Homecoming

This video just says it all-
What could be better than a soldier's safe return home and a joyous welcome by his loyal dog.

Paul Frank Romance in France

Today we added some charming Paul Frank collars and leashes to the store. The name of this print is Ooh La La! The theme here is definitely love. Paris (there's la tour Eiffel), a lovestruck young man, another fellow wearing a beret, and a girl who may be just a bit indecisive, it's a little romantic novel for your dog.

The diamond ring, loves-me, loves-me-not flower, and heart-shaped box of chocolates all suggest the complications and intricacies of dating, love, and deciding who really is "the one." Well, we can all relate.

These are the leashes, and we also have some collars.

So I guess the question is, will she pick the guy in the beret or that other fellow? Hmmmm, something to ponder while you walk your dog in the warm days ahead. This gear is just so different, and what a great gift for a friend! Perhaps you know a dog-owning someone who is wrestling with a romantic decision of her or his own.

Your dog will take it all in stride, and love the attention that these adorable accessories will bring. Paul Frank is about fun, and these are definitely something to smile about.

Unique dog gear for the Paul Frank collector, a lighthearted take on the dating scene, and just a colorful, charming collar and leash for your best friend.

We love these fashionable accessories that will have the folks at  your dog park exclaiming, "Zut Alors!"

Bringing Home the Bacon

Arlo hates to stay home alone. This morning he was too tired to care much when I left for an early church service, seeing as we sprang forward and all. On the way home we stopped for breakfast at a great retro diner, which is always a treat. I was particularly delighted to get our favorite waiter: efficient, fast, and friendly. One of those people that earns a tip and a half and really makes you feel welcome.

At the end of the meal I had to ask for some wrapping to bring the bacon home to Arlo. (The little guy just loves it when I bring him a food surprise.) Not wanting to wrap greasy stuff in a napkin and ruin my purse, I explained to the waiter that I had this little dog at home...

He listened, nodded, then stepped away. Moments later he set a takeout box on the table, and held out his cell phone. There was a photo of  a couple of the cutest tan Chihuahuas. Their proud Papa told me a little bit about the two, and I realized that there was no need to apologize for packing up my dog treats; he understood everything. I've always said that dog owners are the most delightful people. And when sharing stories about our pets we create a kinship all our own.

Needless to say, Arlo was delighted with his bacon slices. He probably thought his prayers had been answered, even though he doesn't like it when I leave home without him. Glad that we only spring forward once a year, as this early bird stuff is for the birds.
