Classic Hound martingales

Minnow and Lottie needed some reflective martingale collars and I found the perfect ones at Classic Hound.  They arrived today neatly packaged and sealed with cute Classic Hound stickers. These martingales are quality made and absolutely the best looking reflective styles on the market.  Classic Hound also offer some super stylish designs that I MUST have and I will definitely be buying more collars from them -  especially since they sent a card for $5 off my next order!  THANKS!!


How cool is this...

You now have the option to recycle your Classic Hound collar or leash after it's been used to it's fullest!

Classic Hound offers a "recycle" program to help reduce the amount of materials going into our landfills. 

You can trade-in your old Classic Hound collars or leashes for $5 - $7 off your next collar/leash purchase! 

I give Classic Hound a big round of applause.  I'm one happy customer!

may your holidays be merry and...

Minnow added her own special touch to Christmas this year. What once was a lovely bird ornament is now a pile of chewed up feathers.  And how about my present... let's just say good thing it was a stainless steel object since the cardboard packaging was so much fun to destroy.  Happy holidays to all the puppies in the world experimenting with those exciting new teeth!

big dog, little dog

a Christmas tree in a bullet planter

Will the tall bullet planter save the Christmas tree from Minnow's destructive ways?  We hope so!

hanging love

In 1996, I was so lucky to meet one of the most creative and inspiring ladies.  Michele taught me how to sew, was the best thrift store shopping partner, was way ahead of everyone with her style, made the most delicious corn bread, and will always be a friend that never ceases to amaze me.  And she's finally blogging! 

Michele is currently in production of these kirigama-style lanterns that I absolutely love.  I hope to get a few of my plants in these soon - hanging high above Minnow's plant eating jaws!   

If you are interested, e-mail: mishdafish@bigpond.com. She can ship anywhere in the world.

new at the ranch

Here are a few new things around the house that Minnow has not destroyed yet...

black and white wool area rug in our bedroom (a TJ Maxx find)

black ceramic vase from Target

yellow and white wool rug still searching for its spot in the house (another score from TJ Maxx)

pillows from CB2 (hidden from Minnow)

bought this today - ceramic owl container from Target  (currently my dog treat holder)

naughty and nice

Lottie was the best puppy.  A perfect angel.  She was never destructive.  My furniture and belongings were always safe.  And then there's Minnow. 

My chair with Lottie...

My chair with Minnow...

Minnow also bites the leaves off my plants, chews up my magazines, will jump up on the coffee table and leap from there to the couch, can be found standing on the dining room table, and knocks the water bowl over daily.  Puppies.  I do love them... even when they're naughty.  And it's a good thing she is so cute!
