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 Reindog Parade at the Chicago Botanic Garden
It was snowy and cold
But even Cubs fans had a good time!
Cute dogs!
Santa was there!
The winner was this Yule Dog Log!
Over 300 dogs were entered - it was crowded and fun!
Dogs are only allowed in the Chicago Botanic Garden 1 day per year - naturally, the nastiest weather-one around! Everybody had fun, though!
Ooodles of cuties, weren't there? Of course our bunch took one look at the snow, turned around and said - "You go ahead. We'll wait here where it's warm."
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.

OK, too much cuteness in one spot.

Wow what fun! They all look wonderful. There's something really special when dogs and dog people get together.
Everybody had such a good time - it's really a shame they only allow dogs at the Garden once a year.
