Rise and Shine Archie!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It is me... Archie Barchie!

Thank you so much for all of my 1st birthday wishes!

Yay! I am no longer sub-one!

I am a full number! :)

However, I am afraid, I may have celebrated a little too much as I am so sleeeepy!

This is me at work today!

Look how FUN...

My momma loves my gladdy tatty so much that she got a mini one to match mine for the office!

ZZZZzzzzzz

Here I am demonstrating that the Gladdy Paddy and Tattys are so comfy that you can sleep on them & under them!

Ha!

Linda hand-makes each one in lots of different sizes and colors!

Please check out her Etsy shop to see them all!

This is her crew, Ike, Peanut and Gladys!

They help her like I help my momma at work. :)

What would they ever do without us? :)

Tee Hee!

What do you have planned for today?

Please leave me a note and let me know!

Have a super duper day everyone!

Fred Langer Photography ~ Downtown Denver Shoot

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Fred recently had an evening shoot in Downtown Denver and captured these wonderful photos!

Not only do I LOVE the images, but I am awed by his talent in processing each image from the camera to a finished work of art!

He learned how to do all of this from reading lots of books and taking a few workshops. :)

He is truly inspiring to me!

He leaves for Panama tomorrow for a week so I will have lots of new photos to show you soon!

I cannot wait to see what he sees!

R-Chee and I will keep you updated!

What fun trips do you have planned this year?

Are you going to a Pug Fest, tropical island, or to visit family?

Please leave us a note and let us know!

We cannot wait to hear all about your plans!

Super Seniors ~ Meet Peanut

Meet Peanut!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

I have a very special senior to share with you today. :)

He is a 18 year old shitzu named Peanut.

He lives in PA with his 12 year old pug sister, Gladys, and his Mom, Linda H.

I introduced you to Linda a few months back when Archie got his Gladdy Tatty!

She is an amazing artist creating beautiful quilted creations for people and pets!

Please check out her Etsy store and her Facebook Fan Page to see all of her work and happy customer photos!

They make me smile everyday as she posts them!

Linda rescued both Peanut and Gladys and also works with animals everyday as a vet tech.

She saved Peanut when he was 9 years old and that was 9 years ago now!

Doesn't he look handsome in his Scrambled Eggs and Bacon Sweater Vest?

Linda says it keep his ancient little body warm everyday.

That makes me so happy!

Gladys has been a loved member of their family since last year and she is a fiesty 12 year old.

Linda so wants to get her a sweater vest, but Gladys only wants to be naked! :)

I think it is an ongoing discussion in their home. :)

Tee Hee!

Peanut says that's ok with him because he is not sharing! :)

Thank you for always sharing your doggies, photos and stories with us!

You make this journey so much FUN to travel and explore!

Introducing ~ Woofie Warmer ~ Dog Neck Warmers

Happy Monday Everyone!

I am so excited to show you my Newest Crocheted Accessory to my Dog Apparel Line!

Introducing Woofie Warmer ~ Dog Neck Warmers!

Red collar / Dark Purple trim / Lavender bobbles

Archie and I were inspired by all of you to create this wonderful new design to bring warmth and hugs to your dogs.

You have been asking and we have been listening!

Many customers over the years have asked for a crocheted warming hug for their doggies that do not wear hats and sweaters & for larger canine family members that do not quite fit in the 36 lb weight limit of the Dog Sweater Vests.

I custom make each Woofie Warmer for you to order!

Woofie Warmer Dog Neck Warmers are comfy and warm for dogs of ALL sizes!

When ordering your Woofie Warmer, I just need to know your dog's

Breed

Weight

Neck Size

to know what size to custom make for you.

And...

Just like the Dog Sweater Vests and Barkclava Dog Hats ~

You get to choose the 3 colors for the ...

Collar / Trim / Bobbles

Powder Blue collar / Black trim / Mustard bobbles

Archie loves his Woofie Warmer!

He says it is comfy, warm and stylish!

We would love to make them for you in your favorite colors!

If you would like Archie and I to make you your very own Woofie Warmer, please feel free to visit the Woofie Warmer Gallery ~ http://www.woofiewarmer.com/ ~ for inspiration and my Etsy Shop to order!

Please also feel free to contact me anytime with any questions!

Friday Funnies ~ Say Ahhhhh Archie!

Happy Friday everyone!

It is me...

Archie!

Look what I found!

A yummy stick with rounded edges!

My momma has hundreds of these "craft sticks" to mix and make things with.

My dad said they are tongue depressers, not chew toys.

Hmmmf! :o

What do you mean I cannot chew on it?

Now I know why he called them tongue depressers...

I'm depressed!

Well enough of that!

I'm off to the backyard to find some mulch to chew on. :)

Tee Hee!

What fun things are you doing this weekend?

Please leave me a note and let me know!

I cannot wait to hear all about it!
