New find: dog totes

I am nothing if not a bag lady. I’m constantly carrying around a bag much bigger than I need. Finding the right everyday carryall can be tough, but there’s something undeniably chic about carrying around this simple canvas tote with a custom silhouette of your favorite pup. These Le Papier Studio totes are 100% cotton, washable and you can either choose a silhouette from their illustration set or create your own custom one from a photo. And at $30, they’re actually affordable:)

Note: this is not a sponsored post. I just think these are cute!

Weekend in photos

While it felt like the better part of the weekend was spent in the car, the wedding we attended on Saturday was lovely. It was my first time visiting La Crosse, Wis. and I have to say it is quite a charming city along the Mississippi River (which is awfully mighty, as they say). The best part though, was having one excited Chick greet us upon our return.

Wedding dogs

This weekend we’ll be heading up to LaCrosse, Wisconsin for a friend’s wedding. Unfortunately, Chick won’t be able to attend so she is off to visit with Ginger and my mom. If she were coming though, I’d completely expect her to attend the wedding with me, obviously. Have a good weekend, friends!

Which one?

The first day of fall is just days away, which means sweater weather is right around the corner. That means Chick needs a new coat and I’m torn. So I’m asking you all: which jacket do you like best? The Nor’easter dog blanket coat or the suede shearling? Both seem to have decent reviews and both are reasonably priced. What do you think? Yay or nay? Neither? Both? Clearly I’m in need of some guidance.

The world’s tallest dog

Before little Chick came along I had a thing for big dogs. While I’ve learned how fun small dogs can be, I still get giddy with giant pups that more closely resemble moose (thank you Fray and Gin). But I was not prepared when I saw this gentle giant. This big guy named Zeus is officially the tallest dog in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. When standing on his hind legs, he measures over seven feet tall. Kind of ridiculous, no?
