Doggin' It In Allentown
Back in May... of '07, I wrote a post regarding a dog-friendly business moving into Allentown. The location was to be at the June 2 Modeling Agency building. It appears that after more than a year's time, the Allentown Dog Center plan is moving forward. Actually, the signs on the building state that the business is scheduled to host an open house this weekend (June 21st). A quote from last year's post:
"We will be bringing a dog-friendly business to Allentown. It will be a place where owners can come to socialize their dogs. We will most likely offer doggy daycare, walking services, bathing and grooming, pet parties,... and down the road we will be looking into boarding as well as carrying accessories and food. There are a lot of dogs in Buffalo, and we feel that the city should be as dog-friendly as possible."
A BRO reader has the details: The Grand Opening will take place from 10a-5p. The facility will offer dog daycare, bathing/grooming, boarding, obedience, pick up/drop off, and pet sitting/homecare. The address is 2 Irving Place, 14201 (corner of Irving & Allen); telephone is 716.689-8884.

Tru-Teas Celebrates The Publication Of "Tea Leaves"
It’s really a shame if you missed the reading series “Poetry at the Tea House” that took place at Tru-Teas! during this past year.

Give the people what they want.
I think that I would like to start off this post by commending the three Common Council members who were bold enough to ask for today's bizarre Waterfront Village decision to be tabled. David Franczyk, Mickey Kearns and Mike LoCurto all stuck to their guns when it came to holding off on making any hasty (and potentially tragic) decisions regarding our waterfront. Unfortunately, their headstrong stance was outweighed by the rest of the BURA committee, and the rumors are flying as t … - Yesterday, 7:52pm

I wish the new owners the best. Have to say though, I have been sending my pups to Pawprints on Allen Street near Nietzsches since last October, and cannot say enough positive things about it and it's owner, Penny.
I have tried a number of places since Dog Days of Buffalo closed, and Pawprints is by far the VERY best. My dosgs are EXTREMELY well cared for by Penny and her staff, and just as important.....they are loved there too !! My pups LOVE it there and cannot wait to go.
I'm grateful to Penny that when Mom is working, her babies are so wonderfully looked after.

It rather does feel like Buffalo is going to the dogs. This location will be the second doggy day care on Allen between Wadsworth and Delaware and I see that the former flower shop next to Maureen's on Ellicott is also becoming a doggy day care. It all suggests that there is some pent up demand for doggy day care in Buffalo.
