Join Barkley Square, Karing by Kristina, Askmissa.com, Fido Journalism, Chios Grooming and the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria for Diamonds in the Ruff.

Join us Thursday June 4th from 6-9pm on the Barkley Square Patio located at 2006 Mt. Vernon Ave in Alexandria.

This event is being held in conjunction with Del Ray, Alexandria’s First Thursday. First Thursday is a monthly event where all of the businesses along Mt Vernon Ave participate in one central theme and keep their doors open until 9pm. The theme for June is Dog Days of Del Ray.

We will be holding an adoption event featuring the “Diamonds in the Ruff” participants. Several dogs will be selected from AWLA for an adopt me makeover.

We will also be hosting our weekly Happy Yappy Hour at this time complete with a Bark Bar full of yummy dog treats.

Don’t forget to stop by cheesetique to grab some cheese and bread before heading our way to grab a bottle of wine at Planet wine! For dessert head over to ACKC for their amazing chocolates!

If you haven’t been to Del Ray come see us “Where Main Street Still Exists.”

If you were not able to sign up for Tidy Tuesday this past week, I strongly urge you to sign up soon. For those of you who have not heard, Karing by Kristina has partnered with Chios Pet Grooming for Tidy Tuesdays. Every Tuesday from 9-5 Chios will be parked in front of Barkley Square to provide grooming services!

My Maltese, Lacy was long over due for a haircut. She is a bit of a tomboy, so I like to keep her hair short. Lacy is also a bit of, well, lets just say a challenge. She tends to think that the groomers of the world are out to get her and she likes to defend herself. From the moment Nery, the professional groomer, came to get her she seemed more at ease than ever before. I was suprised as I handed her off that she didn’t even growl at him.

When Lacy returned I was amazed at how white her fur was. Her cut was perfect and she smells delicious! Check out the photos below and be sure to sign up for Tidy Tuesday ASAP. Now that the secret is out, spots will fill up fast.

Call 703-329-1043 to schedule your next appointment!
