Sweaters, beds and bow-ties! Oh my!

Melvin’s birthday weekend consisted of a lot of walks followed by a lot of snuggle time, just the way he likes it! Melvin got his usual birthday gift,a new bed, and both dogs got matching Tiennot’s sweaters!  Our dearest Emily from Our Waldo Bungie sent along a gift with this order, matching bow-ties!!!!  Yay us!!!  Let me be clear, we LOVE our Emily and our Tiennot Knit Sweaters.  The boys each have their own ‘closet’ due to all our adoration!

During the sweater modeling session you’ll notice that Melvin tolerates the camera (he’ll do ANYTHING for a treat).  Jake on the other hand finds the camera to be terrifying  horrifying scary (and treats don’t really make up for the fright of it all), as seen in the second photo (and many of the others)….

New bed for the stud!


Twins! (side-note: I was not pointing a gun at Jake. I don’t even own a gun.)


Lesson learned: turtlenecks accentuate head size.


Me: Jake, face the camera.  Jake: No.


The Birthday boy!


There is a very good chance that Jake is in a witness protection program that I am not aware of.

No photos of them in their bow-ties YET, but just you wait, they are a-comin!  We LOVE you Em &  Tiennot Knits!!!!  Thank you!!!

We live with Turk (pit bull mix) and Rufus (chihuahua/Jack Russell mix) and spend our days fixing up our little bungalow, fostering homeless pitties and exploring our city.

      Totally Danny Devito and Schwartzeneger!

      • That is the perfect analogy! I got the pillow on one of my daily sale sites (thefoundary.com , onekingslane.com, or fab.com). If I see the sale again (they always come back around), I’ll let you know!

  2. OMG! They look SO adorable with their matching sweaters! Pretty much the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! I just love the colors you picked. I can’t wait to see them wearing their matching bow ties. Athena was so lucky to receive a fancy bow tie to match her sweater, and it is the cutest thing ever. She gets so many compliments when she wears it out and about!

  3. That picture of Jake looking like you are scaring the bee-gee-sus out of him is too cute. I mean I feel bad for laughing, but I just can’t help it! (Make sure he doesn’t take that personally.) Your boys are the some very well dressed gentle-pups. 🙂

  4. I am dying This is just rediculous. Please send Jake for snuggles immediately.
