Gidget Gormley: A Blog About a New Yorkie

Catamount Dog Park Grand Opening and Festivities!

Have you ever wondered if your pet could be a star? Well, now you can find out by coming to the Emerson Resort on May 30 from 3-7!  Cathryn Long, talent agent to the 4 legged divas, will judge a Pet Talent Contest together with Linda Blick of Tails of Hope Foundation and Ted Gibson, celebrity hairstylist.   There will also be a silent auction to benefit Ulster County SPCA AND a special Catamount Dog Park menu at the Catamount Restaurant. All this to celebrate the opening of the new dog park at the Emerson Resort and Spa . Come join Gidget in her special appearance at the dog park in celebration of the opening of the Sex and the City 2 movie that weekend (she has donated some of her film wardrobe to raise money for the SPCA) and enjoy the new “pup grade” amenities at the Emerson!

When:
May 8, 2010
3-8 PM
Gallery show running May 8-16.

Why:
People love their pets and their pets are part of their family.  Maybe their only family.  Hard economic times put people in difficult situations when they are faced with the choice of not being able to feed their pets or giving them up.  Lynn Gitter is graciously donating a major part of her body of artwork in order to raise funds for Friends of Snuffy, a charitable organization which helps to keep pets in their homes by helping provide pet food to those who otherwise could not continue to afford to feed their pets.   The purchaser gets a tax deductible receipt for the preset percentage that goes to Friends of Snuffy, and gets to go home with a beautiful piece of art.  There are paintings of various sizes, sculptures, and necklaces.

Cost:
The event is free and open to the public.  At this gallery exhibition opening event, there will be art, music, refreshments, and other entertainment.

Many thanks to Lynn Gitter, Alexander Turnquist, and our other participating artists, John Eric Byers, Ric Dragon, Zoya Geacintov, Kira Greene, Pat Horner, Jeff Leonard, Sally Rothchild, Anique Taylor as well as all contributors and volunteers for the event.

Gidget gets a new sister….a Trew story

Meet Trew...

She’s 38 lbs of furry love

click here for the “Trew” story

She started out as “Chewy” then “Trudy” and will now be known as “Trew”

and here is the beginning of her story as told by her foster mom Cathy Freitas of H.A.R.T Rescue of UT

“Oh my goodness I love this gal. She is so sweet.

She was a stray that was taken in by some people who decided that they couldn’t keep her.
She is well behaved, and eager to please.

Ginger didn’t like her right away, but Luna LOVES her. She and Luna rampaged around the yard for a couple hours the first night we had her.

I had to give her a bath, as she smelled pretty bad, but I couldn’t brush her mats out. So I did what I could, and let the AMAZING wonderful gals at All Fur Love groomers to do their magic on her today!
Then we took her to the dog park to play while we visited with some good friends (we got to see Kiya too!) and laughed as all the dogs played.
Wow, she sure was having fun!

I’m sure that we won’t have any problem at all finding this special girl a home. She’s gorgeous and sweet… doesn’t get any better than that.”

This is what I first read on Cathy’s Blog that made me fall in love with Trew

I originally found her while combing through petfinder.com over the holidays

Thanks to Lorraine Pak of H.A.R.T rescue of UT Trew will be flying to New York on Pet Airways and will be in her Forever home with Gidget this Friday.

I would also like to thank Namrata Chand of BestFriends.org for assisting with Trew’s travel arrangements.

Gidget and Kim Cattrall in the SATC 2 movie trailer

Our girl made the trailer to the upcoming “Sex and the City 2″ movie!  And check out that cute white hat…word has it that Gidget had to try on a whole mess of those things in order to find just the right fit!

Mad Hatter!

Gidget sizing up for a custom made top hat

So the Sex and the City 2 script calls for a white top hat for Gidget.  Given that our pup lives 2 hours north of the shooting location, fittings have to take place via FedEx.  One day, a slew of paper hats arrive and Gidget has to pose and be photographed with each one so wardrobe can decide which proportion is the best.  Then the same company that makes Jim Henson’s muppets will make a custom snow white silk top hat for Gidget to wear in a scene with Kim Cattrall (and thats all we’re revealing!)
