Like any good mother, I did my homework when it came to preparing for Macie's arrival. I had no intention of wasting my $$$$$ on what I would refer to as "novelty junk"! I spent many days and nights researching, and these are a few of my favorite purchases.
1) I discovered the awesome (and aptly named) Upscale Pup when I was searching for the perfect bed. I spoke with the very lovely Linda, animal lover and owner of this fabulous pet boutique located in Florida. Lind carries just about everything that would please you and your little angel! Oscar Newman and Louis Dog are examples of the top rated designers that fill the shelves of Upscale Pup. Macie is madly in love with her gorgeous "Cradle Bed" from Louis Dog! As you can see in picture #4, the bed is dripping in fine quality! Organic cotton, satin bow with crystal, heart shaped pillow, separate teddy bear toy, and gorgeous tulle make this bed one in a million! It is an absolutely stunning piece of merchandise! The plush toys that I purchased #3 and #5 are beyond fabulous! The Best of Show set consists of a grooming spray, hairdryer, brush, and doggy shampoo. Everything can be stored in the darling (and shockingly soft and beautiful) carrying case that come adorned with a princess crown covered in sequins.The Ice Cream Cone #5 and her Chewnel Bag are Macie's favorite! She is always playing with it or using it as another very comfy pillow. You may reach Upscale Pet online here, or you may phone them at 866-738-8245
Not exactly in the Glamour vicinity, but nevertheless just as (if not more) important comes the Little Rascal Dog Litter Box.
For an entire slew of reasons I didn't want to subject my precious new puppy to the winter elements as only New York can bring. We may be having a highly unusually warm winter here, but it is still cold enough that there is no reason to subject my little barely 4lb. puppy to any discomfort whatsoever! Enter the awesome "Little Squirt" Dog Litter Pan complete with very lifelike grass and all! I came across several other "lookalikes" in my travels, but the Little Rascal really appears to be a cut above the rest. For example, the grass is fused into the rubber backing and is completely washable (a bag is included for you to just toss it right in the wash....and then air dry it. The sides of the box are 6" high (which ensures containment of any mess), there is a anti skid on the bottom of the box to ensure stability, and an all important training spray to entice the little angel to wander on over to do their business.
We received ours yesterday, and we have already begun to see some progress, not to mention that this box looks quite a bit more attractive than the piddle pad! Tricia and her partner offer FREE phone / email CONSULTATIONS...which I think is unusually generous as well as immensely helpful! There is also a "Big Squirt" box, as well as a fully and well stocked boutique filled with some very fun accessories.! I found Tricia to be knowledgeable, charming and patient, and as you can see from the video, her glorious hair is simply to die for!!!
