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.

Truly a Princess
Some dispute the fact that Golly is a Princess. However, we have proof. She rule the house with an iron paw, having minions bring her food, treats, toys and bones. Her minions (that would be Hope and me) provide her with soft beds, sofas and chairs to recline upon. Her minions also provide a nice green lawn for her to walk upon. Her home is a constant, comfortable temperature. Sounds like a princess to me.
Last night was the ultimate proof. I had to get up in the middle of the night (it's tough getting older) and found the Princess on my other pillow, next to my face. And Golly seemed to say, "Is this not my right?"
Having had a princess dog, I can attest that the smartest animal around is not the one that can retrieve a dead duck or guide a blind person, but the one that can manipulate her humans into waiting on her hand and paw.
Golly is a total princess -- all she needs is a sleeping mask for when she's sleeping so that when you get up in the middle of the night and turn the lights on you won't disturb her :)

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.

Some dogs seem to be born to royalty.
Misty the alpha Poodle has human minions, three dog servants and even the cat when no one is watching.
Pillows are ultimate. I believe princesses should always have first right of refusal for pillows!

My labrador, Boomer, used to sleep with me, and he would actually try to push me out of the way!
