In time for the holidays, House of Harvey hosted their very first Pup-Up, a pop-up photoshoot with four-legged friends, right here in Los Angeles. How could Bagel and I resist being a part of this? After all, Bagel + Harvey did share a photo shoot together (click here to see them "play haus"). Check Stephanie's shots!
Cheers!!
Happy Holidays from us!
This cute pic of Bagel made it on The Brick House!! She was working that dog scarf like no other during last week's WORK/SHOP, a one-night event created for merriment and holiday shopping with local talented LA designers like LuLu Dee, Kate Miss and Matchbox Kitchen. Glad I got to see and meet new friends and this cozy event.
And to top it off...
Here's our holiday photo from the event! :)
Thanks Ava Alamshah for snapping this sweet pic!
Can you blame this dirty face?
It's been raining here these past few days and Bagel's been stuck inside most of the time. Right outside our house, we don't have much landscaping, just dirt and gangly wild growth, so a little rain will make a muddy mess.
I thought we went out fot a tinkle but instead she wanted to come back inside looking like this! I had to snap a photo to share and at least show my husband!!
on the day I got her
This is our new puppy Bagel!
My husband and I have gone back and forth on this for weeks. We're newlyweds still, even though it doesn't feel like it. We're 6 months in, all settled in with zero chances of having to go back to Munich again
One day on the way back from errands, I stopped by a local shelter "just to look." I had never been to a shelter before, and I've been told that it can quite emotional. It was. It pulls on your heartstrings. I wanted all the dogs there. Still with my "just looking" attitude, I took my husband with me this time the North Central Shelter and saw a lonely little pup by herself. She was quiet, mellow and her nose and paws reached from under the gate. She was a cutie but I didn't want her puppy cute to get me.
After two more shelters, we talked ourselves into it. I went over to get her but she wasn't there. She has been transferred. After waiting 3 more days, I finally filled out the papers and got her from the West LA shelter and went straight to the pet store.
Now 3 weeks in, getting a dog changes your life. Not only do we have poopie bags in the car and in my purse, but we spend more time outside, restaurants are now picked based on whether they're pet-friendly, and most of all, this new feeling of guilt for being out too long. It's a lot of work but it's worth it!
About Bagel:
She's a 4 month old RatTerrier mix. She knows how to sit, shake, lay down. She's a little jumpy in dark places and she likes to bark at the early bird construction workers. Her favorite place to be rubbed is on her belly.
