Rain or Shine

The past week has been pretty rainy, but I'm not complaining. I love the rain. Odie does not. I had been eyeing up this RC Pet Products raincoat in the pet store every time I went in, and yesterday I finally tried it on Ode. It was too cute and too nice to take off. Probably one of the most frivolous purchases I've made, as she doesn't often go out in the rain. However, it will come in handy in the winter, as it's waterproof, and lined with a lightweight fleece. 

My review is two big thumbs up! I love this jacket. It's great quality, and was made with small dogs in mind (although the company has rainwear and many other jackets made for large dogs specifically). It was pricey, but I'm sure we'll never have to buy another. 

Some of the features of the 'Robson Rainwear' are reflective piping, a leash access pocket, and detachable hood. The hood will be permanently detached in our case, because Odie just stands still when it's on. With it off, she seems super comfortable in it.

Of course, today it's gorgeous outside. We spent the day getting some much needed sun, and of course we brought the little monkey along. We probably won't actually need the rainwear until the fall. C'est la vie. Viva la summer!

My Little Taco

A friend of ours had a Cinco de Mayo/May the Fourth Be With You themed birthday party, and Odie was cordially invited to boost the Mexican atmosphere. Everyone was encouraged to wear a costume, and Odie was no exception. A black dog sweater, felt fabric and some ribbon lead to a pretty cute little taco. Unfortunately she was feeling a little under the weather the night of, but that didn't stop us from making a card.

Busy Time of Year

I haven't posted in awhile, and it's not because I haven't been doing anything note worthy. I feel like I'm getting busier by the minute! In addition to accepting a new (and more involved) position for the summer, I have an insane amount of projects on the go. One of these projects is a chihuahua meet up group! Yes, I'm a nerd. It's been incredibly successful and I'm so glad I started it. We've already had one meet up and the turn out was great. 


It's a rainy day today, but the weather is constantly improving as summer approaches. We jumped the gun and made a trip to the ocean, hoping to get some kayaking in, and got rained on almost the whole weekend. Oh well. A road trip with my husband and dog is welcome any day. Hopefully this summer will be filled with road trips, hikes, visits with chihuahuas, and sun. 


Here's what Odie has been up to the past month:

Running...

jumping...

hiking...

enjoying ocean air...

meeting new friends...

loving the sun...

getting all tuckered out....

and having a good rest.
