If you live in NY or have the means to get there, why not pencil in February 13th as BUSY and head over to THE PEDIGREE DOG STORE for Yappy Hour, hosted by Wendy Diamond and her dog, Lucky and Animal Fair magazine.

Bring your pup (as long as he or she fits in a carrier) and have fun socializing and mingling while knocking back a few cocktails if you’re legal (you, not your pup).

If you don’t have a dog, maybe you’ll find love the day before V-Day and bring home a new companion to make Valentine’s Day even sweeter.

Here’s some celebrity-status pet jewelry for ya…Ritchie the Bulldog displayed the ultimate dog collar for Harrods annual dog fashion show Pet-a-Porter. The $1,031,115.94 USD diamond and gold collar made its debut today at Harrods department store in London.

The collar is set with Dali web cut diamonds, which are 2cts, along with a stunning center stone at 2.23cts. The total carot weight is 14.46cts.

Who’s buying one?!

This event just gets better and better! Animal Fair magazine’s Paws for Style not only showcases some snazzy apparel but they also benefit the Humane Society. A worth cause indeed.

This year’s celebs that turned out to strut their stuff on the catwalk with a fury companion of the dog variety were Hereos Hayden Panettiere, Trading Spaces and In Touch Weekly’s designer Doug Wilson (both holding Toby), As the World Turns, Alexandra Chando, celebrity chef, Bethenny Frankel and her dog, Cookie, Miss Teen USA Katie Blair and her dog Cindy, What Not to Wear host, Stacy London and Alice, Stella Keitel (daughter of Lorraine Bracco and Harvey Keitel) and Eloise, animal activist and philanthropist Frances Hayward with her rescued dog Amigo, Prince Lorenzo Borghese, the 9th bachelor on ABC’s The Bachelor and his dog, James Bond, Richard Belzer and his dog Bebe, lifestyle expert Mar Jennings and his Miniature Schnauzer, Corky and last but not least, Court TV’s Catherine Crier and two of her five dogs, Bella and Abigail.
