Mark your calendars for February 16th! Rosie's Dog Beach in Long Beach will host the 20th annual Haute Dog Valentine's Day Celebration, a day filled with fun and festivities for dogs and their humans. English Bulldogs may be the stars of the show, but there are plenty of contests open to all dogs, including Best Senior Dog, Best Small Dog, and Best Siblings. Spectators are welcome to enjoy the festivities and admire the canine contestants strutting along the red carpet.
Twelve dog contests, including lighthearted competitions for non- Bulldog pooches, are on the schedule. $10 advance registration per dog; $20 starting on the weekend of the event; all contests are covered by the fee. 'Best Chomper of Meaty Snacks' is a trophy you would give your pooch if you could, and 'Cuddliest Napper on the Couch' is always worthy of a ribbon.
The Greatest Dinner Dance, Sniffiest Walk, and Most Deserving of Belly Rubs: Our beloved animals could easily accrue accolades from sunrise to bedtime, and give them freely, we always do. But there are a few Fido-centered celebrations that award pups for a variety of cute/adorable/precious attributes and abilities, including the sweet showdown that always trots into our worlds around Valentine's Weekend. That's February 16, and, for sure, it will be a big, boisterous, and Bulldoggy day: It's the 20th anniversary of the Bulldog-inspired bash, which is helmed by pup supporter Justin Rudd and the crew behind the Haute Dog parades. Want to find new things to do in Los Angeles? The Scene's lifestyle stories have you covered. Here's your go-to source on where the fun is across SoCal and for the weekend. The Granada Boat Launch at Rosie's Dog Beach is the place, and while English Bulldogs are the belles of this ball, there are a dozen contests, with the bulk open to non-Bulldog dogs. Those include Best Senior Dog, Best Small Dog, and Best Siblings, which covers canines from the same household. 'Costumes are optional, and not encouraged,' states the contest team. Rather, humans are encouraged to let their dogs' natural effervescence, spunk, and charisma shine. And this is sweet: All contests are covered by that entry fee, if you'd like to enter your icon-in-the-making in more than one competition. Also sweet? Spectating is free, if you'd like to come by the beach area and admire a cavalcade of canines strutting along the red carpet, a feature that is always rolled out for these four-footed superstars

Gooding spent tens of thousands of dollars and countless hours maintaining the garden over the past nine years.
