It was the first ever Dog Day at the Queen Anne Farmer’s Market this week.  Not every market allows people to bring their pups but as director Julie Whitehorn summed it up, “Queen Anne loves its dogs.”  No questions asked.  From the looks of things, the four-legged friends didn’t mind a bit. 
 
This little doggie went to market.

So did this one named Roxie.

Who knew cats aren’t the only ones who like fish?  Lorene from Two If By Sea Foods handed out pink salmon for a treat.  There were also special biscuits made by Dog Mountain Farm and pooch pics from Chris and Emi’s Photography.  The Seattle Humane Society’s Maxmobile was there to adopt out pets, too.

At the end of the evening, pet boutique Mes Amis chose a king and queen canine and awarded prizes.  He’s a little camera shy but 11-month-old, “100%-mutt” Django was crowned king of the pack.

She may not be an actual cougar, but Django’s queen IS a 9 1/2-year-old boxer named Maddie. 

Next week is Wellness Week at the market.  Check their website for updates.
