Puppy Names

I like to think of myself as a great namer of puppies. My boyfriend probably would disagree, however, I will hold to this day that Martini would have been cute, and 8Ball would not have been. Maybe Starry got lucky with Rockstarr. Anyway, here are my simple tricks for naming your puppy:

1) Take into account the coloring of your puppy. For example, Starry is all white, like a little star.
2) Take into account the temperment of your puppy. For example, Starry is sort of a diva
3) Think about any special situation concerning the new arrival. For example, we bought Starry late at night in a parking lot, and so as I was driving home, I was also drinking a Rockstar energy drink.
4) Think of anyone specal to you, or otherwise. We have a friend with the last name fo Starr, and for when he runs for President, we thought it would be fun to have our dog partially named after him

Congratulations of the new puppy, and hopefully you wil find this helpful!

Update: Where Have I Been?

Hello,

I am have been going through a slight crisis of writing. It effectually ceased to be fun for me, so I took a little break. But, I'm back.

So, for my update blog, I'll tell you a bit about Starry. Of course next to nothing is new with her, but she is healthy, and happy, and just got a bath. How do you give a tecaup Chihuahua terrified of being submerged up to her ankles in water a bath, you ask? Just pick them up! She gets one in the shower and love it!

Special Winter Treat for the Pampered Pup

If you're looking for something extra special with which to pamper your little (or bigger) pup this winter, than take a cue from my obviously spoiled rotten little princess and plug in an electric blanket. Little dogs absolutely adore the extra warmth.

For safety considerations, aside from following all of the standard directions provided with the blanket on its packaging, this should only be allowed under close supervision, and I wouldn't crank the heat all the way up, but prefer to keep it at a more medium temperature. Make sure plently of water is available to your dog (as always), and make sure there isn't any water near the blanket. Also, beware of the cords, as a little one could easily become tangled. Like I said, let them nap on these under close supervision.

Affordable Collars That Actually Look Good

Collars are so mundane, they really are. They're like socks, or a belt. You know they're a necessity of life, yet there always seems to be a million things you'd prefer to purchase. Starry just burned through the bejewled collar she's had for less than a year which cost be 50 bucks, and since she recently chewed a whole through my favorite pair of designer jeans, I am less than eager to go buy her a new one. Still, she needs one badly, so I was ecstatic to check out Pure Country pet Boutique and find a bunch of fabulous options all priced at under $20. They have all of my necessary requirements; some with jewels, some with studs, leather, etc.

While you're snooping around, you can try and find Starry who won a modelling contest for their site. I'll give you a hint, she might sneak up on you in an orange sweater and say "Boo"!

Haute Coats

Coats are great. They not only look amazing, but they add a little extra something to the fashionable pup. Any dog can wear a sweater, but a great coat looks incredibly luxe. Thats why I just adore the Aspen Dog Coat by New York Dog. It features: faux suede and think faux fur, velcro closure, gold hardware on back, and metallic faux leather trim. It is available in emerald green or chocolate brown.
