Shop Dogs! (and one feline)
I was asked today if our pup Nutmeg would ever be a permanent shop mascot and it got me thinking… it really could work now that she’s all grown up and has really mellowed out. She loves people, including energetic children who tend to smother her, and she actually listens to commands (finally). So, maybe if I feel the urge, I’ll bring her up for a day and see how she does :)
We’ve had a few dogs and a cat come into the store over the past few months. I adore animals and encourage these things :) Here are a few pictures…

I’m not usually fond of chihuahuas, but this one is absolutely adorable. They named her Tinkerbell (I don’t think it had to do with Paris Hilton, I’m assuming her 8 and 10 year old owners like the Disney pixie) and she is usually sporting a little dress, outfit, rhinestone collar or is in an adorable carrying case. I coddled this dog for a few minutes and she is the sweetest, most attentive small dog I’ve ever met. She looks up at you lovingly and craves affection. When Beth comes in without her I always ask her playfully to go home and get her. Beth also has a few other small dogs, one named Bailey that I have offered time and time again to take off her hands, she will have nothing to do with it ;) |
| Here’s me with Riley. The owner was amused how much I liked her dog… enough to go to her car, get her camera and email me this picture. Riley is a llhasa apsos mix and sweet as can be. If you put him down he dances at your feet to be picked up again. He’s so happy… I hope they come back soon! |

We’ve only had one kitty in the store. Cleo wasn’t thrilled to be there… but we kept her still long enough to snap this picture. |
| Lulu and Otis have never been to the shop, but their owner emailed me this pic so I would be sure to see their new Dit La Fille Collars :) I’m low on these handmade collars, but they are very lovely. They come in a little handmade pouch and some of them come with matching key rings. Lulu has the sweetest little face… I’m a sucker for lab puppies:) |

Here is Samson asleep in Michelle’s lap. He’s all grown up now, but here I think he was 12 weeks old. Such a love, but with tons of energy! Samson belongs to Suzy and Amanda but he was passed around so everyone could hold him. I think he’s a malti-poo. |
So, if you have a cute, well-behaved pet… come on up and visit :) I also adore puppy pictures… so if you are a friend of the shop and have a dog, send it over and I’ll post it next time :) (doesn’t matter if you are in the shop, I’ll just post it anyway! hehe)
