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.

Starting again, from the beginning
I thought that Tango was doing pretty well with his 2 x 2's - the start of weaving through a series of 12 poles in dog agility. But at our lesson on Wednesday, Tango showed me how much he didn't know. Not his fault. It's always the handler's fault (well, most of the time). Back to the beginning. GRrrr.... Work the clock from 6 to 10, both sides - left and right. Yes, I know ... Start with 2 and work up from there when he's ready. I keep telling myself it will pay off in the end. I picture Tango charging through all 12 poles, from an impossible entry!
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.
