Roger Caras said "Dogs are not our whole life but they make our lives whole." He was wrong. When you live with four, obedience train two, agility train two and co-own a dog boutique:(GollyGear); dogs are your life. And life is good.

Small dog meetup
Yesterday we (GollyGear) were invited to set up a booth at a Small Dog Meetup on the north side of Chicago. Fran (above) and I had a blast - we got to meet so many wonderful little dogs (and their people)! And it seems that everybody loves shopping - many of the dogs loved hanging out with us. Of course, they could love us because we brought treats. Dogs are terrific examples of the philosophy of enlightened self-interest. There was only one, tiny little dust-up - when one of the little ladies objected to some brute sniffing her without permission. They both got over it in no time. Overall - I'd have to say a good time was had by all!
Pumpkin was absolutely right to object to some brute's unwelcome attentions! She looks wonderful in her dress - makes we want a Chin! Did you see her on our site: http://www.gollygear.com/loladress.htm
Hope and Fran are sisters and owners of GollyGear - a shop specializing in fun, affordable, and practical products especially for small dogs.
We believe that dogs are wonderful companions and their presence enriches our lives. We also know how difficult it can be to find appropriate "gear" for our small dogs, which is why we founded Golly Gear. We make it a point to discover the best products for small dogs and share them with other, devoted dog lovers.
Fran has two dogs: Tango, a 5-year-old Brussels Griffon who got off to a bit of a rough start, but is rapidly becoming a wonderful companion and agility dog, with his Masters Standard and Novice Jumpers titles, and Booker, 2-year-old Boston Terrier just starting his adventure. Hope has Teddy a 4-year-old fawn Frenchie with attitude and Open Standard and Jumpers titles; and Torque, a brand-new Frenchie baby.
Golly Gear is named for Fran's Brussels Griffon, Golly - who was a discriminating judge of all things dog throughout her life.

Did you have a doggie fashion show? I see some fur models in one of the pictures! Looks like everyone was having fun!
No planned fashion show - but many showed up in their Sunday best! So cute - we had a ball!
Absolutely adorable gathering. I'm sure they all thought they were the alpha dog.
Uh-oh, I think my little Pumpkin was part of the dust-up :) It was a very fun event and Pumpkin loves her dress - it seems very comfy on her.
