First off Happy Sunday! Two blog posts in one weekend – not going to be a regular thing, but I’ve been crazy busy this week and haven’t had time to write any posts, so hopefully this makes up for that. As I’m sure most of you guys are aware, I’m a massive dog lover! I actually own a second Instagram account called @lifeisbetterwith_3. This account is dedicated to my 3 beautiful fur-babies, Lexi (a 3 and a half year old, West Highland white terrier), Rosalie (a 1 and a half year old, black and cream Miniature Long Haired Dachshund), and Summer (a 1 year old, English cream Miniature Long Haired Dachshund). Please feel free to check out their page, give them some love, and follow their adventures through life. If you are OR you have a dog/pet account, also give us a follow as we’re more than likely to follow you back! (Lexi, Rosalie and Summer featured below in their Ditsy Pet bandanas). This blog post is going to be Dog Fashion based (which is where my interests lie with regards to a career). My lovely little Rosalie (pictured above, and later in this post) won a giveaway a few weeks ago, by Franklin and Jacob. For those of you who don’t know who they are, and what they do here’s a little insight for you. Franklin and Jacob are an Etsy store who sell handmade collars, bandanas and bowties for all the lovely little fur-babies in our lives. (@frankie_the_mini_sausage) – Another miniature long haired dachshie - is CEO of the company and has the CUTEST Instagram so please be sure to head over to his page and give him some love! When entering the giveaway, I never imagined Rosalie winning, but watching Frankie pull her name out of all the little slips of paper (with the other contestants names on), was the cherry on top – and what an amazing idea to let him choose too. Rosalie not only won their adorable pink and white stripe collar set, but had the set named after her too. When her lovely giveaway prize arrived, it was packaged beautifully, all sealed in little plastic bags, with pretty floral and polka dot cards in behind each individual piece (which you can see for yourself in the photos below). Ohhh and didn’t I know the package was for Rosalie, she laid on top of it as if to say ‘no touching mumma, this is all mine’ – cheeky little monkey but it was rather cute that she was claiming her prize. Before I continue I want to thank and mention (https://www.instagram.com/franklinandjacob/). Their products are beautifully made and are great quality too, so please, please, if you have your own fur-baby, or have a friend that does, check out their fabulous products – and make a purchase you will not regret. We have our eyes on purchasing the watermelon set next for little Summer. ;) The link to their Etsy shop is in their Instagram bio, and by using the code ‘INSTAFRIEND10’ you can get 10% off! We took the girls - I call them this a lot! - (Lexi, Rosalie and Summer) to their favourite local park. It was Rosalie’s first outing in her new collar set, so of course I took the camera and captured the moment. She looked so cute and loved showing off in front of all the doggie friends she made! The bandana is pink and white stripe at the front with a pink backing, you can turn the top over a couple of times to be able to see both sides, and does up by tying the two ends together in a knot (not too tight)! The bow tie slips easily, over the collar by an elastic loop, so you can use the collar with or without the bow tie – though we absolutely love the bow tie and use it all the time. Finally the collar does up with a silver, metal buckle, and is ever so soft on the dogs neck (the collar also includes a D-ring to pop their lead or ID tag onto). You’ll see more of Rosalie and her best pals in future blog posts. Much Love, Francesca x
