think we take our glossies for granted, because everyday I see another dog specific magazine added to the shelves of Barnes and Noble!

I always look for who Pet Mania profiles and count myself lucky to have them in my FUR DOGS group and loved their write up on Bocker Labradoodle!

I asked Indy to answer a few questions about her interests in the industry and her passion for PET MANIA magazine which is written in Thai.


When did Pet Mania first launch?
PetMania was launched in August 2005.



As the premier Pet Magazine catering to the Pet Loving and Thai Elite how did your magazine build such a great awareness in the US ?
Actually PetMania Magazine is the THAI language edition, our real targets
are people in Thailand only but the nowaday technology help us to build awareness to foreign readers by surprise!

What are your 3 favorite Dog Stores in Thailand ?
There are significantly smaller amount of good quality oPet Stores in Thailand than in the US and Europe.

I will choose from my personaly experience which are Prima Dog @ Central Chidlom and Zen (not any more) with good service and nice product, MuMu Shop with differenciated Product and finally RoongRueng (1998) Pet Shop with high range of Product line and very friendly Price.

How are Thailand and US Pet Marketplaces similar and different in your opinion?

In my opinion, Thailand pet marketplaces are just only a small shop, the main products focusing on just dogs and cats and there are just a few product line in the shop when comparing to US it's totally difference. Since the culture is also differnce so the way of having a pet at home is also difference.


Who was your favorite interview to date?

My favourite celebrity is Natalie Glebova (Miss Universe in 2005), she not only beautiful but also very kind she adopt 2 cats from shelter in Thailand. We used to interview her last year with her 2 cats - Tammy and Molly.


If you could interview any famous dog lover in the world who would it be and why?

OH! there're so many, difficult to decide such as Jessica Alba, Richard Gere, Martha Stewart, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Oven, Zac Efron and more!


Saving the best for last>>>>>>>

What dog do you have and what is his/her favorite goodies (food/toys/fashion)?

Personally I have 4 beagles and they love tennis ball so much. Their favourite activity is fetch the tennis ball.
