New Sponsor: Mochi & Jolie

I'm so excited to let y'all know about our new sponsor, Mochi & Jolie!  If you don't know about Mochi & Jolie, you are missing out!  Mochi & Jolie is a "luxury pet lifestyle company dedicated to bringing great design and high quality products to all the pups who deserve a very special and beautiful life."  The company is named after their two adorable supermodel pups, Mochi and Jolie!

The SUPER Cute Mochi and Jolie

We have a few of Mochi & Jolie's gorgeous designs and we love them.  I see more of their creations making their way into Maggie and Abbie's closet!  We highly recommend Mochi & Jolie's exquisite clothing and accessories!  I have to add that Mochi & Jolie has fabulous customer service.

Maggie in the Princess Cupcake Shirt

Be sure to like their Mochi & Jolie Facebook page because that is where you get a first look at new designs and learn about their wonderful giveaways.  Maggie won the most gorgeous velvet cupcake tee during the Mochi & Jolie's Secret Santa drawings.  Not only was the Princess Cupcake tee stunning, but it is comfortable!  Maggie didn't want to take it off!  I also love that it is satin lined, which helps with matting for long haired pups.

Maggie, So Comfy in Her Princess Cupcake Shirt

Blueberries....

Appetizer or dessert?  Well, that is the debate in our house.  Maggie and Abbie each have a different stance of this topic.  Both Maggie and Abbie love blueberries, so as a little treat I add a few blueberries to each meal.   I have notices that Maggie likes to eat her blueberries first like an appetizer before eating her actual meal.  Abbie, on the other hand, likes to eat her meal first and save her blueberries for last like dessert.  I think it is so funny to see my baby girls’ different eating styles or habits.  It is so much like the differences in their personalities.  Both of my girls are Maltese, both they are still so different, yet so lovable.

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:

Inside Maggie and Abbie's Closet

Hi my name is Melissa, and I have a problem when it comes to buying super cute clothing for my pups. The first step is admitting that you have a problem, right.

Well, I think that I have a bit of an addiction when it comes to buying adorable dog clothes for Maggie and Abbie. It might to the point of needing a twelve step program. I blame the designers for creating such irresistibly adorable dog clothing. It is fun dressing Maggie and Abbie up in the cute clothing, too. I have a matching bow addiction as well, but that will be a topic for another day.

Digging to China

Maggie and Abbie are such silly little girls! They have decided that they love to dig to China together in their cute little pink satin bed.

It cracks me up when they are start. Maggie and Abbie must get some kind of satisfaction out of their digging.

Here is a little video that I caught of them in action:

To Trim Or Not To Trim....

To trim or not to trim....that is the question. I've been debating taking Maggie and Abbie to our groomer for a slight summer trim. Both my girls are in full coat, aka their coats are to the floor. Living in South Florida, it gets very hot and humid during the summer, which is one reason I'm considering trimming the girls coats. I'm not thinking anything drastic, but more like just a few inches off to make their lives and mine easier for the summer. Then, by winter both girls coats will have grown back out. I groom both girls myself and they have both only been to the groomer once. Our groomer is great. Both times I took either Maggie or Abbie either, the followed my instructions to a tee.

I'm looking to get some opinions, so what do you think? Should I take Maggie and Abbie for a trim?

My Mother's Day Present

My sweet fiance, Maggie and Abbie gave me the sweetest and cutest Mother's Day gift. They gave me a custom Christine Monroe Sculpture. I know just where I am going to put it. I have a perfect place for it on my desk at work.

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.

My girls chewing away in the sunshine

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.

Abbie Turns Two ♥

I can't believe and neither can my fiancé that our little Abbie is two years old. He has decided that it is impossible and Abbie is only 1.5 years old, lol. Where does the time go? I wish that I could slow it down just a tiny bit to fit in a few more smooches and snuggle with my girls.

I feel like such a bad Mommy as none of Abbie big presents have arrived, yet. I guess I should have ordered them a little sooner. So this means the celebration will continue was Abbie's presents arrive! I don't think Abbie will mind!

We started celebrating Abbie's Birthday last night, but Abbie started off her actually birthday with extra belly rubs, which are her favorite thing! Followed by a little slice of her favorite Coconut Banana Cake, recipe courtesy of CocoTherapy, all before breakfast. Abbie is loving all the attention.

Since Abbie's big presents haven't arrived her birthday basket looks a little sparse. Abbie received an adorable hot pink Hello Kitty Nightie from a friend. Otherwise from Mommy and Daddy, Abbie receive the Birthday Party Hand-Smocked Dress by Oscar Newman, the Paris Dress by Oscar Newman, the Puccini Top by Truly Oscar, the Miss Butterfly Dress as well as some toys and treats. I took Abbie to the Haute Hound on Saturday where we bought some of her presents. We love visiting the Haute Hound as the owner Kimberly always keeps her store stocked with the newest and cutest doggie goodies.

Of course, Abbie had to wear her special Go.Fetch Abbie Sprinkle Cherry Cupcake Dress, named for her, on her big day and custom matching bow by M'Lady's Dog Bows. To see even more pictures from Abbie's Birthday Like/Become a Fan of Two Palm Beach Pups on Facebook.

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 Birthday Is Approaching

I can't believe it, but my little baby is growing up. Abbie is going to be two years on April 19th! Both my girls are growing up too quickly. So I have been looking at Abbie's first birthday pictures lately.

Here is one of my favorites:

Still a cutie even with frosting in her hair

Thank You Melissa

We have the sweetest friends! My dear friend, Melissa of Bark.Sniff.Drool Blog fame, sent my Maggie an amazing birthday package! Melissa totally spoiled my girls. The package arrived right on time for Maggie's birthday, but I have been a little behind on my postings. Inside Melissa included two adorable Pinkaholic hoodies with hearts all over them, one for Maggie and a cooridnating one for Abbie, as well as some Aqua Pure Breed water, Nootie pet shampoo and spritz in Japanese Cherry Bloosom and two cute designer toys. I can't wait to get some photos of the girls in there new hoodies! Maggie and Abbie love their new toys.

Thanks so much Auntie Melissa!
