I scheduled Bailey for his "big snip" today. Remember what Bob Barker said, "Help control the pet population. Have your pet spayed or neutered!" Well, I am being the responsible owner and doing just that, but I doubt Bailey will agree with me. Poor guy, he'll never know what hit him.

Since we're on the subject of New York City today,  I thought I would mention my good friend and comedienne Jamie Lee. Each month, she performs for Diamonds in the Fluff, a comedy benefit for East Village Animal Shelter. The next show is Saturday, June 6th at Karma (1st Ave & 4th St). This month she'll have special guest Jeff Rubin from College Humor.com! For those of us who wasted away any amount of time in our cubicles on their site (desperately looking for workday diversions), you know who he is. Anyway, if you're in the area, definitely check Jamie out- she's very funny and donations go toward a great cause! 

Happy Friday!

Everybody thinks his pet is cute- has that certain star quality. Why not show off your pet's devastatingly good looks and Oscar worthy acting skills in a film? The SPCA of Texas presents Pet Flix! They are now accepting short films, documentaries, and music videos from across the country starring pets! Give Charleton Heston the goldfish his chance to live up to his name. The deadline is Friday, May 15th, so dust off the camcorder and bring out the director's chair! Of course, your dog will want his own trailer! There is a $10 entry fee for each film. The Pet Flix film festival will be June 7th at the Granada Theatre. What a creative way to bring animal lovers together! And there's something in it for you too! They are giving out cash prizes for Best Overall Film, Best Short Tail, and Best Long Tail.  Tickets go on sale May 4th for $15 each. All proceeds go to the SPCA of Texas. Pets will be up for adoption at the event as well. Feel the love for your pet, and help one that does not have a home. Here is the website to learn more and download the entry form.

A little bit about Paws in the City:

Paws In The City is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization committed to ending the abuse, neglect and overpopulation of Dallas area dogs and cats. Our goal is that every adoptable dog and cat get a loving home. By providing money for spay/neuter and increasing the adoption rate, we take the first step in making Dallas a no kill city.

Paws In The City has spent many years rescuing and healing the abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and cats of our community. We have placed dogs and cats into our foster homes and then into adoptive homes. We also conduct offsite adoptions for the City of Dallas municipal animal shelter because they kill almost 30,000 animals..add the metroplex and it climbs to 200,000. Every dollar raised goes to foster, adoption, medical and spay/neuter programs.

Easter Sunday, April 12th will be the 24th Annual Pooch Parade. You can enter your dog in the parade, and win awards like Best Dressed Dog or Best Owner/Pet Look-A-Like Dog!
