Well surprisingly the Disney movie “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” was #1 in the box office for this past weekend.

Here’s a brilliant picture taken and sent in by our good friend Kathleen of her dog Pilot, a female “mixed breed” rescue. Pilot is wearing our IZZY GALORE “Peace” Collar in distressed white leather and we think she looks beautiful. She’s also looking a little hungry…

Why not have your dog wear a backpack to carry his own things, change, poop bags and credit card if he has one. These little backpacks come in four styles shown below. Converts to a little change purse with strap and has a squeaker inside to get your dogs attention at the dog park.

We released our first dress collection today for Chi WOW WOW! ELVIS and I have been bribed, pleaded with and coerced to come out with dresses. And to please the masses, we even put some “BLING” on it for good measure! So we present our TATTOO STUDIO COLLECTION including the TATTOO STUDIO TOKYO “Hello Kitty” Skull (seen modeled above by Izzy). The collection also includes a TATTOO STUDIO LOS ANGELES version with a “Mickey Mouse” Skull surrounded by flames, plus a few other tattoo designs for the “not-so-prissy” canine. Our collection will be available in boutiques and through some of our Certified Online Retailers.

“Hey ELVIS…should we post our interview with The Pet Elite?”

ELVIS:
Yeah, as long as you give me some credit – you did all the talking and I couldn’t get a word in edge-wise.

“They were interviewing me, not you…you were supposed to just sit there in your
British Punk Kilt and your Vintage “Lars Frederiksen” Punk Rock Jacket and look good.”

ELVIS:
Whatever…

“I’m not wearing anything you would not be caught dead in…period!”

So here are some DO’s and DON’T's:

If you want casual and farmy, don’t shove it in our face as with the case of Ellie Mae. A cap is more subtle and what says farm better than a hat that says,
John Deere.

The preppy look was a big DON’T 100 years ago. Go ahead and turn up the collar while you’re at it! Today’s busy dog is much more comfortable in a t-shirt and aviators, with UV protection. I also recommend Doggles for the x-treme canine.

If you’re gonna make a fashion statement, it’s best not to do it looking like a lump of wet cut grass. Some might disagree with me but I think this festive ensemble says, “I’m sassy and I’m comfortable with who I am.”

HELLO? The sweater’s TOO BIG!
I think The Lady would agree that Converse high tops would be the way to go. I approached them to do a deal to make XXXXXXXXXS sizes but they just laughed. Hey…their loss.

This is a motley crew and the shirts suit them but I’d also like to see them in Chi WOW WOW vintage surf tees.

Enter ELVIS into my life…

I wasn’t looking for a dog. I was actually looking to replace a finch that passed on, but when I walked passed the caged playpen of rescues and saw this little white face staring at me, tail wagging, I immediately thought this dog knew me. Later I realized that he did that to everyone. His 3lb.+ body possesses this amazing and wonderful ability to make eveyone around him, feel special.

ELVIS was 8-ish and pretty sick despite his attitude and he was wearing a very macho blue, plaid lumberjack fleece. I never owned a small dog before, one that wore clothes. It was a whole new thing for me but I was into it. I liked the fact that he was dressed in something that served a purpose. I was instructed, he needed to stay warm, period. Now, for those of you that have never owned a small dog, chihuahuas and such, shiver, A LOT! People always ask, why is he shaking? At first, I didn’t really know but assumed he was cold and found out that I was basically correct. I started looking for things to put on ELVIS but to my dissapointment, much of the stuff I found was cutsie and it made me gag. Understand, ELVIS is a big dog in a little dog body and very manly (all who know him…know exactly what I mean.) I needed something hip but was finding out that a cool mini-wardrobe was slim-pickins and I was again running out of choices. Then it hits me…

I raced home to that rag box in the garage frantically throwing ripped t-shirts into the air in hopes of finding my CAPTAIN AMERICA tee. It was still there and I was excited to now pass it on to ELVIS to wear. I took his measurements, made a pattern and whall-la, my first Chi WOW WOW Vintage Tee!
