Petco Foundation Hope Gala

The 7th Annual Petco Foundation Hope Gala is the foundation's biggest event of the year. It will be on June 20, 2015 at the Grand Manchester Hyatt in San Diego.

I love helping out the animal community in my own little way so I was happy that I was invited to do a takeover of Petco Foundation's Instagram account and report live from the Hope Gala. I will post pictures of the event where you will be able to see me have a good time. 

Dan Cohen, morning anchor on CBS News 8 in San Diego will Chair proceedings at the event.

My welcome package from Chewy!

Limited Edition Speedy Socks

I started a campaign with Bakdrop to create limited edition Speedy Boy socks. The campaign started on May 8, 2015 and will end on May 26, 2015. The socks will only be made if we reach the goal of selling 20 socks. More than 20 people bought the socks on the first day we launched the campaign so the socks will definitely be made. Yay!

Pet of the Month: Stogie - May

Stogie is our Pet of the Month for May. Stogie is 1/2 Chihuahua and 1/2 French Bulldog. He is 3 years old and very smart! He loves people and loves making them smile on Instagram! He is training to become a registered therapy dog so he can visit people of all ages in the hospital and help them cope with whatever they are facing. He is also passionate about promoting animal adoption.

Dog Beach: Ocean Beach

I've been living in San Diego for 5 years now but haven’t been to the dog beach yet. One day my human decided to take me to the beach during winter time here in San Diego. We left a little bit later than planned and the sun was going down but we decided to still check out the beach anyway. We went to Ocean Beach which is located at the end of Voltaire Street. They have a big parking lot so we didn’t have any problems finding parking.

Ocean Beach is known to be one of the first official leash free beaches in the United States. Dogs can run freely on the beach and surfers will be able to catch some waves. It's a pretty big area so you don't feel too crowded when you are there.
