Someone stop me… no wait DON’T stop me! I am in love with fancy posh dog collars. You may remember a few posts ago I said that the dogs had been wearing the same collars for YEARS and I ordered a couple of bight flashy collars for B and R from The Sew Crazy Dog Lady… Well, that purchase has spurred a “healthy” obsession for my dogs to be fashionistas! I made another purchase from The Sew Crazy Dog Lady and I can’t wait ’til they come. This time I bought matching ones for Brutus and Rufus AND matching ones for Hera and Eris! Apollo got one too. Here’s a group shot of the collars.
Jen sent me photos of the finished products and Oh My DOG can I just tell you how AWESOME they are!
I mean never in a zillion years did I expected them to turn out so good. They should be here this weekend, just in time for Memorial day. I can’t wait.
Here is what I chose for Brutus and Rufus – this pattern is called Zig Zag and I ordered it in 2 inch wide fabric – click on the photos for larger view. As you can see the fabric looks like it is dark colors.
This however is what it actually looks like! it’s bright and vibrant. I LOVE IT! They are similar to the Mardi Gras ones I got last time in color, but he pattern is alot more masculine and fits their “every day” attitudes as opposed to special “festive” moods like the Mardi Gras ones.
Next up, the girls. Hera and Eris had to have something pretty and feminine.
I choose the 1 inch daisys pattern for them. How gorgeous did they turn out! They are going to stand out and just POP on their dark fur. Totally remind me of when my sis and I were kids and we would wear matching clothes and call them our “twinnie outfits”. OOOH Squeal I am so excited I have “twinnie outfits” for my girls.
And last, but certainly not least is Apollo’s collar.
I love him in blue. And although he is 4½ years old, he is my baby and he acts it. So he needed something cute and representative of his personality. What better than the 1 inch bones and hydrants pattern! I am most impressed with how this one turned out.
I know, Zeus doesnt have one.
I haven’t decided what I want for him yet. I am going to try Apollo’s collar on him and see how it looks. I like the idea of matching, but Zeus’s black fur looks so good in green. Anywho… I am excited to get my package in the mail and will be sure to get some awesome pictures.
