My Fetching Fido

I was invited to visit my friend’s brand new home on the coast a couple of weeks ago. She knows I don’t go anywhere without Sammie, my golden retriever, and said I could bring her along. I knew my friend had beautiful hardwood floors so I thought ahead. I ordered Sammie a set of dog boots that she could wear in the house and not scratch the brand new floors. My plan worked perfectly. The boots were easy to slip on and off, and I didn’t have to worry about my dog scratching that gorgeous floor. As a result, we had a wondeful, relaxing visit and were asked to come back again.

I have a small dog that I take everywhere I go. I dress her in cute outfits to show her off, especially when I take her downtown. I was so delighted to find a website that sells an adorable black dog beret to complete her ensembles. She even acts different when she wears it – like she know she looks extra cute. Everyone stops us to comment.

I have a large, long-haired dog that loves her daily walks. In the past, on wet days, I have chosen not to walk her because of the hassle of drying her off when we enter the house. Now that’s no longer a problem. I have found a great looking, affordable waterproof dog blanket coat.

that covers her entire back and sides. And it’s super easy to secure so it stays put. I am so glad I can take her on her walks every day rain or shine. And  she’s happy too.

Each of us thinks that our pooch is the cutest, smartest, and best dog in the world. And it’s true! When I walk my dog, I get stopped a lot because I’ve given her a little bit of pizazz.

She loves her colorful dog bandanna and all the attention she gets on our outings. My dog is not the type to wear a sweater or jacket. She already has a coat that keeps her warm. So a bandanna is the perfect touch.

Many dogs, especially larger ones, might not be too keen on dressing up. But your dog, large or small, will top the pack with this great looking visor. And it will add to your pet’s comfort by keeping the bright sun out of his eyes on your outdoor adventures. This one had a great camo pattern and it even comes in different color choices. Your dog will love it!

Each of us thinks that our pooch is the smartest, cutest, and best of all. Well, we’re right – they are! I make my cute dog even cuter by putting a bright, red dog bandanna around her neck. She’s not one for dressing up, but this is just the perfect touch to make her stand out in the crowd. She loves all the extra attention.

Our dogs love their walks day and night, rain or shine. They can’t get too many. They also like to be in the middle of things. They sense when something is different, like when you get into your wacky Halloween costume to answer the door to trick or treaters and try to scare them. So be sure to plan ahead and get just the right costume so your pet can be in on the fun. I’ve picked up a dog costume that my Sadie will just love. She’ll look so cute in her red and black velour Dracula cape. I’ll scoop her up each time the doorbell rings, so she can hear the ooooh’s and ahhhh’s as everyone tells her how cute she looks. She’ll be warm, too, when we take a walk after all the candy is gone.

Imagine! An airline devoted exclusively to our precious dogs and cats. Instead of passenger seats, there is room for 50 pet crates that are checked on every 15 minutes by an attendant.

What is this airline? Based out of Delray Beach, Florida, Pet Airways and is set up to transport your dog and cat around the country in twin-engine Beech 1900 turboprops. The planes fly at 25,000 feet and free pets from temperature extremes, poor ventilation an often rough handling by cargo personnel on other airlines. Pet Airways operates out of Washington, New York, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles and is looking to expand to 25 additional cities over the next two years. One-way fares vary from $149.99 to $399.99 depending on the pet’s size and destination. Dress your pet for this special adventure in an adorable dog coat to keep it cozy on the journey.

Is Halloween one of your favorite holidays, do you love costume parties? If so, then it’s probably accurate to assume that you’re the type of person who would love to dress up their dog in creatively adorable costumes. October is drawing near, which means it’s the perfect time to purchase your pet’s costume before all the good ones sell out. It’s also important to remember that, just like people, dogs come in different shapes and sizes, which means that their costumes do too. So don’t wait until it’s too late, your tiny pooch may get buried in a large costume.

Looking for your dog’s Halloween costume now will also give you a head start in generating ideas for your own costume. Maybe you want to create a theme between you and your pooch. A Hawaiian shirt and lei pair great with a shark costume for your dog – surfs up! When it comes to shopping for dog costumes, you should also consider the bunny rabbit, the bumble bee, the vampire or the sweet pea.

The fall season is coming fast upon us. Some of us are already seeing leaves dropping and changing their colors. We are starting to feel a coolness in the air on our evening walks with our pets. So, it’s a good idea to keep them warm and cozy with a soft, hooded sweatshirt. For sports fans, you can even choose your favorite logo: basketball, football, soccer, hockey and baseball. Your dog will not only look very cute but will be comfortable as well.
