Calling all pups!

Here is the itinerary, which includes the LA Pup Contest 2020:

Petplay Spotted in the Wild

Look around and you’ll find petplay in all sorts of places.

This marble statue portrays “Hermanubis:” a combination of the Egyptian god Anubis and the Greek god Hermes that was popular in Egypt during the Roman period. The palm fern meant to be in the right hand is missing.  Roman, Anzio. 1st to 2nd century AD.

Looking for something more contemporary?  How about Fox’s “The Masked Singer?”  Contestants are dressed up as various animals.  One in particular, “Rottweiler,” stood out to us because of his back-up dancers, who are sporting Mr. S-style puppy hoods.

Watch the full video of Rottweiler below:

#TBT: Ponies

As social media has grown, there are more and more ways for petplayers to connect and to look back on fond memories.

For example, remember The Races last year, at Ponies, Critters, and Kinksters?  This event took place in New Orleans; if you’re in the area, look up Ponies on the Delta for more info on local events!

Going even further back, take a look at these photos from Hawaii in 2016!

Puppypalooza: Encore

LA’s premier human Dog Show, Puppypalooza, is back for an encore!

On February 9th, we had over 30 attendees for Puppypalooza, and earned $650 for the ASPCA. We had so much fun, we decided to do it again!

Join us Saturday, October 19th, for six hours of games designed especially for you.  We celebrate our diversity and welcome all four-legged humans, including but not limited to, leather pups, rubber pups, foxes, kittens, and everything in between!

Our event is held at Sanctuary Studios LAX, which has previously hosted EQUUS, petplay socials, and petplay playdates.  Check-in is at 10 am; events start at 11 am.  Registration is $20 online and $25 at the door.
