WAMG At The MARLEY & ME: THE PUPPY YEARS Premiere

PUPPY PARTY!

No, really! In celebration of the August 16th release (at Walmart and on Walmart.com) of MARLEY & ME: THE PUPPY YEARS, they had a celebration that, for lack of a better term (and because I am corny!), went to the dogs! (And one cat that was on a leash…Um… yep!)

Saturday, at The Grove in Los Angeles, hundreds of Canine Americans and their humans got together for a fun filled day of activities, treats, and play! These pups had an active day that consisted of:

• The Ultimate Puppy Championship – Testing Your Dog’s Agility on the Special Course Presented by Zoom Room
• Shelter Dog Fashion & Runway Show Featuring the Summer & Fall Lines from Ruff Ruff Couture
• Marley Photo Booth – Get Your Picture Taken with the Adorable Little Star
• Booths promoting pet adoption from spcaLA, LA Animal Services and Best Friends
• Doggie Spaw and Relaxation Area with Free Nail Painting and Massages for Your Animal
• Doggie Treat and Dining Area
• “Stupid Dog Tricks” Contest
• VIP Gift Bag Raffles Presented by Stella & Chewy’s Treats and Three Dog Bakery

This one really had me cracking up!!! Man gets lick-attacked by boxer puppy!

The SPCALA was there with adorable babies as well! These poodle mixes are up for adoption… including Snickers, the adorable poodle mix at the bottom. He stole my heart (but I already have two fur children). If you are interested in Snickers, click HERE.

And, for the final event of the day… a red carpet event where the four legged stars, as well as their two legged co-stars, walked the red carpet before screening the movie outside. This, by far, was the most adorable red carpet that I have ever covered!!!

And now… I am about to melt your heart!

Director Michael Damian, wife/co-writer Janeen Damien, and cast members Travis Turner and Lauren Lavoie joined the pups on the red carpet before the films premiere.

I took this one with my phone because I didn’t want to blind Michael Damian with my camera flash.

*That, and my mom needed a picture of Danny Romalotti from The Young And The Restless. (My family has been fans of that show for generations!)

Travis Turner took the time out to speak with young fans. It was really refreshing to see. He is such a nice guy!

And finally, an outdoor screening of the film. It was a fun filled day!
