Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year!

Happy Hanukkah!

It's Not Too Late To Get Your Dog In On The Ugly Christmas Sweater Trend.

With a little help from Sew DoggyStyle you can have your dog dressed in no time.  

Using a repurpsed vest and every day items from the craft store, you can have this project completed in an afternoon.  Quick and easy just the way I like it!

Dreaming of The Pink Poodle Gourmet Cookies . . .

and I am sure that I am not the only one.  The first time that I spied these cookies was at the Reliant Park World Series of Dog Shows in Houston, Texas. And I knew that they were something special.

Pickles was traveling with me, so I had to buy some for her right away.  And she loved them.  Boy how she loved them.  As soon as we got home I placed an order with The Pink Poodle Gourmet & Designs.  And I can tell you that I was not disappointed.  Nor was Pickles. Or our clients dogs.

Laura, the owner is caterer and her passion for creating wonderful dog treats comes through.  

When ordering all I can say is order a bit of everything.  Some of the favorites around here have been the Doggone Donuts, Peanut Butter Bonewiches and the Peanut Butter Biscotti.  And I better not forget the Peanut Butter Bon Bons. 

I guess there is some kind of theme going on here.  My guys love cookies, frosting and Peanut Butter.  Though not necessarily in that order. Probably any order and preferably together.  I am quite sure that they would love to see a box of cookies from The Pink Poodle Gourmet & Designs this holiday season. And that your dogs would too!

 

When It Comes To Christmas Or Any Time Of Year . . .

They Are Recycled, Vintage and Cute To Boot!

Love these one of a kind tees from BentleyB.  If you are looking for something as unique as your dog,  than I think that this is it. 

One of the things I hate most about shopping for dog clothes is that most of them are stiff and just a little too cute.  Not at all like my dogs personalities.  I mean, my dogs are sweet, but they are not sacchariney sweet.  

At BentleyB's that is not the case. Since the tees are vintage, each one is broken in and unique.   You will find something for your dog(s) that fits their personality and style. You will be able to please the retro dog, rocker dog, sports dog, movie loving dog  and the fashion forward hound.  

 

 

For The Cost Of A Stamp You Could Donate $3 To Spay/Neuter Low Income Pets In Georgia. I Can't Think Of A Better Christmas Gift Than That.

Thanks to Scoops Ricardo Wilson for this brillant idea.  For every card that he gets, his Dad donates $1 to the Spay/Neuter Coalition of Georgia.  And it gets even better if you are Scoops friend on Facebook, his Dad donates $3.  That is a great return on your investment.

And since Scoops likes presents if you send one to him, his Dad will donate $10.  More if you are a Facebook Friend.  And Scoops is a really good friend to have. 

For all the details on Scoops' Christmas Campaign 2011 visit the FAQS page.  A few days ago the Campaign Meter was at $215.  Scoops goal for this year is $2,000.  Let's help him make it!

Jolly Holly, Merry Mistletoe and Pretty Poinsettia . . .

for Christmas, but not for your pets.

1.  Poinsettia - Beautiful, yes.  Usually not deadly. Sap can act as an irritant and the plant itself can cause vomiting.

2.  Mistletoe - Deadliness depends on the amount of berries that were eaten. Usually GI upset and all that goes along with it, but extreme cases can result in shock.

3.  Holly - Small amount of berries, probably ok.  But not always depends on the amount eaten. Causes vomiting and diarrhea that can lead to an electrolyte imbalance.

All of these plants have the potential to be hazardous, so don't take a chance and make sure that they are out of your pets reach.  For detailed information go to this article on Toxic Christmas Plants.  

Or if you are like me and have dogs that find a way into everything, go with plastic instead!  

This Dog Mom Has Got To Learn To Sew!

If this is not a good reason to, I am not sure what is.  I am a girl on a budget and more importantly a girl with dogs on a budget.  So everything is going a little bit further than it used to.  Including my 11 year old car.

Since I take the dogs in the car.  Mostly in a crate and sometimes in a seat belt, the seats in my car have had a lot of wear and tear.  And somehow the seat covers that you can buy, well just never seem cute enough.  And yes, I am still girl enough to want cute.

However then I was cruising the blogosphere and came across this wonderful idea Cherry Hill Cottage.  No one but Tina and her friends would think of something as great as this, slip covers for your car seats. The front is a cute fabric and the back is burlap. Cute, functional and dog friendly. I could work with that.

The car seat slip covers were made by Rebekah.  She can be contacted [email protected].

Need A Good Dog Bed?

Then head on over to Good Dog Beds.  Because I think that their beds are better than good, I think that they are great! And more importantly, so does Pickles.

Having dogs, means having beds.  And while buying a dog bed may be easy, getting your dog to sleep on it, have it look good in the house and being able to wash it easily are not that easy.  

Our bed by Good Dog Beds does all of that and is still looking good after 2 years, 3 dogs, multiple washings and a cross country move.
