Canine Couture

I’ve been too busy to blog this past week, mainly because we just welcomed our newest addition to the family.

Meet Nadia, a 4 year old retired racing greyhound. We got her from Greyhound Pets of America. I’ve wanted a greyhound for 10 years so we finally took the plunge. Yea that’s a Zulu throw she pulled up “in bed” with her.

Having ran 23 races in her career her favorite activity is occupying  the futon. Her hobbies include drooling, as you can tell from this picture. I need to just put a fitted sheet over the damn thing so she doesn’t ruin it. Note the gross ripped apart suitcase in the background. That’s the only thing my cats will use as a scratching post besides my furniture.

Naturally I’ve had great fun shopping for cute doggy essentials. The trick is to find fun, unexpected items but  not turn your animal into a candidate for petswhowanttokillthemselves.com.

I have a lot of bandannas in my hiking gear closet so Nadia is getting my hand me downs. I think that’s enough decoration, at least for now.

Not one to settle for a run of the mill dog tags from a kiosk I searched Etsy and found this one from Poochy Couture. It looks more like a piece of jewelry but still provides essential information.

Why settle for an ordinary collar when you can get this extra sweet one from Nola & Spencer?

Or what about showing your southern side with these from Furry Twang?

What proper gentleman wouldn’t have a seersucker bow tie? I’m besides myself for this bow tie dog collar from Pecan Pie Puppies. They also make a “corsage” version for females.

If I didn’t think my greyhound would knock this off the kitchen counter I’d buy this treat jar from Happy Hound. Fortunately she’s well behaved compared to this bunch.
