Dog Sitting Again

We are dog sitting again. Chihuahuas, of course! One of them has such bad breath, my mom is about to gag every time the dog comes near her. And she is a very very kissy dog! Cute little girl, but she could definitely gag a maggot, as they say! Then there's little Pookie. He's a blue chi, and like most blue chis, has patches of his hair missing. Makes him look like he's going bald, just like my dad.

We ordered Halloween and Christmas stuff for my store this week. Cha Cha Couture has come out with some darling Christmas dresses. I can't wait to try one of them on. I will put up some links to my new clothing tomorrow after mom gets them on the web site!

But look at these shoes! Pink Shoes. They are like real tennis shoes for dogs! Here's a little description of them:

Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) sole is Skid-free, flexible, insulates against cold and surfaces, and is the same material used in high-end running and basketball shoes.
Because of the reliable heavy-duty zipper and elastic stitching EPIKS will stay on tight-even while running. Lightweight features make it 30% lighter than shoes of the competition so it won’t weigh down the dog’s step or alter musculature

Life at My House

What an active couple of weeks it has been. Lots of "dog sitting" going on by my parents. First we had 4 dogs come to stay with us (all chihuahuas of course - well one of them masquarades as a chihuahua but we really think she is a miniature border collie - looks more like that than a chihuahua), then while they were still there, 2 more come to stay for a few days. It was very crowded there for awhile! The really bad part of it is that my mom and dad have stairs for us to get up on the bed and sleep with them. They moved the stairs away from the bed so we couldn't all climb up there -- something about there being too many dogs. But you know what, I know how to manipulate my parents pretty well. I just cried a lot until they cracked and let me sleep in bed with them. I'm smarter than the average chi you know! Some of them could jump in the bed (which is waist high) so they got to sleep there too. Little show offs!

Anyway, so they left and we got a couple of days of peace and now we have 3 more chihuahuas staying with us! Just how many chihuahuas are there in the world anyway?

My store is doing really well inside of Darci's All About Dogs Grooming salon! Check out my site - you will see we added info about where to buy our products. Caitlyn's K9 Boutique. We have some exciting things coming our way for the fall and are looking forward to starting to get them all up on the web site.

I really need to take a nap now. It's very tiring keeping up with all the visitors to my house these days!

Have a great day everyone!

Michael Vick and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference

This blog is supposed to be about frivolous things, like stuff you can get from my store. But I'm irritated right now. Is there some reason why the Southern Christian Leadership Conference has decided to honor Michael Vick?????

I don't even know what to say. Except maybe to wear my Bite Me shirt. See it here

I'm going to go bug my mom now and ask her why a so called christian organization would want to honor an animal abuser.

Iphones and My Mom

You know, when they came out with the Iphone, my mom said there was no way she was going to get one. I mean, seriously, why spend $500 on a phone when she would (1) have to replace the phone she just bought 3 months ago, and (2) would have to pay a cancellation fee to buy herself out of the contract with the other provider.

Guess what mom came home with this weekend? Yep, an Iphone. Tell me why? Are humans just insane or what? If she really wants to spend money on frivolous things, why not spend it on clothing for me? I have a LOT of things I want. There are dog treats to be had, dog clothing to purchase, pet carriers to match my clothing, bling collars. I want to be the most fashionable dog around, and what does she do, she spends her money on Iphones. I barked at her but she didn't care.

I personally think I should have one of these from my store. I could seriously rock out with this. Rock Dog Couture Shirt. Then my mom is adding bling collars to our store really soon. You know, the ones where you can spell your name. I would look so cool in that. Be watching for them as they are just pawsome!

Bye for now. Back to watching mom ignore me and play with her Iphone. Silly if you ask me.

Woof,
Caitlyn

Exciting News re: my dog boutique

I am so excited. When we did our booth at the Reliant World Series of Dog Shows, we met a lovely lady, Darci, who has a grooming facility about 2-1/2 miles from our house. After talking with her, we realized we could both fulfill a need each other had. I need a store to put our merchandise in, and she wanted to put pet clothing in her store. So woohoo, this weekend we will be setting up a mini boutique at Darci's All About Dogs in Missouri City, Texas. My mom and dad are very busy getting ready for it so I don't get to spend much time with them right now, but hopefully this will be great for all of us.

Also, we are now advertising on www.petsaleavenue.com. If you look at the front page, one of the Little Miss Maddi dresses is on the front page - the Katie Belle dress - named after me. Check out the dress here and here .

If you are looking for fashionable pet clothing, please stop by my store.
