Dog Clothes Can Be Cute

Girly girl dogs always catch our attention. I've seen lots of ribbons and lace on girly girls. What I want to know is where do they get the cute sweaters and clothes from in a size medium? Every where I look for my boy doggy clothes they never have a size medium. It's the most popular size in America! I don't believe it could be a discontinued size...no, just plain sold out! Which is why I now have some dog clothes patterns from Simplicity, Butterick and McCalls. Tomorrow maybe Vogue. Think of me this week as I sew up a little wardrobe and prick my fingers.


Here is a sweetheart westie dog oil painting up on ebay, titled, DRESS UP. This west highlander westie even wears a hat with roses on it. So sweet!

Westie and Girl Art Collage Painting

Soft romantic linens that have that washed slightly faded look...well I am in love with them. They say, summer in the country, in such a sophisticated-romantic way. So if my clothes are like that so are my girls in my paintings this week. When you live in the country, are a gardener and raise sheep, have quite a few linen dresses lined up for a day so you can change when:

the lambs jump up to say hi and soil the front

puppy jumps up to say hi and soils the front

you spill coffee

you spill orange juice

you start painting and forget to change

you snag it on a rose bush

you get the idea... ironically sometimes all three happen at once when you are carrying orange juice and coffee

The title of this painting is "Sharing a Walk." It looks like she is sharing her hair bows, too! Walking with a dog is like having a listening friend who never questions or berates what you are saying. I remember reading about Robert Pattinson practicing, telling his westie what he was going to say to his girlfriend the next day....and Patti, his westie, was very patient and a good listener.

Run Westie Run

With the cooler weather our westie is preparing for marathons. He is into some serious running. While we watch him he runs in large circles around us laughing with his tongue hanging out. He is chasing some imaginary friends and some real ones, us. The thing is we fall over laughing and he keeps running like he is the coach. "Get up and keep running. It's good for you," I think he is saying.
