Over 132 people already know this fact: Schnauzermania is happening in NYC!

You can find Schnauzers on their own television channel.
There are Schnauzers meeting for playgroup twice a month through their own Meetup.com group. (2nd Sundays at the Washington Square Park big dog run and 3rd Sundays at the 72nd and Riverside Drive’s small dog run)

We even met a white schnauzer just the other day. Naturally, we mistook this cute puppy for a West Highland Terrier, but it was confirmed by the veterinarian that schnauzers do come in white.

Want to join in the madness with your schnauzer-type dog? Then sign up for the NYC Schnauzer meetup group.
Here is the information on their next event from Corris and Roxie:

NYC Schnauzers Meetup

When:
Sunday, October 8, 2006, 11:00 AM

Description: The dog days of summer are long gone. But hey don’t sweat it! Get a sweater!

NYC Schnauzers Playgroup is gearing up for the winter outdoor playdates by giving away dog sweaters to our members. Yay! This event is sponsored by The Dog’s Business owned by Jennifer and her Schnauzer Benny.

One sweater per dog. Arrive early as quantities are limited.

Join us at our favorite dog run: Washington Square Park. Schnauzers & Schnoodles meeting snout to snout! We have a howling good time at our Schnauzer socials and best of all, it’s free!

Bring a friend, a camera, and have lots of fun!

*What to expect*
Our lovely Schnauzers and Schnoodles romp and play off leash, while we gather to discuss the breed and other dog-related topics. We also take pictures to capture fun moments. Plus, free doggie sweaters for members!

To join our pack, visit us here.

Watch NYC Schnauzers on our new TV station!

Thanks!

Organizer, NYC Schnauzers Playgroup

If you have a non-schnauzer, maybe meetup.com has a group for you too!

Lucky you, for living in a city that boasts dog trainers who want to make your pet a star and advertising agencies that specialize in animals for advertising!

You could attend one of Bash Dibra’s Make Your Pet A Star workshops (although it is hard to tell when and where these workshops take place via the website). You could also check out his book, Star Pet, and make your pet a star-DIY style.

There are a few agencies that might think your kitty has what it takes to sell cat food, or better yet, cattails for FTD or 1-800-Flowers. Perhaps your dog really loves her cushy bed and would look good in a Drs. Foster & Smith catalog, or in a sprinkler commercial during the dog days of summer…

From our research, however, you probably need to know someone at a company in need of a pet for their photo spreads (like our friend Maggie the Golden Retriever and her owner, Michael), but if you want to be proactive about employing your pet, try Animals for Advertising, Inc. or All Creatures Great & Small.

(Note: Be certain your pet is well behaved, as these agencies are wary of pets they don’t know).

Let NYCityPets know if you have any luck with animal advertising in any capacity…we need the pooch to kick in and pay a little for all those stuffed toys she destroys in milliseconds!

NYCityPets came across an interesting Craigslist post recently.

The skinny: a designer for pooch clothing has a foundation to educate dog owners about the importance of blood screenings for dogs (since many diseases and problems can be detected early-on with blood testing). This designer, KellyMichael, wants you to make a work of art out of the Poochtee logo. If you win, the prize is $1,000 and your work will be shown in New York Dog Magazine during Pet Fashion Week.

For details and some examples of previous incarnations of the logo, go here.

From Craigslist:

…Who benefit from this?
Poochtee Love Foundation and other Foundation and artists benefit from the silent auction which will be display at Much Love Event (www.muchlove.org), Sliver Spoon Dog and Baby Buffet (www.silverspoonem.com), Pet Fashion Week (www.petfashionweek.com) and many more. That is why artists are welcome to submit artworks for FREE.

(Note: We aren’t responsible for the sp/grammar here…we’re just reporting the news.)

From Zum Schneider, comes a French Bulldog with a penchant for beernuts!
Let’s hope this dog-friendly watering hole will stick around and avoid eviction!
Note: Call and make sure your pooch is allowed before trying to take her to any bar/restaurant! NYCityPets will not be held responsible for any dog-related bar brawls.

(Thanks to Mosurades, for the photos.)

Have you tried the Dog-Powered Scooter yet? Please let NYCityPets know how you like it. We are interested, since this urban dogsled is touted as “…A combination of adrenaline, pleasure, and exorcise”.
Is your dog a little devil? Maybe you should check out this scooter.
