It's always sad to say goodbye to the Christmas celebration. So much fun with family and friends, and all that good food. Our dogs are pretty maxed out on ham, Christmas music, and squealing kids.

They're tired, in a good way, as they say. Right now the dogs are lounging around, gazing at the lighted tree, enjoying the scent of the evergreens, and a whiff of glazed ham that still lingers.

We hope that you and your dogs enjoyed your holidays as well, blessed with the love and peace of  the season.

Aaron Rodgers Dog Fan Green Bay Packers

Everyone needs someone to look up to. I know my little dog aspires to being the Aaron Rodgers of the dog league.

Despite the fact that he can't pass like Aaron, when it comes to zigzagging down the field, keeping an alert eye on all the action, and general intelligent athleticism, my little guy has a lot of talent.

We love our Packers and Green Bay fans here at Dog City Dime Store. One of the most popular sections of our store is the Green Bay Packer gear.

Recently we added this gorgeous football leather collar with laces, beautifully made.

Officially licensed, top quality, and even has a sturdy chain leash that coordinates perfectly for a total Green Bay dog set.

 

 

Of course all our Green Bay dogs love their jerseys.

 

Here's our handsome customer, Atlas, representing the pack in great style.

Dog gifts that all your fellow fans will love for their pets:

 

Pss't, just a tip - small bandanas are perfect for cats to wear on game day!

 

Doorbells designed for dogs who ring to signal it's time to go outside. (Of course you can always teach your dog to ring them when the Pack makes a great play, kinda like the championship belt move.)

Hang these on your front door to set the mood for game day parties.

 

You'll find toys and sweaters for your pack in our store, as well as

 

 

leashes,

 

collars,

 

 

and couplers to walk two dogs at once.

 

Your dog wants to be part of the best team. Like my little guy, dogs naturally give their best on the field, so it's understandable that they'd admire Aaron Rodgers and all the other great players in the pack. And for team unity, who understands the concept of loyalty like a dog?

Our dogs have a lot in common with Green Bay Packers fans. Maybe that's why we appreciate them all so much here at Dog City Dime Store. 

Just three more words, fans and dogs, and make it loud and clear -

 

Go Pack Go!

Prepping Your Dog for Winter

We are loading up our store with cold weather gear for your best friend. Today there has been snow in several parts of the country already. Even though we're just getting our usual rain out here in the Pacific Northwest, we have your dog's gear right here.

This coat is called the Nor'Easter, although you don't need to wait for something as catastrophic as that. Perfect for a chilly morning, it has a water-repellant outer shell and reverses to a soft, plush lining.

We have these in a range of colors and sizes. You'll find a fab Fall orange with orange camo lining, sage green with plaid lining, blue with blue solid lining, and this adorable holiday red with red lining.

Lots more coats of all styles, as well as sweaters in solids, polka dots, chevron patterns, and lots in our customers' favorite, Scandinavian Nordic designs.

Now is a great time to buy warm clothing for your dog. You'll be needing these soon, and our selection is at its best.

Buy a couple of items and get free shipping when your total reaches $29.00.

(Of course, you don't have to wear them all at the same time, but shopping with a big bag and save big money.)

Bugsy here is encouraging you to get your haul of winter warmies today.

Wind Storm Power Outage

While we love the trees here in the Northwest, there are times when they fall and slow things down.
That's a big maple tree up there, brought down in some high winds this weekend. We were without power and cable access for two days while everything got fixed in the neighborhood.

We had to close the store down for the two days since we couldn't be open 24-hours as we like to say. However, all is well, and we're up and running again today.

Have to say, I'm glad we had a large maple tree on our property taken down last month. Disease had set in, and it clearly had become a potential hazard in conditions like we had this week. Although I hated to lose that gorgeous tree, safety first, always, and prep for emergencies.

This week I'll be listing lots of warm winter sweaters, coats, jackets, and vests right now. Also, fun Christmas toys and accessories for your best pal.

 

Stop by and have a look. We'll be adding new items all this week!

 

 

 

 

Seahawks Cat

One of our best kept secrets at Dog City Dime Store is our several regular customers
who aren't dogs at all!  Notice the rugged Rambo up there, wearing his Seahawks game day gear?
He's one of an elite coterie of cats who shop with us.

Of course Rambo prefers online shopping, to avoid encountering the frequently too-eager dog who may not appreciate his feline refinement. A discerning cat like Rambo can browse our store and find cushy beds, charming toys, and other eclectic items.

When it comes to sports fan gear, what could be better than a tasteful, small bandana to wear while you recline in a soft spot on the couch while the guests watch the game? Maybe even a nibble from the snack plate would be appropriate for this elegant gentleman, nattily clad in team logo gear.

One might even procure an entertaining mouse toy, while avoiding the crass crowds that frequent big box pet stores.

A soft mat is always appreciated by our cat customers, who enjoy shopping from the laps of their owners.

Kittens and convalescing cats love soft, snuggly carriers like these

as well as any panting Pomeranian.

This bed could as fashionably accommodate a cat as this sleepy puppy. Our pet beds are soft

and ever so comfortable.

 

So shop boldly, like Rambo, and enjoy your excursion, feline friends! We welcome you to prowl around our store any time of night or day, and peruse our listings at your leisure. I'm sure you understand that your patronage is highly valued, and we do our best to provide you with an unobtrusive, discreet shopping experience whenever you choose to visit us online.

 

 

And when it comes to sports fans, we are all in this together.

 

 

Batty About Dogs

This Halloween we've gone a little batty. Starting with this adorable orange and black sweater (on sale right now for a great price), and lots of cute toys for your dog.

How about this cute couple?

These are 7 3/4" wide, and have a crackly material in the wings that dogs love.  We sell these separately, but if you buy more than one, you only pay shipping for one.

 

Here's mustache boy. Love how the stache sets off those fangs, don't you?

And his girlfriend, all dolled up for Halloween. Cute and crinkly, easy to pick up by a wing-tip or hair ribbon for lots of fetching and carrying fun.

 

These guys are 10" wide, and have a squeaker inside. Lots of floppy wing to pick up and tug.
Your choice of green or orange -

As with all our Halloween inventory, we stocked a lot and it's all flying off the shelves like, well, bats:)

Darling dinosaur costume will be perfect for the Halloween parade, party, and pictures.

Limited quantities on lots of things, and some of our costumes have already sold out, so shop now for some great Halloween costumes and toys.

 

Horsing around with dog Halloween costumes

Here's a character that will add style to your Halloween event. Especially when he rides in on a magnificent horse - like this one.

If anyone remembers that hilarious video of the monkey and the Border Collie, you can imagine how your dog will look as a horse this Halloween. Not only is this costume perfect for the dog that doesn't like to wear much gear, you can make some fun videos of your pooch in costume.

Here is the Show Jockey costume, for a more traditional horse racing look. The masked jockey has just the right air of mystery for a Halloween party or parade.

It's all about having fun with your dog, which is what we're all about at Dog City Dime Store.
So stop by and see our dog costumes. Shop while we have a range of sizes for your little trick-or-treater to wear for pictures, partying, or accompanying the kids when they go on their rounds Halloween night.

Halloween Dog Costume Fun

Our customer Bugsy loves his new Halloween costume. Finally, a long neck for everyone to notice. We all love costumes that let us be something else for awhile.

Maybe your dog wants to be a bad guy for a change, like this convict.

 

Or maybe something cute and cuddly like this adorable Koala.

 

An animal with a very long neck.

Or a knight in shining armor.

We have the costumes and they're selling now. We get our large order early, and don't restock. When they're sold, they're sold, so stop by and shop while you have the best choices of themes and sizes.

And if you'd like to be a rare animal with a very long neck, pick up a giraffe costume, like Bugsy.
Lots of fun outfits for all your dogs in our Halloween costume department right now.
