Pawsh Photos with Santa!

The "Photos with Santa" event was a huge success and helped raise over $300 for the Animal Rescue League of Boston! Thanks to everyone who participated. Click on the photo below to see all the great shots from Sunday.

And a special thank you to Fred Levy the photographer and Santa (a.k.a. Nancy's brother, Jeff) for donating their time in the spirit of the holidays. If you would like to purchase more prints please contact Fred directly through his website: http://www.fredlevyart.com.

Halloween Bash Photos now on Flickr!

The photos are posted on Flickr! Just CLICK HERE to view and download your pup's photo from the event. Your $10 donation to the Animal Rescue League of Boston earned you the electronic copy of the photo as well as a 4" x 6" print. Stop by Pawsh anytime to pick up your print.

Thanks again to Christine Fuchs of Tassels Pet Photography for donating her time and talent. The photos are awesome. Here's one of my favorites....Norman the Pug as Darth Vader. But he is a pug named Norman so I can't take him seriously at all!

Can We Talk?

Joan Rivers made an appearance at the Comedy Connection in Boston today and before taking the stage she met with some shelter dogs from the Animal Rescue League for a photo-op. Those three dogs named Max, Daisy and Boo Boo were decked out in apparel and Halloween costumes from Pawsh!

Thanks Joan!

Ice cream and charity mix quite well!

An enormous thank you to everyone that attended last night's Ice Cream Party at Pawsh. We had a great turnout (over 60 people with their dogs) and perfect ice cream eating weather. J.P. Licks was extremely generous in donating all of the people and doggie ice cream for the party.

Together we raised just over $500 for the Animal Rescue League of Boston. That money will help ensure that many homeless animals receive the medical care they need, as well as a chance to be adopted into a caring home.

I will post photos soon, just wanted to let everyone know how much we appreciate your participation at the event and your continued patronage at Pawsh!

First Aid Event @ Pawsh

A huge "thank you" to Back Bay Vet's Dr. Beth Waisburd for speaking to us for over an hour tonight about a variety of helpful pet first aid tips. Over 35 Pawsh customers were in attendance and Balki was kind enough to let Dr. Waisburd demonstrate some first aid techniques on him. We learned about everything from heimlich maneuver to heat stroke to seizures.

Dr. Waisburd mentioned the articles on the Dr. Foster & Smith Website as a useful resource for learning about common pet health issues and remedies. But she stressed that first aid should be used only as a first response to an emergency and should always be followed up by a visit to your vet.

Pawsh was on the news!

Channel 7 News was cool enough to send a camera to our Spring Open dogHouse back on April 2nd and put together this piece for their broadcast the next day. Some of the dogs seen in the video are Marta, Penny and Sophie.

Pawsh's Spring Open dogHouse was a big success!

That's Pretzel the Dachsund. His parents were the lucky winners of the raffle for two tickets to Fenway for a Yankees vs. Red Sox game! Thanks to everyone for taking part in all the activities last night...as a result of your generosity we were able to raise $250 for the Animal Rescue League of Boston.

The event was featured on the Channel 7 news last night at 10PM and this morning at 5AM. Whether your lucky dog had a photo taken, a paw read or a back massaged, it was all for a great cause and definitely a night to remember. Balki is still sleeping this one off!

Here's a BLOG POST by Li, the photographer at the event, featuring amazing shots of some very photogenic pups.

Bay Colony Dog Show - December 4 - 7

The BAY COLONY DOG SHOW is coming back to the Bayside Expo Center from Thursday, December 4th through Sunday, December 7th. Nancy and I went last year sans Balki (you can't bring your dogs into the show...I guess it would be too crazy) and had a great time watching handlers show their pure breeds off in the ring and maneuvering through the obstacle courses. 150 different AKC breeds will be judged for Best in Breed and Best in Show. It's definitely worth checking out if you have a dog, want a dog or just observe some very dedicated people and their canine companions.
