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.

Take your dog to work day!
Yesterday Carlene reminded us that today is "Take Your Dog to Work Day!" We're lucky enough to be able to bring our dogs to work whenever we want! I usually bring Tango on Fridays - it's Hope's day off and that way she doesn't have to keep watch on him as well as the rest of the group. So today Tango and I worked on his sit, down, and stay. Also walking on both sides - because life is not always "at heel." We're getting better. And Tango seems to be napping more. A few weeks ago he would nap only for an hour or so after lunch. But today he's voluntarily going in his crate or on the bed next to my desk (in the picture) and snoozing! I didn't think that would ever happen. Glad I was wrong! - Fran
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.
