Run with your Dog
Jeff & Josie

The old saying goes, if your dog is over-weight, you are not getting enough exercise. Our goal is to meet with other local active, and not so active, dog owners who are interested in running (or walking) with their dog for general fitness or to lose a couple extra pounds (both you and your dog). Runners and walkers are welcome.

Fashion 4 Paws Review
 
Jeff on the CatwalkHi Everyone!

Fashion 4 Paws was a tremendous hit.  All the money raised went to the Washington Humane Society (WHS). This year's event raised a record $240,000 for the WHS and its shelters. Although we never saw The Honorary Chair Val Kilmer at the event it was still a great show. Over 1,000 people were there and we saw a number of Dogtopia friends at the event including Rufus's and Benson's parents.  Everybody had a great time.  Be on the look out for it next year, it is a wonderful event.
 

Regina and LuluA tremendous THANK YOU goes out to Teddy & Lulu's mom, (Lulu pictured right with her twin Regina).  Their mom, frustrated trying to make the left turn off of Duke St in front of CVS to come to Dogtopia, worked with the city to get a turning arrow in place and its here!  If you see a Clumber Spaniel with a killer Pug in the lobby make sure you say Thanks!!

March Dogs of the Week

Chloe for the week of 3/1/09
Chloe has grown up here at Dogtopia®. She graduated from the Toy Box to the Gym at a young age and now she plays constantly in the Gym. We love watching her grow!! 

 
 
Teddy for the week of 3/8/09
Teddy is a rambunctious young man. He LOVES to play with his pug friends here in the Toy Box. But his favorite pastime is curling up with his sister Lulu and take a long nap!! 


 
 
Yogi for the week of 3/15/09
Yogi is a member of the fluffy, white dog gang here in the Toy Box! He has many, many friends here. Yogi makes friends wherever he may go!! A personable and friendly guy, he always has a smile and a tail wag to share. 

 
 

Zan for the week of 3/22/09
Zan is a very cute and Kong-crazy dog!! He doesn't much care for lounging about or napping on the futon, he much more prefers to be running after the Kong or wrestling with his friends!! It's great to see Zan when he walks through our doors - he always has a smile on his face!!!


 
Dogtopia Athletic Club

Runner Happy

Do you like to run?  We are organizing our very own Dogtopia Athletic Club.  We'll be entering local races, mostly 5k's, that are dog friendly and you'll get a cool Dogtopia running shirt.  Our first official race will be the Waterfront Festival Road Race 5k.  This 5k is on June 20 and starts at the AMC theater near the corner of Eisenhower and Telegraph.

If you are interested in joining us or know of any dog friendly races please email Josie.  
Parking

The mechanic next door is asking the city to be able to expand his business which will make a tough parking situation worse.  Let the city know your concerns by emailing Nathan Randall in the city's planning department and reference SUP 2009-0007.
