2012 Independent Spirit Awards

Phoebe Rose, celebrity Pug, was dragging her tail at the end of a long (but fun and goody bag filled) week of Oscar gifting suites- and so she arrived late at the deluxe beach tent location of  The Official Presenter Gift Lounge at The 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards -but still had time to check out the fabulous sponsors including:  Wella Professionals, Tree Hut, New Balance, Emergen-C, Fashion Forms, Votre Vu, Bratz, Bowers & Wilkins, AMC Theatres, Cult of Individuality, Carlos Falchi, The Ritz-Carlton New York, & Crunch.

Jason Isaac (star of Awake) stopped to pose with Phoebe before entering gifting Lounge.

Retro "cigarette girl" was handing out Emergen-C for quick energy boost.

Another canine covering the event-Posey of the Hollywood Reporter.

Special pass needed to visit Piaget tent-we didn't have one-so no entry.

The Jameson cafe was a popular spot for refreshments.

Phoebe is always eager to pose with fans.

And the fans were waiting for Phoebe to exit from the Spirit Awards-applauding and taking photos!

George Clooney isn't the only celeb who gets up close and personal with his fans!
