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.

Yummy, Organic Treats from Wet Noses

When I was at Petco last week, I spotted these tiny treats called Little Stars by Wet Noses.  I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at the ingredients.  Little Stars are organic and wheat-free, which are two things that I look for in treats.  I purchased the Sweet Potato flavor for Maggie and Abbie since they love sweet potatoes.  The ingredients are: Organic rye flour, organic sweet potato puree, organic canola oil, organic molasses, organic cinnamon, organic ginger.

Next to a Dime, to show size

The stars are the smallest treats that I have found.  They are the perfect size for toy breeds.  Every other small treat that I have found, I still break-up into smaller pieces for training.  Better yet, Maggie and Abbie love these treats.  I'm going to pick up the other flavors to try this weekend as part of Maggie and Abbie's Halloween treats.

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

We Have a Winner....

And the Nina Ottosson Dog Tornado goes to Cindy! Congrats Cindy! I hope your pups and foster pups enjoy it. Thanks so much to everyone how participated and a huge thank you to Poochieheaven for being so generous. I loved reading everyone's comments and wish that we could each of your pups a Dog Tornado. We couldn't agree more wit the comments about how amazing and awesome Poochieheaven is! Great customer service and $5 shipping, does it get any better than that. Fingers crossed and maybe we will be able to do another Nina Ottosson Interactive Toy Give-away!

Pet Gear Pup Tub Review

One of the products that I brought home with me from The Global Pet Expo was The Pup Tub by Pet Gear. The Pup Tub is a life saver for us. My kitchen is sink is unfortunately too shallow to bath Maggie and Abbie, so I would bath them in the tub. It was so much work to bath my girls in the tub because it is way too big. I felt kind of like Goldilocks with the sink being too small and the bath tub being too large, but the Pup Tub is just right. In order to save my back and knees from bending and kneeling while bathing Maggie and Abbie in our large tub, I would put on my swimsuit and sit in the tub with the girls. If I didn't get in the tubs with the girls, they would shake and not be happy campers and neither were my back and knees. Having to put on my swimsuit and get in the tub with the girls for their weekly bath was tedious and made bath time such a huge chore.

Our Pup Tub Already For It's First Use

Unlike the kitchen which requires cleaning before and after use for bathing our pups as well as some kind of mat to keep the pups from sliding around, the Pup Tub requires none of those things. After using the Pup Tub simple release the drain and rinse it out. The Pup Tub also has a built in an rubberized mat to keep your pup from slipping and sliding all around during bath time. I haven't had to use the two adjustable leash restraints on each side of the Pup Tub, but if you have pup that isn't a fan of bath time they could be a live-saver. You don't have to worry about the Pup Tub moving around on the counter because it has four anti-skid rubber grippers, which keep it in place. Also making life easier are the two convenient compartment perfect for holding your pup's shampoo and conditioner.

Abbie Totally Relaxed In Our Pup Tub

We love our Pup Tub! Maggie and Abbie are totally relaxed and comfortable in it. They can easily turn around in it and I'm able to maneuver them around to rinse them, etc. It is the perfect size for us and so light-weight. The Pup Tub makes life simpler, which it is key. Bath time is now a snap. The girls and I are so much happier now that we have our Pup Tub. I only wish I had discover the Pup Tub sooner.

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.

You can see their adorable ToniMari Overall Dresses

Abbie says RAWR enough pictures, lol

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.

My Little Bunnies

Maggie and Abbie have been having a funtastic Easter so far. We drove over to Grandma and Grandpa's house, which is their favorite place to visit. Then, we have been having great weather. Maggie and Abbie have been enjoying G-ma and G-pa's big back yard as well as playing dress up for everyone.

One of the Easter dresses that Maggie and Abbie sported were their Bunny Dresses from Tickled Pink Boutique. These dresses are adorable. The fabric has a pale pink background which looks lovely on Maltese and adorable lil bunny faces all over it. The dress is topped off with a beautiful white bow. M'Lady's Dog Bows as usual had the perfect bow to match.

Check out Maggie and Abbie in their Bunny Dresses from Tickled Pink Boutique and matching bows from M'Lady's Dog Bows:

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.

Weave Poles Are Fun

Check out Maggie and Abbie learning how to navigate through the weave poles from their Oscar Newman Agility Set that I bought them for Christmas from Posh Puppy Boutique!

Two Little Miss Piggys- go.fetch dresses

Ever since I started adding CocoTherapy Coconut Oil to my girls’ food, they have become little piggys cleaning their bowls. So, I thought that these Miss Piggy dresses from go.fetch were very appropriate for Maggie and Abbie. The embroidery work on these dresses is too cute! I love the quality and detail of go.fetch’s doggie clothing. The double skirt on these dresses is such a nice touch with pink rick-rack. Best of all there is already a sewn on d-ring, so need to wear a step-in harness over these adorable Miss Piggy dresses. We are huge fans of go.fetch designs! Be sure to check out go.fetch’s Holiday collection. The bows are custom made to match by M’Lady’s Dog Bows. M’Lady’s Dog Bows does amazing custom bows to match any outfit.

My Little Ballerinas

Growing up, I always wanted to be a ballerina….so when I saw these Toni Mari Madison Ballerina Tutus; I had to get them for Maggie and Abbie. When the Madison Ballerina Tutus arrived, I feel even more in love with the design and detail work on them. The bedding on the bodice is beautiful and catches the light. The rhinestone buckle accent with velvet ribbon at the waist is gorgeous. The bodice is a super luxurious, but light weight crushed velvet material. I think my favorite part is the generous tulle skirt which has three shaded of pink. The beautiful velvet bows are by M'Lady's Dog Bows. The bows add the perfect finishing touch.
