I am officially ridiculous

Alternatively titled: My Journey to the Dark Side

My brother’s girlfriend was out of town so my brother was watching her dog. Then, my brother went out of town so who do you think was absolutely thrilled to dogsit for a week? Yep, Amy, who is obsessed with all things dog. I allowed it because I figured it would be a good intro into the work she’d have if we ever grant her deepest desire and get a dog of her own.

So Coco Chanel came to stay.

And of course we couldn’t send her back to my brother (who was already a bit tweaked about the pink collar, pink bag, and pink leash he had to tote around) without an accessory. So we whipped up a doggie tutu - because she is a pretty, pretty princess.

Yes, I made dance wear…for a DOG. That’s what it’s come to.

No real reaction from Miss Chanel but I hear the girlfriend loved it. My brother? Not so much.

    THAT is freaking HILARIOUS.

    Somehow, the name “Mr. Barky von Schnauzer” comes to my mind. But this is apparently a “MRS. Barky von Schnauzer.”

    Oh! Coco Channel. So cute! I haven’t seen her yet. I’ll bet Amy’s been loving life.
    Love the tutu! You’re amazing! It would have taken me weeks to concoct something like that, and you know I speak the truth.

    I’m sure that Amy was in dog heaven and that your brother was absolutely mortified. Little Renee still talks about Coco-Chanel. So the big question is…how soon until you get a little doggie of your own!?!

    Peaches had a bathing suit, princess dress, a lady bug costume, and so much more. We’d take her lil clothes off and she wouldn’t do anything until we put something else on her. I love to dress up dogs. Can’t do it to a houd dog, or I’ll get disowned!

    I LOVE the tutu and the pictures. Can’t tell you how much they made me smile and think good thoughts about Peaches. Thank you!

    I would LOVE to do this to my sister’s dog. Her boyfriend would be mortified.
