earlier this summer, we adopted a second crazy dog. i waited a good while to post about this goofball b/c i wanted to make sure he would work out with our family. [see more below] in the meantime, i've been keeping an eye out for "boy-dog" gear - it seems Jen from Bowchies read my mind b/c she dropped me a note about her redesigned website and updated items...both are smashing! she makes an array of collars with colorful, geometric fabrics and ribbons. she's also added these sturdy and stylish shoulder bags with clips and tons of pockets for water, poop bags, biscuits and toys! coming soon: leashes and harnesses...so your trip to the dog park is complete (once you supply the dog, of course). Designer: Jennifer Johnson

Scout (l) and George (r)
Georgie is the new guy in the house. he's a 9-mo-old Great Dane mix. Scout is a Catahoula, about 9 yrs. old. she is very tolerant of George's antics, and they play like freaks! gets pretty wild and woolly in our house! we're having a great time, and we're so lucky we kept at the search for #2 for about 2 years now to find just the right one. both beasts were discovered on petfinder. the coloring on George's face is split right down the middle: black on the right, speckled on the left. his nickname {currently} is the "phantom menace" - star wars meets phantom of the opera. Scout has accumulated quite a few by now: big mama, thundering tarnation, lanky swiper, masked marauder, mistress of doom, devil dog, artful dodger, frumpleface, ET, jar jar binks, nervous and smelly....i could start a blog just on this...reader contributions would be a must! p.s. that chair in the background is Scout's spot...so we have to keep it despite the hideous pattern!
