Did anyone else believe that the famous Bella Starlet,
owned and managed by Beth Knutsen was only turning 2 years old!
Bella Starlet's Totally Pawsome
'80s Birthday Pawty was held on Sunday, January 13, at Animal Haven Soho.
There was quite a crowd, including Bella Starlet's siblings Riff and Oscar. Cake (with a Rubik's Cube
on top--so 80s) was by Cleo's Barkery.
Guests included famous gambler, Jilli Dog, who sported a very
cute leather getup--in the same style that Casey Jane wore as part of her dominatrix Halloween costume. (While Casey
J's (a full-figured Westie) was a size XXXL, Jilli Dog's was size 0000.)
The Kibble n Bark brat pack was well
represented and included Erika Searl, leader of that pack. Other well-known doggy world guests included Grace
(Portia), Fern (Britty), Hillary (Yogi), Jill (Lucky Brooklyn Giuliani), Lourdes (Tuffy &
Munchie), Zahra (Sigmund Freud), Cloe (Chi), Tasasha (Yorkies), Felicia (Tommi T) and many, many
others.
It was a great party!
Photos: Most taken by Lourdes.
"Tommi T. really had a great time. Our host served two of his favorites: Pizza and tasty doggie cake. The 80's theme took
me back. What could be better!
Felicia and Tommi T."
"A fun time had by all! My thanks to Beth and our own Bella Starlet!!" Lourdes
"Very nice party. WE had lots of fun!" Fern
"It was so fun for me and Portia! Thanfks Beth and Bella Starlet! And Chloe the tiny chi, of Carla and Chloe, won the prize
for best dressed...she looked so cute, and so did Carla, hehe!" Grace
The Gala of the Century...Fun!!!

From Suzi & Coail:
Hi,
Thanks for having us at the party.
From Diane & Elliott Podolsky:
Dear Beth,
Glad you like the certificate.
Dear
Beth,
Thank
you so much for including me in Bella’s party. Julie and I really had fun and, while it was a bit overwhelming
for Pee Wee, it was a great chance for him to experience a lot of new things. Elliott was confused about why dogs would want
to go swimming in the winter, but he feels that way in the summer, too! How clever to have a professional groomer in
attendance…she very generously dried Elliott’s legs for me before we left.
Hope
to see you again soon,
Diane
Podolsky, CTC
From Ada @ Pupcake Studio:
thank you!
and our best wishes to Bella!!! may her dreams come true!
Cats are okay and all, but this is why I love dogs. Yep. Costuming ability, which is key in a good pet. No, but really.
Bella's cute little dog face is killing me. Posted 7 days ago. ( permalink )
I saw the 'partyhat' tag and starting thinking of the Dr Seuss book where all the different colored dogs eventually make
it to the big party tree (hats involved)..."this is cute" reference to Bella's french braids. Posted
7 days ago. ( permalink )
That's it. I was just too lazy to get up and look for it before... Posted 7 days ago. ( permalink )
The Universal Allure of Cake
Over the weekend it was Bella's birthday, celebrated by Beth at The Dog Run in Chelsea.
The Dog Run is a dog spa and exercise joint, with a doggie
pool and a wet-suited trainer who holds the dogs in the water while they paddle, sometimes desperately, for the sides.
Bella's
birthday cake is some sort of confection of cream cheese, chicken, and doggie treats. It drives the dogs wild. Here Beth is
about to help Bella blow out her candles.
"January 14, 2007, We are proud to be a part of the NY Save charity which is held by Beth Joy Knutsen in celebration
of her baby Bella's Birthday. We will giving away the entire Marilyn Monroe Collection to one lucky winner for one of
the best causes on earth. Our fellow animals...Beth is hoping to raise as much funds as possible for this cause.
This will be a star studded event as usual and much pupparazzi will be attending. Private invitation only. For
further information please contact us. We love and need all the support and help we can get!!!"
Merci Beaucoup to all of our friends and family
that attended Bella Starlet Dog's Barkday Pawty on Sunday...she is wearing her new outfits, playing with her new toys, wearing
her bows and of course sharing her treats with Oscar & Riff!
We are happy to say that $100 was raised for
NYSAVE, and the check was sent to them, and they are very appreciative.
We want to thank for the gift bag donations
and raffle prizes: Brad at Street Treats, Diane at New York Tails, Maria at City Pet Guide, Restful Paws, Heather at Pink
Hot Dog, Donna at Heidi's Doggie Treasures, Christy at Beyond Bookmarks, and Cheryl for the gorgeous watch. Congrats to our
winners! Thanks also to Cleo's Barkery for baking our Bella taxicab cake.
The photos will be up by next week...stay tuned!
We love NYC:)
...some quotes from our guests...

My dog had such a good time, he's still taking a nap right now. The minute we got home he ate dinner and has been
sleeping since.
Thank you sooo much for inviting us. Reger couldn't get enough of the Bella's B-day cake(he had his, seconds he
found on the floor and thirds he stole from another dog).
I hope Bella liked the gift basket Reger put together.
Thanks again,
Carla and Reger :)
