"Sit.Strut.Stay" was a success. Calvin was supposed to stay at home, but he screamed when we took Dolce out of the apartment, so we brought him along for the ride.
He had a good time playing with the other dogs backstage. And Dolce enjoyed being fawned over and strutting her stuff on the runway.
Dolce modeled a red sequin collar and a red, white and gray fringe band around her neck. She was adorable. She looked like a little lion cub. I was really proud of her.
The dogs from Young-Williams also did a great job. They brought five dogs to be in the show. My two favorites were a Miniature Pinscher named Bear and a Chinese Crested mix named Mr. Myagi. The audience was told they could go by the Young-Williams booth after the show to adopt any of the animals. Gerry and I left because our two were getting restless, so I don't know if any were adopted.
I was most impressed by the clothing designer Catie. Her company, Catie's Critters, provided all the dog apparel for the show. Catie is only 17 and a junior in high school. She has been creating animal apparel for almost three years now. And she donates 90 percent of her proceeds to animal rescues. How awesome is that?
