One of the tastiest refreshments people have been carrying out of Starbucks lately is a book with a deep-blue jacket and the profile of a yellow, smooth-coated dog. That's because the coffee giant decided to sell The Art of Racing in the Rain by Seattle author Garth Stein in more than 7,000 stores.

The goods inside Bossi & Ich Ky are in stark anachronistic contrast

fashion-conscious Seattle
women are familiar with Pioneer
Square boutique Violette,
but they may not know that owner and clothing designer Beth Nielsen also sells
environmentally conscious apparel online, at her Web-based shop, Eko Chic. Currently, the Web
site both sells Nielsen's own vintage-inspired designs and showcases other eco-friendly, independent designers.

My dogs
have artistic temperaments -- that's how I explain their free spirits. A muse
or a drummer only they can see and hear inspires responses not strictly in the
program. So a First Thursday Art Walk in Pioneer Square featuring an
exhibit of dog-centered
art and photography in a dog-friendly space sounds like the perfect
opportunity to demonstrate their aesthetic sensitivity and to put to bed the
rumor that they are simply poorly trained.

I know it's late notice but rearranging your schedule to get your laugh on and support off-leash parks in Seattle seems worth a little last-minute schedule wrangling. Tonight (Feb. 19), skip the Boston Legal rerun for a couple hours of live comedy that puts needed cash in the kitty for Citizens for Off-Leash Areas (COLA).
