Charlottesville Albemarle SPCA BOW-WOW-Walk 2014




Success!

Yesterday, my buddies Lincoln and Jetson (part of the Sheridan Avenue Boys) met up with me and well over a hundred other dogs to take part in the CASPCA's first annual BOW-WOW-Walk.
It was super successful, with over $42,000 raised. Charlottesville is awesome!

What a blast we had. We got toys, t-shirts and gifts, all in return for just participating and walking 2.5 K with a bunch of other canines. We even got great healthy treats from our friend Pattie at the Animal Connection right before the walk so we had enough energy to go. 2.5 K is a bit longer when your legs are this short!


The turn-out was great! So many dogs!


We were so excited, Mom decided to keep us still by putting us in the stroller.

Hey: Bo-o-ring!


I quickly turned the royal stroller back over to Lincoln, who got to ride in it the whole way.


At 10:00 a.m. sharp they turned us loose: it was so hard to wait that long and we were ready...

What a humongous group of people and dogs: great fun!





They even had a special police officer who stopped the traffic for us: so cool!
I know all about security, there's nothing better than to protect a huge herd of humans!


Off we went.......


Some of us were a little bigger, some smaller. (Look at the loooong legs on that gorgeous guy to the right!)

The walk wound through the back streets downtown and then along the Downtown Mall where we got a water break. Then back to the park for the after-pah-tay.

SO MUCH TO SEE!


And so many new friends to meet!


Just look at all those dogs, and they all behaved so well.


 These guys were part of Team WALKING WEENIES.




 Eventually we had to leave. I was sad to leave behind all our new friends, but
we were hot dogs for sure, and super pooped from all the excitement!
Time to pass out, lol.


What a cool day, I hope we'll do it again next year!!!!!!


Ciao for now, I'll be recuperating for a few days, then off to new adventures.

See ya soon!

jolly jail time



 By now I'm sure you know that I've landed in jail...
Being perfect is very hard.


Jail's not really jail. But it means I have to stay in our workshop. 
Which, I have to admit, is actually kind of a cool place.


We make square things here. For people. And they get really excited about what we make, as if it were 
a big piece of cheese. So I've decided that I'd try to make my folly up to Mommy by helping her out a little.

Here goes: I put on my apron and grabbed some tools and some of those long things that go in a square.
I wasn't allowed to use the big equipment cause you need to use your feet and the paws at the same time, and, eh, I'm a little too height challenged for that. This: I got this!


... ummm ... so you put this here... and this here....


... eehhh... and you put this over here...


Hm. The paws. It's the paws. I'm having some trouble. I wish my uncle Dave was here, he'd help me!


... hmmmmmmmmmmmm...


Em, I think this ain't my thang after all... now what?



Oh goodie (hallelujah): Mom said it's okay and I can go home now! (VICTORY!!!!!!!)

She said I helped out a lot and I was a good boy. (Phew.)

And honestly, jail isn't all that bad. It's full of challenges, but it has it's good points.
 And every day I learn something new. Like: paws and waterproof wood glue: not a good match.

 'Later!

Project Bow Titus, Part Three: Tom and the yellow bow tie!




Meet Tom!

Well, actually Tom came to meet me at my work this week.


He's a very cheerful special events coordinator 
and he was super-duper stoked to share his favorite yellow bow tie with me! 
(He very kindly helped me put it on.)



Tom says: "A true Southern gentleman ALWAYS wears a bow tie!"

(I noted that in my new book "Titus's Guide for Dapper Dressing".)

What does a "Special Event Coordinator" do, you ask?
Well, I asked Tom the same thing, because I was very intrigued. I am always looking for new careers to peruse, and special events coordinating might just be right up my alley!

 He told me: "If you are having an event, definitely call me because I'll arrange anything from tap dancing nuns arriving at your soiree in a hot air balloon, to live giraffes at your birthday party!" 
Then he gave me a big, hearty laugh.

He's cool, isn't he?

Nice to meet you, Tom, and thanks so much for sharing your favorite bow tie with me!

xoxo TITUS


PS: We should mention that during the day, Tom functions as the much loved Executive Administrator at the 
Village at Gordon House. 
Thanks again Tom!

Project Bow Titus Part Deux: Bill and my favorite orange bow tie.





You know what's the biggest compliment of them all? (And you know I like to think BIG!)
When your really-really cool friends want to borrow your favorite bow tie, that's what!


Meet Bill. As you can tell he's a really snazzy dude. He owns a hair studio and he's one of C-Ville's best hair stylists -- the ladies swarm in from all over Virginia for his magic touch. 
(I might have to let him coiff some of my fluff one day!)
Last week he asked me if he could borrow my awesome orange tie for a special occasion.
What do you think, does he look as fantastic with it as I do? 
(I say: pretty darn tootin' close!)

xoxo TITUS




Remember: if you'd like to have your special bow tie featured on Project Bow-Titus, 
send it along with a photo or your story to La Linea Bella ! or contact us via e-mail!

Project Bow Titus, Part One: Edwin Higgins.


Here I am with my friend Will. 
Will and I are sharing a very special bow tie that belonged to Will’s grandfather, Edwin Higgins. Edwin wore bow ties just about every day and was a truly dapper dresser.
Will only knew his grandpa for six months before he passed. 
So today Will and I have collaborated: we have laboriously tied this special yellow and blue bow tie and are wearing it to honor the memory of Edwin. 
Don’t we both look super handsome? 
I have the feeling grandpa would give young Will a big thumbs up and say:

"Well done, guys!"
