"Obsessive Chihuahua Disorder" Calendar

Maximo won a photo contest on the
Obsessive Chihuahua Disorder
Facebook Fan page for the photo of him in his

Tuxedo Sweater.

 The gift was a OCD Calendar! 

 I was ,  I mean Maximo was  very excited to receive the Calendar in the mail, as he is a big fan.

 This is a very well put together Calendar, with thick Card stock pages and a metal spring type  binding. This is no cheesy calendar you would buy at your local discount store.

Obsessive Chihuahua Disorder Calendar

See how enamored Maximo's is with the Calendar. ( He was licking the front cover).

Each Month has a darling picture of one of the OCD chihuahuas. The month shown is November and guess what? Bebe is wearing a Posh Pooch Designs turkey Hat, that I made!  I am so honored and excited. I put the pic next to Rosie wearing her turkey hat.  Bebe's is much smaller, though.

The OCD Calendar now is hung in the center of my Office were Maximo can see it every day!

Maximo says, "Thank you OCD for my wonderful Calendar,

 from your #1 Fan!

Dog Woobie Crochet Pattern

Woobie Dog Toy Crochet Pattern
Kids like them, too!
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs 

First of all: What is a Dog Woobie?

A Dog Woobie is a long, about 12 inches or longer, 

Stuffed Dog toy, usually shaped like a dog. 

Some of them have squeakers, some do not. 

It is totally up to you if you want to put a squeaker in 

it or not. My Rosie Bell, aka Chihuahua model # 2,

 is terrified of the Squeaking sound and runs away

 from them. Maximo, aka Chihuahua model #1, 

on the other hand, loves the Squeaker and loves to 

make it squeak, but probably just to annoy Rosie.

Note about Squeakers and dogs: 

My friend has a Doxie who loves to eat toys with squeakers in them. She had to take him to the vet for emergency surgery because he had swallowed the squeaker out of his woobie, 
not one of mine, and it had lodged in his intestine. 

He almost died. So All My Woobies will not  have the 
Squeakers in them.

Maximo says, "Don't touch my Woobie"!

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

Have you ever been out and about, and your sweet

 little furbaby drops a "tootsie roll" and you have nothing

 to pick it up with and no were to put it?  

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

 can in site, so I have to stash it in my purse till I find one. 

 EEEEEWWW  or ... I walk a way like I don't see it!    

Well I have the cutest little Dog Mat -

Poo Bag / Purse for you.

  It is a great size to put a few plastic poo bags in.

 Great for going on a walk or trip to the dog part. 

Light and easy to carry, and looks pretty cute too.

Dog Bone Shaped Poo Bag/ Purse

Shaped like a dog bone, and has a cute little paw print applique, 

and a double chained handle, and those sweet little bows.

Dog Bootie Pattern for Those little Paws

Dog Bootie Crochet Pattern for those 
Little Paws.

Many Friends , Family and Customers

 have been asking for Dog Booties or 

dog bootie crochet patterns. 

Not boots, but little booties to keep 

their little paws warm in the house on 

winter days. 

 I thought a lot about it, and took a good

 look at my dogs paws.....

Maximo, his paws and his booties.

Maximo's Paws are very tiny, aren't they cute!

 so I wanted the booties to fit snug but not be tight.

 I also wanted them to be size adjustable.

Before you start , measure up your dog's legs,

 front and back leg measurements may be

 different depending on breed of dog, as well. 

You determine how tall you want them.

 I experimented with different lengths on Maximo

 to see what was more comfortable.
