1st Year Anniversary Party was a Success!!

Two weeks ago on Oct. 8, 2008 over two dozen downtown residents and their dogs celebrated our 1st Year Anniversary.  For a year we've walked, talked and explored downtown Los Angeles making new friends and meeting our neighbors.  

Special thanks to LAPD Senior Lead Officer Duarte, Hal Bastian of the Downtown BID, Cabrini of the Lofty Dog (doggie cake sponsor), Rob of Pussy-n-Pooch (dog treats), Showbiz Ribs and last but not least Celia, Jim and Wonton for their continued support.  

It's clear that in the past year we've seen tremendous growth in downtown and together we can bring forward change to the city; advocate for improvements and amenities such as open public spaces for our families and dogs. 

Thank you for the continued support and friendship, see you all next month.

One Year Anniversary!!

September Dog Walk turns into "Goat Watch"

For a few weeks our puppies and pooches became only the 2nd most interesting four legged animals in downtown. With the CRA's master plan to clear the hillside of 4th Street and Hill with goats, lots of downtowners made their way to the hill; that included the dog walk.

Who are they talking about? Urban Scrawl

August 13, 2008 Dog Walk Photos and update

Some photos from the last dog walk. A great summer turnout had new and old friends taking a walk up the hill to Olive and 4th to run loose at the park.

Not a Dog Park yet! But a new park Downtown

Yesterday we made our first visit to the Vista Hermosa Park. It's on the outskirt of downtown L.A. but really close: only a shot drive on 1st Street just across Beaudry.

Although there's no specific area for dogs "YET!" we saw lots of residents walking their dogs and a few took liberties off-leash chasing each other around the park.

June 11 Dog Walk

Thanks to Rob and Cosmo the June Dog Walk Downtown L.A. got out of the heat and into the hip and comfy surroundings of Pussy & Pooch. Over a half-dozen residents and their dogs met up at Pershing Square for a walk around town. After a brief meet and greet the group headed east along 6th Street past multiple movie shoots.

Thank you to all those who made it out tonight we and hope to see you and the rest of the Downtown Dog Walkers next month. July 9, 2008
