If you love dogs, whether you have one or not, you should attend Animal Rescue Coalition's Dog's Night Out, held every year at Saks Fifth Avenue and this year co-chaired by Deb Knowles and Wendy Mann Resnick. It is such a fun evening! My dog, Bailey, and I look forward to this evening all year. Everyone is so proud of their dogs! I can't believe how many of them are dressed up. I don't think Bailey would allow me to dress him up. This year they didn't do the dog fashion parade, but it was still an entertaining evening.
You could have your photo taken with your dog, which many people did. I didn't with my dog because I had just came from the groomer who had done a horrid job on my poor Bailey. I will not be going back there! Bailey also has a terrible time with allergies. He has pretty much chewed off the hair on the whole back half of him, though he still has the cutest face possible!
It was quite a challenge for me to try to hold Bailey, take pictures for the blog, and write down information. The H-T's Gayle Guynup was the smart one and left her dog at home so she could write without being pulled all over the place! I don't see how I could leave Bailey home though. This was his third year at the event and I can't tell you how much he enjoys it! He is literally on the move all night long, going from dog to dog, smelling, sniffing, and sparkling! He is so happy and you can just see it on his little face! He is having the time of his life!
Normally there are more vendors than there was Friday night. Not sure why there weren't as many this year. I want to encourage everyone to attend this event next year. It has a relatively inexpensive ticket price and it is just plain fun. Everyone is so happy and excited to show off their "children" and the dogs seem equally excited to be there hob nobbing with all the other swanky dogs in town.
Others there with and without their dogs: Terry McKee, Mark and Jennie Famiglio, Bob and Kathryn Carr, and Nancy Wagner. There were many more notables there, but I was too busy with Bailey to write them all down!
Breaking News....Stephanie Hannum is leaving
The Observer after six years. As of April 1st, she will be VP of Operations at Diana E. Kelly, Inc. A perfect position for this smart, beautiful fashion plate!
