Posh Pooch Designs, Where it all Began | Posh Pooch Designs

Posh Pooch Designs 

Who came first?
Posh Pooch Designs or Maximo and Rosie?

See the Video on my Youtube Channel at this LINK

It All began with a little white spotted 

Chihuahua named Maximo.

My sister helped me find him. I really wanted a little girl dog,

But when we went to pick him up,

 I think we bonded on the spot.

The door was opened and he walked out, a little thin, a little scraggly, in need of a bath, but so beautiful.

 My sister picked him up and handed him to me.

He looked at me and licked my face.

That was it! I was his.

I named him Maximo because it means Bright little child.

He was very smart and learned his name 

and my commands quickly.

I started making him little sweaters and 

hats because he was cold all the time.

As most chihuahuas are.

I was worried that he was lonely when we were gone from the house and So we decided to get him a little sister.

When we got Rosie she was 14 weeks old 

and weighed 1.4 lbs.

 She was tiny and under fed, but I saw a special 

spark in her eyes and bounce in her step.

We were going to call Her Lily Bell, but when my

 husband saw her, he changed her name

to Rossita Bell -  Which means Rosebud.

At First I had to give her puppy milk, 

everything else made her sick. Eventually, she was able

 to eat real puppy food. 

As she grew bigger and stronger, 

her bond with Maximo grew as well.

He mothered her like she was his baby.

She was very playful and he was very patient.

Today they are inseparable. If one goes to the Vet. 

They both have to go or the other 

will cry the whole time they are gone.

Maximo and Rosie are the heart of 

Posh Pooch Designs

These two sweet and loving pooches are

 the reason I started designing

 and creating dog Sweaters, hats and a bunch more.

As well as, the reason I keep on designing.

You will rarely see on pooch without the other.

 I was a little bothered that now that Maximo 

and Rosie or 7 and 8 years old, that they are 

considered Senior Dogs.

They are still so young and playful, such patient 

Dog models.

They will do what ever is asked of them for the 

payment of a dog cookie or 2.

I still design Dog items, but also design items for people.

 That is why my I changed my theme from,

"Where crochet has gone to the dogs."

to

"Designs for pooches, designs for people,

 and designs for fun!"

Sizes- These are approximate sizes

XS- 2-5 lb dogs ( S-6-9 lb dogs, M- 10-15 lbs dogs)

Notes:  The neck ties are make to be short and tied in a permanent knot.

 spin to the front, and get caught in the legs and nails, if they are too long.

Today Is "National Dress Up Your Pet Day"!

Today Is "National Dress Up Your Pet Day"!

There is nothing I like better then seeing little dogs all dressed in fun outfits. Fluffy dresses and Smart Sweaters with matching hats. I love to See the Humans carrying around their "mini furbabies" with looks of pride on their faces.  It doesn't matter if the dog is ill behaved, they still look cute.  I mean, one of these fancy dogs could pee on your shoe and  we  say " aw, isn't that cute", because he is wearing a little suit with a matching hat.  Even their poop smells less offensive when they are dressed in their Sequined, beaded , taffeta, gowns and  crystal tiaras.

Of course, I am only kidding. ( a little) I personally think every dog (cat, bunny, etc ) should be wearing Posh Pooch Designs Custom made sweaters and hats, but I am bias.

Photo Contest!

I am having a photo contest. to Celebrate this wonderful Day. Please post a pic, to my  facebook fan page of your pooch all dressed up, and I will have Maximo and Rosie choose a random winner to receive a free custom Valentine Ear flap hat-- The only catch is that I want a pic posted of your furbaby in the hat when you get it.

Facebook Fan Page

Rosie is patiently waiting for her reward

for being a good Model.

She saw the cookie bag and moved

just when I clicked the picture,

so I just had to have fun with it.

Have a Paws-itively Bark-tastic Day

Well I have! 

I dig in my purse for a little bit of used tissue and do the

 best I can to clean it up. And of course, there isn't a trash
