Pack Your Bags!!!

ARFDog makes taking your dog along for an adventure overnight so easy…and SO much fun! They have designed and packed the perfect getaway suitcase.

They found the perfect bowl for dining in, or al fresco; the tastiest and most portable treats to nibble; plush toys to show just what a world traveler you are, and the comfiest monogrammed bathrobe for after bath, or just for lounging around.

Added to these, they provide a wonderful throw to snuggle in. It can be the cover for a bed, a cozy chair, or even the floor. Anywhere it is placed; your dog will love lying on it. It’s even washable, in case you are sleeping in the great outdoors!

The suitcase itself is re-usable luggage that will come in handy any time the road beckons…or even if you’re just going to visit Aunt Sally.

You’ll be relieved to know that this Suitcase won’t encourage any dog to run away … they’ll just always be ready to get away!

Mama's Got A Brand New Bag...

We haven't been shopping in a while so I thought I'd venture out into the virtual world to see what's new out there.....

Louis Vuitton has a new dog carrier. The Baxter. It comes in two sizes and features a washable rug, roll up side so your pooch can check out the view and a side pocket for carrying the matching leash and collar........ of course.

This new bag will set you back $1,410 or $1,570 and will accommodate a dog up to 20 lbs.

Now I've Seen It All......

So there's this store here that sells cupcakes. Nothing but cupcakes. All day long. There is always a line waaaaaay down the block. They have 20 flavors and each precious cupcake costs $3.25 or $36 for a dozen. That's a lot of dough for a cupcake! HA!

They have been featured on tons of tv shows including, the end all-be all - Oprah. I've tried Sprinkles cupcakes. Ehhhh. They're ok. I don't get all the fuss. I'm all about a bargain. I'd rather go to Ralphs and get a dozen cupcakes in a plastic container for $7.99 myself. I love that sugary cupcake icing. YUM! And I'd certainly never wait in that big long line just for a dang cupcake.

Well, Sprinkles couldn't leave well enough alone. Whoever does their marketing is pretty smart. Not only have they started selling their cupcake mix at $14 a pop they now make a cupcake for dogs! At least the dogs get a break. Their cupcake cost $2.50 and is made with unbleached flour, eggs, honey and vanilla. The 'frosting' is made with carob or yogurt.

So now at least you can take your pooch with you to wait in that dreadful line and you both get a reward in the end. Don't forget to bring your $6.

The French Connection

Dog Perignon

I found the funniest dog toy at Target. It's a bottle of Dog Perignon champagne! I bought one for Edie and I couldn't resist buying one for Percy and Agnes since their mom and dad love to celebrate "Champagne Sunday" whenever they can. Now their doggies can celebrate too!

Little Edie can hardly carry hers. It's almost as big as she is. She grabs the top and drags it across the floor!

How Will Your Dog Vote??

Now your dog can get political too. Let your pooch show his or her support by wearing one of these cute rhinestone studded Republican or Democratic tees. They come in grey or pink and will set you back about $36.

Home Alone?

What do your pets do when they are home alone? Haven't you always wondered? Either they sleep or they get into trouble. I've always wanted to set up a secret spy cam just to see. A while back I got a great gift. A DVD for cats. Jake and Audrey loved it. It has birds and rats and other cats and all these fun sites and loud sounds. They would sit mesmerized on the end of the bed watching it. Audrey finally figured out it wasn't real but Jake still sits in a trance.

Here's a preview of one that someone put on You Tube....

The Pet Sitter DVDs and videos are available for cats, dogs and even for birds. Hours of fun.....

Time to go Night Night...

Hasn't it been freezing at night? I keep layering on the blankets but can't seem to keep warm enough. And my feet are always freezing! Little Edie has been burrowing under the covers for warmth too. The other day I saw Ginger in the cutest little pair of doggie pajamas. Eureka! That's what Little Edie needs. So, I've been on the hunt for a cute and cozy pair for her. Myself, I saw a onesie with the feet built in for teens at Target and am contemplating whether I can fit into it. It looks like the yummiest, coziest thing ever. Here are some ideas if your little one needs some winter loungewear too.....

Glamour Shot

The other night I was at a holiday party and saw Karen's friend Rachelle. We started talking about this blog and she told me all about her Basset Hound, Mojo. I told her she must submit a picture and story and make Mojo a regular here.

I showed her the picture of Little Edie that is the screen saver on my phone. Then she whipped out her wallet and pulled out a photo of Mojo. Not before she admitted, however, that Mojo had posed for this "glamour shot". You've seen these, right? Where you go to the mall and you get all decked out like a glamazon and then you pose like supermodel? Well, Mojo's pic was totally fabulous but he was not all decked out.

Then I saw these wigs and I thought how fun it would be to really dress your little one up in true "glamour shot" fashion..... Check out the Little Edie lookalike with the 'amber' wig. I'm ready for my close-up!

I'm Leavin' on a Jet Plane.....

Venetian Terrier

While visiting Venice a couple of years ago, Karen and I stopped for a fun tour through the Murano glass factory. Did you know that they can make just about anything out of Murano glass? Imagine our surprise when we came across this Murano Yorkie! Price tag......about $10,000! That's one pricey and delicate little pup!

Chewy Vuitton

What to get the dog that has everything??? Same thing you get the girl who has everything!! You can never go wrong with a gift from Louis.....I mean Chewy....Vuitton.

Breakfast at Sniffanys.....

Riding in Style.....

Cooper's mommy Karen turned me on to this great doggie car seat. I bought one for Edie and she just loves it! It even doubles as a bed if you want to use it in the house.

It's the perfect booster seat for small dogs so they can sit up high in your car and look out the window. Edie always rests her chin on the edge as she watches the world go by! It has a slot that you slip your seat belt through so it stays secure and there is a strap that you can attach to your dog's collar or harness to keep them in place.

It's made of comfortable foam with a lambs wool interior and a nylon quilt exterior that is secured with elastic so you can remove it and wash it when it gets dirty! You can order it in all different kinds of colors and patterns and you can even have it monogrammed! Totally genious!

Edie got the black one and her model has a drawer underneath (like the one pictured) where we can keep some treats, extra baggies and toys! She also has an optional rack that secures to the front that has a food and water bowl for long journeys!
