Along with the Red Carpet with lots of photo flashes, there was a showcase of doggie couture and cuisine. Our dear pal, Jilli Dog, the famous poker-playing yorkie amazed the crowds. The main event was our Fairy Tails Fashion Show, featuring designs by Ada Nieves for Dogs and Bitch New York, and wigs by Wiggles. Oh, yes, I was the King with flowing robes, who looked out for all his wonderful creatures of the forest. My other pals who modeled these incredible creations included Andrew and owner Laurie Williams, Eli the star Chihuahua and Karen Biehl, Jilli Dog and Rick Caran, and Wyatt and dog whisperer Janice Wolfe and Ginger and Cubby. Other pups also rocked the runway escorted by our friends from Animal Planet's UnderDog to Wonderdog -- Andrea Arden, Ali McLennan and David Leon. Also on hand to receive awards were David Frei, of the Westminster Dog Show, and Beth Ostrosky Stern, who accepted an award on behalf of the North Shore Animal League. So many people to thank but love and special thanks to dear friend Ada Nieves for making sure her fur-kid models looked good and to my special friends who drove all the way from Albany to NYC to cheer me on!Photos at: http://www.bocker.tv/winter2010.htm | |||||||||
