B-Town Dog Silent Auction

You may have noticed I have been absent for the past week or so... Why? I am getting ready for my little dog Owners Group, B-Town DOG's first money making event - the B-town DOG Silent Auction. B-Town DOG is a group of dog owners and dog lovers whom are tasked with raising funds for our city's first ever off-leash dog park. And of course I, with my colleagues Kellie and Lauren, am in the middle of things. We are holding an silent auction at the local favorite coffee spot, Burien Press, one week from today, August 1st, 6-9 pm. (The Auction itself will run from 7- 8:30 pm). We have many great items donated by both Businesses and individuals, seen here. Everything from Belly Dance peformance to handmade quilts to A truck wheel hibachi! So if you are around the Burien area, stop by and bid... Do it for the dogs!

AARF Fun!

Romeo and Buddy checking out the goodies!

What I did on my weekend. Well I had to work, but I did have some time to attend the annual A.A.R.F (Animal Assistance and Rescue Foundation), where I adopted Buddy, Whine and Cheese Auction. While auctioning, I bid on some great items, and won two... A gift basket of dog goodies, which includes a grooming and a pet sitting certificates!

YUMMY!!!

And a guilt free  Raw Chocolate Cheesecake, which as you can see is slowly getting eaten, piece by delicious piece, from Deceptive Delights, a bakery that specializes in no guilt desserts! And too SWAG Bags full of goodies and food for Romeo and Buddy! All in all a good night and a great organization for dogs!

Arts Aglow lights up the Night

The annual Burien Art’s Aglow festival was held on Saturday. Quite fun with all the lanterns and such, the highlight of the evening is the procession, led by VamoLá Brazilian  Drum & Dance Ensemble, and joined by hundreds of people wearing lit costumes and carrying handmade lanterns, through the local neighborhood. This year besides the Community Garden setting up lanterns and lights, a lot of the homes along the route of the procession also set up lanterns, to celebrate.

Many folks dress up in ornate lit costumes
