A Valentine for YOU!

Today will mark a very special Valentine's Day for B and I.  Before this year, we have celebrated the past nine Valentine's Days differently, but all have included some sort of out-to-eat dinner.  One year we waited in line for three hours at Olive Garden, and another year we enjoyed a drive-in dinner at Sonic.  This year we won't be leaving the house to face the crowds of love birds dining out for the holiday.  Instead, we plan to spend the evening at home with the love of our lives, Miss Athena!

One of my most favorite holiday traditions has always been passing out Valentine's cards.  When Athena heard this, she couldn't help but make some of her very own Valentines to pass out to all of her friends!  Below are her Valentine's cards that she would like to share with everyone (beware-- they all come with a sloppy Athena smooch!):

Will you be spending this Valentine's Day with your four-legged love bug?

Don't be shy to stop by our Facebook page today to share your Valentine's cards with Athena =)

Smoochable Accessories for Valentine's Day

As Valentine's Day quickly approaches, Athena has been preparing to be the smoochiest dog in all of Portland.  Our friends over at Our Waldo Bungie have been helping to outfit Athena in the sweetest of Valentine's fashions to help her to receive lots of kisses on February 14th.

Just Dog Gone Cute Collars

As many of you know, we were the lucky winners of a Just Dog Gone Cute ribbon collar during Our Waldo Bungie's recent Giveaway-a-Day.  After lots of ribbon suggestions from Kelly (Just Dog Gone Cute's master mind), we decided on a Valentine's themed collar with "Hoo do u Love?" ribbon for Athena.

This collar is perfection with its pink and red sparkly ribbon that shows off Athena's lovable personality.  I just want to smooch her up when she wears this new collar!

Not only does Kelly create adorable ribbon collars for holidays, special occasions, and everyday fanciness, she also makes "Adopt Me" collars that would be perfect for any dog looking for their forever home.  We are totally smitten with Just Dog Gone Cute!

Tiennot Knits Bow Ties

Also featured in Our Waldo Bungie's 2012 Giveaway-a-Day were Tiennot Knits Sweater's newest line of knitted bow ties that the very handsome Chick and Doodlebug from Love and a Six Foot Leash modeled.  Athena definitely felt the smoochies coming on when she saw those handsome fellas wearing their very dapper bow ties.  She was ever so excited when her very own girly bow tie arrived in the mail!

Not only is this bow tie just the cutest thing I've ever seen, it's a PERFECT match to Athena's custom Tiennot Knits Sweater.  Athena has modeled it all around town already and everyone stops to admire its fanciness.  I especially love it when she wears it on her head like a headband because she looks just like Miss Hello Pitty.

Seeing as Athena has TWO Valentine's collars to wear on heart day, we might just have to extend it to become heart week so that she can get some good wear out of both of her new accessories.  I just know she's going to get lots of extra smoochies in these cuties.  I'm thinking even her new daycare boyfriend, Timber, might even send her an extra box of Sweathearts when he sees her wearing these adorable collars.

Big smooches for the Thean Bean from Timber

Will your pooch be sporting any Valentine's fashions this year?
