She loves her baby... its an orange bear she carries all around the house. Her personality is amazing, she's daddys little girl and she's the princess of the house.

March's Winner!

This month's winner of a FREE collar is Meg and her little Audrey. She is adorable in her Princess Puppy Pirate harness. Mom, Meg tells us how Audrey became a member of her family:

" Last year I traveled to Mexico with a friend, just over the border in tijuana because she had never been. We got a little off the beaten path and stumbled upon a 2x2 dirty pet shop, two cages with 2 big pups on the bottom and 10 little ones on the top. Audrey was the weakest and was being stepped on by other dogs. As soon as I saw her I knew I couldn't leave her there, the man struggled on the price and finally gave her to me for $160. Upon re-entry into the US the border patrol stopped me and told me that dogs coming over the border must be 5 months old and have all their shots, he looked at Audrey weighing only 1 oz and said " Look, most of these dogs are improperly bred and die within a week, I see it all the time, but I tell you what, I'll let you take her, but I would get her to a vet right away" and I did. She was malnurished and was just 4 weeks old, she should have still been nursed by her mother another 4 weeks, she also had flees, luckily no parasites or anything intestinal. Today she is a spolied 1yr old, who goes on hikes, goes to the dog park, gets beautifully groomed, has her own bed and toys and is flying first class to Minnesota with me for 4th of July weekend at my cabin up north. She is a great dog and has just recently landed a pet agent here in LA. I think it's a truly rags to riches story."

Meet SwankyPet, Miss Bossy Pants!

Cutest dog name - EVER!

I'll call her "MBP" and she is a beautiful Pitbull who lives with mom, Michelle in Klamath, Oregon. Michelle sent me the nicest email and photo of MBP:

'Here is a picture for your website of my pup, Miss Bossy Pants, wearing the Love is All You Need collar. I'd love to be entered into your drawing for a free collar! :) I love your selection and the quality of your collars and leads. I get many, many compliments on them.

Of course I'd love to tell you all about her - that's one of my very favorite things to do! Miss Bossy Pants is a 12 month old Pitbull. I picked her out when she was only a week old and fell in love with her immediately because, out of a litter of 9 puppies, she was the only one that had that beautiful chocolate coloring. She has the best personality. She is smart & whitty, playful & attentive, she loves other dogs & thinks everyone is her best friend! She loves her toys & blankets, going for walks, playing fetch or simply sitting on the couch with us to cuddle. I've never owned a dog before, and I must say, the experience with Bossy has brought a lot of joy to our lives.'
