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.

The Best Dog Model
Last weekend Hope and I decided that since we'd gotten in many of the new winter sweaters and since we had an extra day off (Labor Day - before the Dax crisis), we'd bring Ceilidh to the store so that she could model them for us. She is our best model, amazingly enough. She dislikes staying still for any length of time. She's a lunatic at home - will play with her ball endlessly if we encouraged it. Our Vet even agrees that she has the canine equivalent of ADHD, but she'll put on sweater after sweater, harness after harness, for a miniscule crumb of a treat. I just cropped this one so you can see what a good job she did. (Products will be up on the site in a few weeks.)
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.
