Dress Up Your Pet Day: Share Your Furry Photos

Houndstooth on your hound? Rain slicker on your rat terrier? Share your favorite snap of your pet dressed up for National Dress Your Pet Day.

There's hardly a self-respecting Eastside pet without at least one cute outfit in his or her wardrobe, but did you know there's an actual day to celebrate the clothes we put our pets in?

It's today, actually, Jan. 14.

According to the National Dress Up Your Pet Day website, National Dress Up Your Pet Day was founded in 2009 by Celebrity Pet Lifestyle Expert and Animal Behaviorist, Colleen Paige , and sponsored by the Animal Miracle Network as a fun way to celebrate our beloved pets and to support the pet fashion community.

Check out dressed up pets at Rogue Ales Frogs and Dogs Day from last summer, Howl-o-Ween in Redmond, and share pictures of your cutest or most practical pet getup.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
