This event was held on Feb 10, 2012 at the beautiful Hotel Pennsylvania in NY. It was a whirlwind trip, but we got to meet great friends (both new and friends we've known through Facebook).
Sophie had a friend who came with us - Dixie Belle the Volunteer Dog and her mom. This was great as the girls got to play together and the moms mostly drank coffee to try and stay awake!
The show was amazing. Sophie wore a custom dress designed by the uber talented Anthony Rubio of Bandit Rubio Designs for the best dressed competition. People were taking pictures of her all night and she did great with the mask on!
We also had time to go to Macy's and do a little shopping, took pictures in the snow and ate real NY hot dogs from a street vendor.
Looking forward to going back soon! Please see us on Facebook for the full album of pictures

Grain Free Dog Cookie Recipe
For those of you who are interested, here's one of the recipes that I use to make natural, grain free treats for my chihuahuas. This recipe is my own and came about because my youngest Chi is allergic to rice an wheat.
1lb Ground Beef (or any other meat of your choice)
1 cup of peanut butter
3 jars of baby food veggies or fruit
Powdered milk as needed to thicken
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet
I brown the ground beef first. Then add the other ingredients. For this batch I used one jar of strained peas, one jar of pear and one jar of carrot baby food. There's no real science to the powdered milk - you just want a thick cookie dough consistency an I use the powdered milk to thicken. For those of you who don't mind grains you could also use cooked rice or cooked oats instead
Place on a cookie sheet using a small spoon. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. You want a well done cookie
At this point, you can put them in a container and let your babies enjoy. They will keep for 10-14 days. If you'd like for them to last longer you can freeze them or you can put them in a food dehydrator. I dehydrate mine until they are extra crispy. They keep for months after this.
Feel free to play around with this recipe. With the amount of meat and peanut butter you can hide most any fruit or veggie and they won't even taste it
