Out with old.... in with the new!!!!

As the long winter tries to dwindle away, it is time to pack up those doggie turtle necks and boots and unpack the bright colors and nifty little cotton shirts for your dog! Yes…it is that time of year again; time to go shopping for new spring clothes not just for you but for your Pooch too!


Since the weather is BEAUTIFUL it is time to get our dogs out of the house and take them to their favorite hang outs. Going to meet up with their old friends is like going to a high school reunion… they have to be dressed to impress and look their best! So what a better way to look their best than in new spring dog outfit that is sure to make every dog they pass drool.

Your little angel will look FABULOUS in the new spring plaid dog dresses. These are perfect outfits for her to wear out on a beautiful spring day. The dresses come in Blue/green, Pink/Lavender, and Pink/Green.

Sometimes when going out to the park they can get a little dirty, so a cute dress might not be the right option, so why not try one of our new “dog sliders.” They are the perfect piece of jewelry and come in a variety of designs to match the perfect dog outfit or just to wear. If you are planning on a formal occasion such as taking her picture in the bluebonnets or any other beautiful flowers, the Hand Painted Tulips formal doggie dress with puffed sleeves ~ it would be the perfect outfit.

So often we are so worried about putting the little girls in cute puffy doggie dresses, big dog bows, and cute dog shoes, that we forget that our little fellers want to look like a stud too. Their main mission is to impress all the girls, so what a better way to do that than wearing out one of our Springtime Neck Ties. They are a complete collar set with three interchangeable printed neck ties. These are perfect for the little guy who doesn’t want to wear anything fancy, but still look handsome.

While you in the midst of packing up your doggie winter clothes for the year and getting ready to buy new spring ones, don’t forget about your little loved ones, they are ready to show off their legs too!

How much is that Doggy in the window?

At some point in your life, or your kid’s their main Christmas/Birthday request has been a new puppy! I use the same response, "We will see".. but it gets old and they just keep asking. Why not really, a dog is one of the great pleasures of life. If you are considering giving in to your kids and getting a new puppy there are some things to think about before taking the big plunge!!!

• Think about what your family wants and what their needs are. What is your lifestyle? Make sure that when you go to pick out a doggie that you match your family to that particular pup. If your family is laid back and mellow, choose a dog that is low maintenance and doesn’t require hours of brushing, grooming and exercising. If you have a small apt or small house or space, choose a smaller dog. There are many articles about breeds of dogs and which ones are best for your family.

• Make sure your family is aware of changes that will occur when Fido enters the family. There are responsibilities that come with being a pet owner. Set guidelines for the kids and make a list of who feeds him on what day and make it a family chore. Make sure that the kids know that life will no longer be the same for the good and the bad when you own a pet. Who will have Poo Poo pickup? Who will walk the dog? Who will wash the dog?

• The fun begins! Time to go and buy the items that the little pooch will need. If buying a puppy, try great housebreaking items, and you may need a crate if planning to crate train. You will need dog food, treats, bedding and a dog brush to brush him with. Buy your collar (there are some great ones out there) and your leash and please don’t forget clothes! Doggies require fashion too!

A dog is a blessed addition to families~ and kids get many hours of enjoyment and friendship from a pet. Think of adopting a pet from a homeless animal shelter or buying from a rescue group, I think in the long run your family will be so happy to have saved a dog and got a best friend at the same time!
