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.

But the grass is wet!
I know that all dogs have quirks - Fran's talked about her "special" Boston Terrier Ceilidh, who has more than her share. Dax has come up with a few of her own, and the spring thaw we're having this week has brought them to the fore. She doesn't like to walk on wet. Especially not wet grass. She's been searching our backyard, from the "safety" of the concrete walk, looking for bitty patches of snow to do her business.
And she'll deliberately walk through mud, avoiding the grass like poison, to get to them. Silly girl.
*laughs* My beagle, Belle, or as I like to call her, Miss Priss, hates to get her paws wet.. she will search for a way to get into the grass to go potty without getting her feet wet, and if she can't find one, she will either hang off the side of the porch, or go on the porch itself...
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.
