Nov 06 19 2006 1:00 PM	IGGY Ambassadors Social & Shopping Party at Savvy Dog Boutique 15 attended (est.) – 5.003 Get in the holiday spirit at this pre-season IGGY Ambassadors shopping party! Savvy Dog Boutique was opened only a couple of months ago by Ambassadors Michelle and her husband and other family members. We've missed Michelle and her 4-pack of iggies since they have been so busy with the store and other jobs. So let's take the meetup to them! * UPDATE * Kay from Viewfinder Photography will be there. You can choose if you wish for a "holiday theme" background. Photo packages and pricing vary, please inquire at the event. Refreshments and shopping with other IG owners and their iggies. Please note: this is an "on leash" event. 1 - 3 PM Savvy Dog Boutique: (253) 566-9663 UPDATE ON 11/13/06 There will be a canopy setup outdoors for socializing (so we don't clog up the store). Please bring a folding chair if you would like to sit and chat. Sorry to have to be a playground monitor but BE SURE TO POTTY YOUR DOG OUTDOORS PRIOR TO ENTERING THE STORE. Even my well-behaved dog has been tempted in the past to mark where others have gone before her inside a store. If you use a Flexi-leash lock it at about 4 feet long and keep your dog close to you at all times. Please pay attention to your dog and how it acts on a leash around a lot of people and other dogs. Please pick up your dog if it starts to act stressed, cranky, or obnoxious. Thanks for helping make a great meetup!	Only members of this Group can view the location for this Meetup	18 Yes 0 Maybe
