Cowboy Bebop

Reading many of your blogs I have noticed that the corgi is part of a cartoon(?) called Cowboy Bebop. I have never heard of this until reading about it here. So need-less to say I've never seen the show either. I find it interesting where everyone learned about corgis. I learned (and fell in love) from the animal planet show Dogs 101. Kelly said she loved them from watching the Westminster Dog Show. (which she also now knows about the Cowboy Bebop).
I just wanted to pop over and post because it just made me do one of those "huh....lets think about that" moments. And whenever any one stops me because they don't know the dog breed I say its the Queen's dog. I wonder if I would get more of a response by saying "its the dog from Coyboy and Bebop." I guess it depends on my demographic.
Have a good day. Off the park now. :-) And Bark in the Park is tomorrow!!!!

Bark in the Park

I'm kind of early and VERY excited!



My local baseball team is having a dog park night, when we get to bring our dogs to the ball game. I'm so excited! I guess its time to make Whiskey a Marlins coat. :-)

Team Spirit

Gibson over at Corgi Butts shows his team spirit by sporting a colts collar. I was on my shopping excursion to pick up material to make my dog collar flower and bows. I was looking in the clearance bin of scrap pieces of fabric when I came across the FL dolphins. It didn't have a price on in and it was a tiny scrap, so I took it up front to see how big it was. It was a long semi-skinny piece. I asked the cashier how much it would come out to... $2.99. OK SOLD! If it didn't work out it wasn't big splurge of money. I got home and immediately too one of her other coats to use as a guide line. Once I took the dolphin material and cut it into 2 semi-skinny pieces and sewed them together. It was the perfect amount! I found some old white corduroy material and used that as the backing. I finished her little coat just in time - "daddy" (my boyfriend) and "grandpa" (my dad) came in to see her sporting the FL team spirit. My dad hates it when I dress up the dog, but this time he thought it was cool. (of course right?). I was quite proud of myself for what I did. It looks professional.
Now I am not a huge football fan- I could care less about football but for $2.99 I couldn't pass it up. My boyfriend works at the arena when the Panthers play hockey so he's going to see if he can get me a Panther's fleece blanket to make her a Panther's coat. Because we both are HUGE hockey fans! Marlins will be next. :-)

My Model
I plan on putting orange ruffles on it around with butt so she will be noticed as a GIRL.

PS. Also the etsy shop wil be going soon. Im still in the midst of getting enough things done, and prices figured out. Keep you all posted.

Short and Sweet

I bunch of you, my happy followers, have suggested or wondered about my Etsy shop. I have created one, but I haven't put anything up yet. As soon as I do you all will be the first to know. I will probably start uploading to the site tomorrow.
Thanks for sticking with me. :-)

Craft Time

I saw this flower button as a child's head band and thought why not make one for dogs. Especially for the fact that everyone calls Whiskey a boy.
Stay tuned to later on; I'm going to make a boy's bow tie also.



Flower button #1 I made. It was a little small for Whiskey but still cute. I attached this with a hook and eye.

Wearing her button.

I also made one for the kitty. She was the only kitty willing to cooperate.

This is the 2nd one I made for her. More muted colors and a little bigger. It also matches the kitty's

Here is a close up. This one I attached with elastic.
