Ready For Halloween Thanks to Doggie Couture Shop

Drum roll please. . . . .Maggie and Abbie are going as Alice and the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland.  The girls costumes are from Doggie Couture Shop.  It wasn’t an easy task to decide which costumes to get the girls being the Doggie Couture Shop has over 230 costumes to pick from.  I couldn’t be happier with Maggie and Abbie’s costumes.

Alice and the Queen of Hearts aka Maggie and Abbie

Maggie’s Alice costume is more beautiful in person.  The dress is a rich blue with a white apron like Alice wears in Alice in Wonderland.  The fabrics used have a rich texture and sheen.  The lace detail on the skirt and sleeves is fun and flirty.  To top it off, the Alice costume also comes with Alice’s signature big black bow.  This is the perfect Alice in Wonderland costume!  I decided to make Maggie Alice as she has an adventurous and curious personality.

My Little Alice

Deciding to dress Abbie as the Queen of Hearts wasn’t too difficult since I had decided that Maggie would make a good Alice.  Abbie has the perfect little diva personality to fit the Queen of Hearts costume.  Again this costume like Maggie’s has all the perfect elements for the Queen of Hearts.  The fabrics of the Queen of Hearts costume are so fun and gorgeous.  They are fabrics fit for a queen.  The dual skirt and lace trim are adorable.  The hearts on the back and big red bow catch your eye.  My favorite part of Abbie’s Queen of Hearts costume is the collar which pops up.  The little crown is the finishing touch, even if Abbie wasn’t a fan of it.

Abbie, the Queen of Hearts

If you haven’t bought your pup’s Halloween costumes, now is the time to do so with only 27 days till Halloween!  I would recommend purchasing from Doggie Couture Shop for great selection, fabulous customer service and quick shipping!  Don’t delay as picking out the costume is the hardest part.

Cozy Snuggle Sack From Doggie Couture Shop

I promised my fiancé that I would not buy Maggie and Abbie anymore doggie beds as our place is literally littered with them.  I didn’t break that promise with my latest find for Maggie and Abbie as it is called the Cozy Snuggle Sack by Bijou Dog.  I was browsing on of our favorite website Doggie Couture Shop when I saw the Cozy Snuggle Sack and knew it was a must have for Maggie and Abbie.  It is so hard to be good when Doggie Couture Shop is constantly adding new inventory to it’s website.

The Cozy Snuggle Sack is as cute and cuddly in person as it looks on Doggie Couture Shop’s website.  First off, I absolutely love the colors of the Cozy Snuggle Sack.  The deep charcoal gray and beautiful Tiffany blue are a perfect combination.  Every girl and pup has to love Tiffany blue.  It is definitely one of our favorite colors.  The bow detail and small heart pillow are adorable and the perfect finishing touches.  The fabric that the Cozy Snuggle Sack is made out of is a super soft, ultra cuddly fleece.  Maggie and Abbie love the snuggly fleece.  In fact, as soon as I took the Cozy Snuggle Sack out of the box and placed it one the floor, Maggie hopped right in it and didn’t want to get out.  It was such a cute sight.

Maggie stayed in the Cozy Snuggle Sack until she realized that the heart pillow had a squeaker in it.  Then, Maggie took off squeaking the little heart pillow.  In the meanwhile, Abbie made herself right at home in the Cozy Snuggle Sack.  She didn’t want to get out either.  Maggie and Abbie are in love with their Cozy Snuggle Sack.  I might have to order a second one, so they can each have their own although they don’t seem to mind sharing it too much.  Maggie and Abbie give the Cozy Snuggle Sack their seal of approval!  The Cozy Snuggle Sack available at Doggie Couture Shop would make a fabulous Christmas gift!

Perfect Bowls from Doggie Couture Shop

We have found the perfect bowls for toy breed pups.  I always have a hard time finding cute bowls small enough to serve as food and water bowls for Maggie and Abbie.  Maggie is about 6lbs and Abbie weights in just under 3.5lbs, so they don't need big food bowls.  An adequate sized water bowl is equally important since otherwise the girls seem to dunk their whole face in the water, lol!

While shopping at Doggie Couture Shop, I stumbled upon the perfect bowls for Maggie and Abbie.  I love the amazing selection on Doggie Couture Shop’s website.  They carry everything you could want for your pup, so I’m not at all surprised that I found the perfect bowls there. 

Dog Chewz NYC makes these beautiful bowls.  They come in a set of two, one for food and one for water.  For my two, I picked the pretty purple set, but they have fun colors and even leopard print available at Doggie Couture Shop.  I have to say that I do love the 18kt gold letter on the bowls, which makes them fit for any princess or prince.  I was thrilled that the bowls are porcelain since I’m not a fan of plastic bowls and stainless steel seems rather boring to me.   Also, I don’t have to worry because the bowls are lead free.

Besides loving the aesthetics of these cute bowls from Doggie Couture Shop, the set is very practical for Maggie and Abbie with a diameter under 4 inches.  They hold  ½ a cup of food and 1 cup of water, respectively.  I have to say that it is nice to be able to throw them in the dishwasher with the rest of our dishes and not worry.  The only catch is that you can’t microwave in these bowls because of the 18kt gold letter, but we haven’t found that to be an issue.

Maggie definitely gives these adorable bowls from Doggie Couture Shop two paws up! Here is a link to our perfect bowls: http://www.DoggieCoutureShop.com/Ceramic_Bowls_p/wp-dcz08-tcupsldpurp.htm

Abbie's First Official Modeling Gig

I have always thought that Maggie and Abbie are cute enough to be doggie models, but I know that I'm a bit biased.  When the opportunity presented it's self I was so excited.  Doggie Couture Shop sent us, two Juicy Couture Hoodies in Abbie's size for her to model.  I had so much fun shooting Abbie in these two gorgeous Juicy Couture Hoodies.  Abbie didn't mind modeling as she was handsomely paid in treats.

Check out Abbie on Doggie Couture Shop's Website:

Go.Fetch's Abbie Cherry Spinkles Cupcake Dress

As all of you know my little Abbie turned two last month. Her special day would not have been complete without the perfect birthday dress. My dear friend at Go.Fetch gladly volunteered to create a custom dress for Abbie and the Abbie Cherry Sprinkles Cupcake Dress was born. The bow was custom made to match by one of the very best bow makers, Marj of M'Lady's Dog Bows.

It was love at first sight when I saw the dress. Go.Fetch as usual out did themselves. This dress is just the epitome of cuteness from the monogrammed cupcake to adorable rick-rack trim. The cherry and sprinkles fabric is even cuter in person as picture do not do it justice. The bodice is a lovely light lavender and almost looks stripped in person giving the dress even more visual appeal. The pink and purple ribbon really tie the colors of the dress together. Plus, who doesn't love a double skirt!

I do have to say that my favorite part of the dress is the cupcake with Abbie's name on it! I love cupcakes, so this was just perfect. Abbie's dress is on available on Go.Fetch's site: http://www.mygofetch.com/shop/apparel-custom/dresses/105DHECS00.html

A little over the shoulder.

Sunshine Weekend

I unfortunately didn't get any decent pictures of the girls at the beach as it was super windy. I did snap a few this weekend of Maggie and Abbie enjoying the sunshine and sweet potato chews.

Both girls are wearing their ToniMari Flamingo Overall Dresses. ToniMari's Overall Dresses are fanatastic....not only are they super cute, perfect for summer and satin lined. We love the satin lining as it really helps with matting.

You can see their adorable ToniMari Overall Dresses

Abbie says RAWR enough pictures, lol

Abbie's Party Continues

Being that yesterday was Abbie actual birthday, it was only right that the celebration continued. Since snuggling and belly rubs are two of Abbie's favorite activities. My fiancé and I were more than happy to indulge Abbie.

Maggie and Abbie were dressed in their Oscar Newman Birthday Party Hand-Smocked Dresses last night and their bows are from Tickled Pink Boutique. The girls had a blast running around and playing with each in between snuggling sessions with mommy and daddy in their new Oscar Newman dresses. I have to say that Oscar Newman's Birthday Party Hand-Smocked Dresses are like little treasure. The hand-smocking and detail work is impeccable. Even the raspberry colored fabric is special as it as a sparkle to it. Pictures just do not do these dresses justice. Of course, Maggie and Abbie were able to enjoy some more Coconut Banana Cake. It is so cute how crazy they both go for some cake.

A Pleasant Surprise...Maggie and Abbie are Go.Fetch Cover Girls

I received a lovely surprise today when I checked one of my favorite website Go.Fetch. The website loaded and I saw my girls, Maggie and Abbie. I'm so super excited. Maggie and Abbie are on the Go.Fetch home page. So when anyone visits Go.Fetch's website, they will get to see my girls.

Abbie's Go.Fetch Birthday Dress Is On It's Way

I'm so super excited because Abbie's custom birthday dress which is named after her is on it's way. Our favorite designer Go.Fetch created a special birthday dress for my Abbie called Abbie's Sprinkle Cherry Cupcake. I received pictures of the dress this morning and could not get over how cute the dress is! I had to the cuteness share with my co-workers. Everyone loves the dress as it is perfect for my little Abbie. She is totally going to look like a little princess on her special day.

I just checked and the Abbie's Sprinkle Cherry Cupcake Dress is already available for order on Posh Puppy Boutique's website!

Nina Ottosson Dog Tornado

Maggie received two Nina Ottosson Interactive Dog Toys from Mommy and Daddy. I was worried initially that the toys would be too difficult or my little Maggie would be too lazy to really try the toys. Boy oh boy was I pleasantly surprised....Maggie loves her new Nina Ottosson Interactive Dog Toys and I love them, too. Nina Ottonsson's Interactive Dog Toys are so innovative. They are essentially brain exercises for dogs. Just like we do crossword puzzles or suduko, dogs now have toys to work their problem solving skills. I purchased Maggie's two toys from Poochie Heaven. The prices were very reasonable and the shipping was only $5. I was very pleased with my purchases and the service I received from Poochie Heaven.

The first one that I'm reviewing is the Dog Tornado. The Dog Tornado is shaped like a bone consisting of four moving plates, three with treat compartment. The top layer serves as a cover and then each consecutive layer covers the next. You place treats or kibble in each compartment and then your dog must use their nose or paw to move the layers in different directions to access the treats. The Dog Tornado comes with little bones which fit over the treat compartments and can be used for added difficulty. It also includes a training dvd. I found Nina Ottosson's website very helpful, too as there are videos and great suggestions.

Here's Maggie enjoying her Nina Ottosson Interactive Dog Tornado:

Happy Easter

Maggie and Abbie wanted to wish all their amazing followers and fans a very Happy Easter!

For Easter morning, I put on the girls new Go.Fetch Hippity Hop Bunny Embroidered Dresses! These dresses are simply gorgeous. The little bunny hopping along the flowers with a butterfly is too cute for words. The colors of the dress are pastel and perfect for Easter. The fabric on the skirt is not only super soft, but it is an adorable bunny print with flowers and strawberries. The detail work on this dress is amazing from the rick rack around the neck to coordinating ribbon hiding the d-ring. Go.Fetch is one of my favorite brands because the designs are always adorable and quality is second to none.

Excited for Easter

My custom Easter sculptures from Christine Monroe Sculptures. I absolute love Christine Monroe Sculptures. The artist Christine is not only super talented, but super sweet and friendly. It is such a joy to work with her. It is obviously that is sculpture is sculpted with lots of love and happiness. I can't wait to for these two sculptures to arrive....they should be here just in time for Easter!

Himalayan Dog Chews Review with Two Videos

One of Maggie birthday presents were Himalayan Dog Chews. I wasn't too sure about them at first, but the Himalayan Dog Chews website has a great Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page, which answered the questions that I had. I also received testimonials from our other dog/Maltese lover friends which swayed me. So I decided to order some and cross my fingers that Maggie and Abbie would like them.

Himalayan Dog Chews are made out of Yak and Caw milk, salt and lime juice. The Himalayan Dog Chews FAQ sections explains that while raw milk is hard for dogs to digest that is not the case with these chews because the milk is made into cheese which then alters the protein making the chew easy for dogs to digest. It also explains that the amount of salt is negligible. Also Himalayan Dog Chews are all natural and have no preservatives.

Check out Abbie Rolling on her Himalayan Dog Chew:

Maggie and Abbie love Himalayan Dog Chews. I was so surprised, but Maggie and Abbie go crazy for them. Best of all the Himalayan Dog Chews last for a long time. They really keep the girls occupied as they have to soften the chews before they can begin to scrap off small pieces. Another aspect I like is that the chews don't make Maggie and Abbie's faces messy or give them funky smelling breath, so Maggie and Abbie still kissable never after chewing their Himalayan Dog Chews.
