Sixth Annual Fido Fashion Show

The Seattle Hotel Monaco was all a flurry with a stage full of furies this morning during their sixth annual "Fido Fashion" runway show. This sidewalk event features adoptable dogs from the Seattle Humane Society all dressed up in fashions provided by Railey's Leash and Treat strutting their stuff hoping for a forever home.

Evening Magazine's Jim Dever was on the spot MC'ing the fashion show, Chief Executive Officer for the Humane Society Brenda Barnette was on hand to offer her support and Seattle's Three Dog Bakery was just off-stage providing couture cookies for the canine models.

Fido Fashions may be a far cry from Pet Fashion Week, but it's a great way to get some handsome hounds adopted and raise awareness about the Seattle Humane Society. Not to mention, a great reminder just how incredibly pet friendly the Hotel Monaco, and all the Kimpton properties really are.

The one thought I am always left with after adoption events- after petting and photographing a myriad delightfully friendly Fidos is... How on earth could someone abandon, release or abuse this dog? It boggles the mind to know just how many perfectly wonderful dogs and cats are waiting at your local shelter... it never fails that these shelter animals are some of the most gracious, loyal and fun quadrupeds that I meet. It is so hard to understand how they end up behind bars...
