So I am not sure how ya'll feel about a little doggy dress up but I can tell you me and my little girl - love it! She can not wait to get in her clothes and prance up and down the block showing off her designer duds. Seriously... she gets really excited when the clothes come out - pawing at them, "laughing", and sitting very still so I can put them on. She has t-shirts, dresses, bows - and we are working on the shoes. How cute would little (sensible) heels be to go with a fancy little dress? Crazy cute, right?

The problem with doggy clothes shopping is it can be pretty pricey - even online. To combat this we go shopping on the cheap and buy whatever we can that is on crazy sale. There is always a fist full of inexpensive dresses and other clothing that fit her small size at most of the local places we shop and even the national chains (PetCo, PetSmart, ect). Dressing her up is a great bonding experience for us as well - she gets to feel like a little, hairy, princess for the day and I get to show off my little girl. She looks so adorable, too - at least I think so.

I can understand when people think it's strange to dress up your "animal". I have only had my little baby girl for about 6 months and before I had her the last dog I had was an "outdoor" dog I had as a child. He was definitely not the type of dog you would "dress up", he was the type of dog that was inhumanely chained to a tree and would have likely eaten me alive if given the opportunity. I was a child at the time - and I didn't understand this type of treatment is not only completely disgusting but also incredibly barbaric. Anyway, for those of you that do not "get it" it is fine - you don't have to!

One of my favorite places to go shopping with her online (yes we do it together at the computer) is the Doggie Couture Shop - you can find everything here. Little pants, t-shirts, dresses, coats, underwear, and all kinds of neat accessories for the little him and her. They have one of the most comprehensive selections of doggy clothes I have seen; both online and at brick and mortar (B&M) stores.

We both love the $15 and under section where you can find a bunch of great bargains and deals that will make both of you (and your wallet) happy! Grab your "pet" and check it out - with the autumn weather fast approaching I would say the Hoodies are one of the best buys (and the MOST ADORABLE) at this time. If your going to wait for an even better deal - like a coupon - twitter them and wait for the savings to show up - I have done this and usually there is a 20% one that can be found at the beginning of each season. Happy shopping!
