Fashionable Frocks for your Fur Baby!!

On cold and snowy days, my sweet little Dachshund, Tinkerbell, just doesn't want to stay outside long. Totally understandable. Like her mother, she enjoys unlimited sunshine and long walks on the beach. But, we live in Kentucky..not Southern California so inevitably she has to trek outside on not so nice days. Lately, she is looking forward to winter weather. All because of her new...coat!!

 

This ah-dorable leopard down coat was kindly sent to Miss Bell by the wonderful people at Joy Pet Products. Tinkerbell could not love it more!! 

The coat fits her perfectly, (she is a size small), and is secured to her furry body by two velcro straps..one around her neck and one around her belly. The underside is a beautiful caramel color made of water-resistant material. It is washable and dryable and filled with 100 percent premium goose down.

The coats come in a variety of sizes from itty bitty to extra large.

 

I  could go on and on about how much I adore Joy Pet but Tinkerbell wants to take a walk again and show off her new coat to the neighborhood...so, I must go. If you want to make your doogie paws-itively chic, then hurry on over to Joy Pet Products now and find the perfect down coat for your sweet boy or girl! :)

AGLOVES (The Best Texting Gloves) Review and GIVEAWAY!!!

I run outside all year long..even on super cold winter days..when it's snowing..when it's raining (you get the picture). And I ALWAYS..always run listening to Pandora on my Iphone.

But all that changed when I discovered..AGLOVES!

 

I am the proud new owner of Aglove sport gloves...and they have improved my workout 110 percent!

The gloves work in 40 degree weather..in 20 degree weather..in the snow...in the rain. I have been telling EVERYONE they must must must buy these gloves. The gloves work with any touch-screen device Ipad..Android..etc etc. And I want one of my readers, to have their very own pair of Agloves Sport Gloves (pictured below) in a size small/medium.
