A little splurge


I found a new little something I want to try out because I'm an animal lover.  Angela at West Virginia Treasures started this adorable meme.  If you'd like to join in, please do!  Go sign up at Angela's site and visit the other animal photos - pets or otherwise.

Sometimes when I read a post about a person's pet I think to myself, 'Give me a break already', but somehow when it's my pet, it's so much more precious - I'm sure you'll agree.  If you're not a dog lover, suppress your gag reflex for just a moment if you will.

It's okay, you can judge me.  I splurged and bought the dog a sweater and matching hat from the cutest Etsy shop - total cost of $20.  Trust me, underneath her disgruntled look is the biggest dog smile you've ever seen - ever!  Whenever we open her shoebox armoire to get her a new ensem, she runs over and wags her tail - seriously.  Another time I'll have to show you the new dresses her Aunt Kim made her for my birthday - yes, my birthday gift was dog dresses.  .  Sometimes a girl just wants to look good!



Her favorite place is right next to the heat vent, not only for the warmth but also for the wind-blown effect.  It works for her! 


Frosty, on the other hand, isn't into dressing up quite so much.

See, this is what happens when your kids aren't little anymore and you need a hobby!

Oh my gosh! That is just too cute! Love Annabelle's sweater dress! I would have so put that on Spunky back then! Hey if she were alive she would be sporting it now! hehehe It is fun to dress them up isn't it! I'm afraid that the girls I have now are too husky for the clothes you see in the stores! lol

Thanks for joining in this week! You did a great job girl!

Aww, she's so cute, lol..my little ChiChi won't leave her sweaters on for more than 2 minutes, just long enough for her to chew them off...I'm serious, she will not wear clothes or collars. We had to have her ear tattoo, because every collar we put on her she chewed off in a matter of minutes.
Thanks for sharing
Molly

This is too funny! Yes it's fun to dress them up isn't it, but they will surely let you know if they aren't having it with the whole clothes thing. Mine does. Love the picture of Frosty, a dog after my own heart!

Hi! I just came over from Angela's to check out your Show & Tail, and it is adorable. Your writing style is great... so interesting, and I LOVE that outfit!!! It is so beautiful and cute, and warm looking! I'd LOVE to get the pattern for that. Most of our corgis have got the heavy coats that keep them pretty warm, but our Chorgis (Chihuahua/corgi) sometimes need some help when the temps really drop.

Our fur-friends are very special to those of us that have them and their love! Linda

LOLOLOL, that hat & sweater combo is HILARIOUS!!

Janice said...

I used to be a strictly 'dogs are dogs, you don't put clothes on them' type of gal. But when my friend got her West Highland Terrier, I found myself knitting a little coat for him so he didn't get cold sitting in the car waiting for her when we went shopping lol! Then I knitted another one. Your pics are so funny, not sure about the hat though, I think that might be a step too far!

OMG!!!!! Not only a dog sweater, but a hat too?????????? LMAO!!!! You are such a good doggie mommy!
