Dave is at the Astoria Market (www. astoriamarket.com) in the Main Hall of the Bohemian Beer Garden, 29-19 24th Avenue on December 14th and 21st. The Brass Owl (www.thebrassowl.com), a new boutique at 36-19 Ditmars Boulevard, has some snazzy dog collars priced at $20. $1 of every purchase goes to Best Friends Animal Society for dog rescue. Hop on over to the Jumping Bulldog (www.jumpingbulldog.com) at 28-10 23rd Avenue, to browse through a multitude of treasures for your little tailwagger. My favorites are the velour Santa hoodie for $24.99, the Christmas harness for $29.99, and the organic reindeer toy for $14.99. As you shop, your dog can get spruced up for the holidays, since the store is a fullservice groomer. They recently added doggie daycare and boarding to their services, as well. In the Broadway area, gift shop Lo ckwod (www.lockwoodshop. com) at 32-15 33rd Street, has some unique items. Brooklyn-based company Found My Animal designed leashes from nautical grade rope priced at $58.95-$68.95 that can be worn cross-body, i.e. “hands free.” They also make waxed canvas collapsible water dishes for $39.95, with a clip that can be attached to your dog (or you). Part of the company’s proceeds go toward animal adoption. Don’t forget the canvas “Woof ” water bottle shaped like a flask for $21.95, with a pop-top or twist-off cap for easy pouring. No shopping spree is complete without a visit to Wespaw Pets (www.wespawpets.com) at 44-05 Queens Boulevard, a true gem in Sunnyside. The store is featuring holiday gift baskets ranging from $25-$40 filled with organic dog treats, toys, and other goodies. An added bonus, owner Sam is a veterinary pharmacist and can assist you with all of your pet’s dietary and health needs. And you might just walk out with an additional companion since Sam regularly sponsors pet adoptions. This holiday season, there’s no need to leave Queens. You can find everything for your fur baby right here in the borough, and contribute to some worthy animal causes in the process. Happy shopping and happy holidays to my fellow dog lovers!
