Holiday Card Bloopers: Blindsided

Frankly, it's a miracle I survived the whole holiday card thing  ....

Waiting up for Santa

So last night I practiced waiting up for Santa.

Failed miserably.

I think it is pretty safe to say that if he comes to my house after 9pm, I'm gonna miss The Jolly One.

Note to Santa in case I miss you:  I've been GOOD!

Holiday Card Bloopers: Fountain Head

Holiday Card Photography 101:  Make sure there is not a fountain coming out of the top of your head.

Geesh, Mom.

No wonder it took 287 attempts to get a good one ....

Holiday Card Bloopers: Talking to Santa

Why yes, Santa, I have been VERY good actually ....

Holiday Shopping Guide: Ten Gifts for the Wee Ones

Today's gift guide includes TEN, yes TEN gifts for the dog loving wee ones on your list.  As always, click on the word "source" under each item to go get one for yourself.

For the tiniest of them all, those still in a crib or the ones planning for them, we LOVE this mobile.  Nothing like teaching them to love us puppers from the beginning, you know!  They call it the "fetching mobile."  Get it?????

Next up, a toy Mom said is a classic and no child should go without:

Yep, they're still making this one!

Source

Coming in at number three on our list, this hand made stuffed dog toy is so cute it would have made Good Dog Design if we'd have been having it in December.  Your wee one is gonna LOVE all this color!!

Source

Next up , for the Fashionista wee ones ... check out this great outfit!  Click on the word "source" under the photo for more great styles from Oliver Blu Designs on Etsy.  We LOVE this store!!!

Source

Another piece we love on etsy is this great print:  I am pretty sure the dog's name could be Doodle!

source

Need a comfy place to sit your caboodle?  You know what is gonna happen with this one, don't you?  You're gonna find the wee one AND the dog all hunkered down here!

Source

And, of course, if you'd rather they all lie down together, the wee one and the pupper, there is this option:

Source

Did someone say STOCKING STUFFER?  Check out these great bathtub toys.  They come with magic ink dirt that disappears in the bathwater and reappears as the toy dries.  We're loving these squirters ... anything to motivate the wee one into the tub, right???

Source

Coming in at number 9 another goodie we'd have featured in Good Dog Design if we were having it this month.  Check out this super cute backpack!

Source

Coming in a number TEN and a bit more commercial looking than we typically go for, allow us to link you to Furreal's GO GO My Walking Pup.  From my White Dog perspective, I say, go for the real thing.  But, if that is not an option, this seems to be a good fake, if you will.

We probably would have skipped this one, but my mom saw TWO kids going absolutely BONKERS for it in Target the other day.  It was one of those " but Mom, I reeeeeeeeaaaalllllyyyyyyy waaaaaaaaaant one" moments.  I swear, the poor child appeared to not be able to live without it.  So, here you go!

Happy Weekend, puppers!

Holiday Guide: Dog Themed Holiday Cards

Listen, puppers.  In this day and age people really appreciate getting a real holiday card.  You know, paws on the paper instead of paws on the keyboard.  With that in mind, and because we are in the mood to be GOOD so we are gonna send "real" cards out this year, we thought we would show you a few of the ones we considered.  You can find all of these on etsy and by clicking on the word "Source" underneath each photo:

Holiday Guide: Decorating the dog house

Source

Heads up, puppers.  Company is coming and we want you to have a well dressed table!  Check out this dog bowl.  Matches your human's holiday china, yes???

source

And, of course, every welcoming dog house has a wreath on the door.  We LOVE this one from Arcadia Home.  Perfectly appropriate, yes??

source

Igoes without saying that, Naughty or Nice, you're gonna want a stocking hanging on the mantle.  Odds are good you'll get some treats.  Good treats.  Lots of treats.  Santa is famous for his generosity.  I am personally kind of partial to these from The Company Store. 

We like this company because, as you may have seen from our facebook page, they sell dog pajamas that match the family.  We think that is VERY cool.  Unfortuntately, we had some technical difficulties getting the picture onto this post.  You'll have to click over to our facebook page if you want to see. 

Make your house stylish for the holidays puppers. 

Go forth in style!

Holiday Guide: dog themed wrapping papers

Well, you know, if you are going to wrap it, you might as well wrap it right.

Dog paper, puppers.  It's what all the cool pups are using this season.

We're linking you to a few we like today so you can be well pup-pared!

Source

That top one is from The Container Store.  Can anybody ever go in there and just buy what they went in for???  Thank heavens it's online.

Source

This one, online at Amazon, gets high marks for having cats and dogs.  In this time of good cheer, we'll go ahead and include our feline friends.  It is the season of being GOOD and all.

Source

We love Paper Source.  Two paws up for this one!

Source

Wagga, wagga, puppers.  You knew we would find one with Westies in it, didn't you.  Handsomest dog on the page, yes???

Go forth and wrap in taste, puppers.  Wrap in taste!

Holiday Guide: Get yourselves ready, Puppers

Well, alrighty then, moving on from being thankful to being prepared.  Here comes Christmas, puppers.  You gotta get yourself ready and we're here to help.  Today we will be featuring a few things to get your very self properly outfitted.  Once we have that under out belt, we'll help you get a few supplies stocked up and then we will move on to our Holiday Guides.  You are not going to believe all the goodies we have found for you to pick from for your dog buddies and their keepers!

Source, buy it here

This piecs is  from a company we found called Alqo Wasi.  Their sweaters are made from Alpaca and the company was started because they have Westies.  Ok, well, kind of.  The woman who started the company had to come up with a college thesis.  While traveling in the Andes she came up with the idea of dog clothes woven regionally made of the local Alpaca.

Yep, this one does indeed LIGHT UP.  Nope, that is not moi in that photo, but I'll bet my dad will get me this outfit for the holidays.  We love stuff that blinks around here.  Gonna be the life of the party with this one, puppers.  And you know how I like to be the life of the party!!!

Source

Yep, you're right indeed.  My mom prefers me in more subtle holiday attire such as this bow tie.  And, even if I was a girly girl dog, she still probably wouldn't dress me up all that much, so we found an option for the girls on this one too:

And, of course, if you are dressing up as the Santa Paws in your house this year, you're gonna need this one:

More power to you, Santa Paws.

And may we all be perfectly well dressed this season!
