“Puparazzi” goes to Town!
April 3, 2011
It was “Dogs Day Out” last Sunday at Alabang Town Center. The sun was out and the Town Plaza of ATC was packed (and I mean packed!) with people and their furry four-legged pals — the perfect opportunity for some “puparazzi” fun!
While some doggies and their humans were busy checking out the various booths or participating in a game, others were getting ready for what seemed to me like the most sought-after activity of the day — the amusing doggie fashion shows that culminated the event that afternoon.
While I don’t consider myself a die-hard fan of doggie couture and the like, one thing I do appreciate very much about pet events like this is that it helps bring pets and people together. And that’s always a fun thing! So thanks, ATC!
Here are photos of some of the adorable doggies I met:
Meet pretty Ashley, a 2-year old Cocker Spaniel getting all dolled up for her walk down the runway.
A sure head-turner that day was this Saint Bernard whom for the sake of my 7-year old son I will refer to here as “B.“
Check out this absolutely darling 5-month-old Yorkie and Allie Canine Couture model named Bono. Bono, what cute and perky ears you have!
Don’t let this sweet little 3-month-old face fool you. Bruno is one fearless, feisty Chihuahua! Isn’t that right, Bruno?!
Guess who else was at ATC! Chiquita, the pretty little Chihuahua I met at Bonifacio High Street in February. I was so happy to run into her again backstage for the Baby Moon Pawprints fashion show! Thank you to her mom, Cheryl, for letting me snap a couple of pics. Hope to see you again soon Chiquita!
Meet Dumbo, a dashing 5-year old Golden Retriever.
Edge is a lovely brown Lab I met backstage whose owner, Patricia Carrascoso of the Labrador Retriever Owners Club and Pets for Peace: An Initiative of Ang Komunidad Para Sa Ikauunlad ng Tao, helped organize the event. So happy to meet you, Edge!
Say hi to 4-year-old Chow Chow, Ginger! I met this cute and cuddly teddy bear of a dog right as she came in to register.
Love, love, Lola! Pretty, pretty Schnauzer, Lola!
Lord Seth is a 2-month-old and bi-eyed Siberian Husky. So beautiful!
Meet Lucky, cute and friendly 5-month-old Beagle pup and pet of Veia, one of the event coordinators for the day.
Martha’s mom warned me not to get too close. Apparently, this 2-year-old Daschund isn’t too comfortable around other people. And there were definitely a lot of people that day! It’s okay, Martha! You’ll get used to it soon.
Adorable Moshi, modeling for Baby Moon Pawprints collection.
Also modeling for Baby Moon Pawprints that day was one of Willa Tecson’s gorgeous black Labradors, Negra, eagerly waiting to strut her stuff on stage.
I think pugs are one of the cutest and funniest breeds! O.J. is 1.5 years old with a face that is totally pug-tastic!
Now who is this pretty little Terrier and Allie Canine Couture model striking a pose for the camera? It’s 2-year old Oreo! So feminine and flirty! Love it!
Petunia is a 6-year-old Chihuahua and amazing momma to 4 pups that she delivered via c-section. Way to go, Petunia! What a strong momma you are! It must help when you have a wonderful human like Irene who I can tell loves you a lot.
Ryu is a funny, scruffy 3-year-old Mini Schnauzer who has a vendetta against large dogs. He barked at every single one that walked by him. Funny Ryu!
No, he’s not the edible kind! Spam is a spunky 8-month-old Chihuahua.
Twinkle is Spam’s mom. She’s 2-years-old, an Allie Canine Couture model, and a proud momma of 3 pups – Spam, Shammy and Shiomi. Group hug everyone!
Congratulations to Alabang Town Center and to all the sponsors and organizers for a successful event! To all the pet moms and dads I met that day… it was a pleasure meeting all of you! Enjoy your photos!
