In the words of Mister Señor Love Daddy (Do the Right Thing), the forecast in LA has been “HOT!” Angelenos—and their dogs—have been melting in a relentless heat wave that has shattered temperature records.
So, what were we to do but throw an epic pool party?!
The Wildest teamed up with entrepreneur, rescue advocate, and dog (and human) mom extraordinaire Pia Baroncini to host a Dog Pool Party. Oh, we were also celebrating her Bulldog Chichi’s birthday!
LA’s coolest dog people, pooches in tow, turned up to beat the heat: Devin Brugman and her rescue dog Walter, Zizi Donohoe and her pup Rocco, Jessica Currie and scruffy Momo, The Wildest’s April cover star Stephanie Shepherd and Binx, and a dozen more made a splash.
Even a couple of our Collective members, integrative veterinarian Dr. Lindsey Wendt and celebrity dog trainer Nicole Ellis, were in attendance—Nicole taught a few dogs some new tricks, to boot. BIG thanks to Modernbeast who ensured the birthday boy and his friends were donning “pawty” crowns, and Jax&Bones who donated waterproof dog pool toys. Plus, celebrity chef Dan Churchill’s frozen blueberry dog popsicles were a hit!
