Fine "ARF" Seen Here!




We've been enjoying the new art trickling into the shop produced by Ronni Harris, who is a local artist in Astoria. Ronni has been showcasing her work at LaDeDog! and featured during the Second Saturdays, where she has done demonstrations of her original portrait quilting. Her dog-themed paintings, fence puppies, and personalized portraits have no limit to their originality and charm.

She has produced everything from beautiful beach scenes, to intimate close-ups of our best friends. Ronni is capable of capturing the intricate detail of a smile, a beauty mark, the familiar tilt of the head and the glimmer in their eyes... truly an amazing talent & we are truly blessed to have her as a part of our shop family.
Ronni is also a local favorite at the Astoria Sunday Market, where her wide array of her paintings can be found. Her craft ranges from iconic scenes to family home portraiture & there is no limit to her imagination.

Check out the walls of LaDeDog! the next time you're in & if you're looking for that special gift for someone who cherishes their dog or for your very own home, we will be happy to take a complimentary photograph for Ronni to interpret into a one of a kind work of art... or what we would coin as 'Arf' in the world of LaDeDog.

Second Saturday Success



Second Saturday is an ongoing event in Astoria, promoting local Galleries and individual artists.


We kicked off the first of many "Yappy Hour" at LaDeDog! Many guests enjoyed popping in to see all the new things going on in our store and sipped a cocktail with us while on their downtown stroll.


Although we aren't specific to the arts, you can find a nice array of local art in our store. We are currently featuring the art of Ronni Harris, who creates these beautiful portraits and makes them entirely unique by adding a quilted element to them.

Ronni can paint your best friend's portrait from a simple photograph and create a lasting memory for years to come. The framed piece explodes with color and depth.

You can make an appointment to have one made of your beloved friend by calling (503) 325-837, or come check them out in person all winter at LaDeDog!

Remember us on the next Second Saturday event - we will always be a part of the action, remaining open until 9pm to give you another exciting venue of your evening promenade.
