And they call it puppy love

Hello, my name is Kim and I’m obsessed with my dog. There. I said it.

I try to keep my love for her in check, but she’s just so darn cute! In fact, she’s squeaking the heck out of a toy at my feet as we speak. Despite being consumed by her sometimes, I don’t think I’d be one to put a portrait of her up on my walls. That is, until I saw this adorable, colorful and artistic take on the pet portrait by design by matea. How fun are these?! They feel like real works of art that would make me smile every time I walk by. I also love how much personality they capture! Because, let’s be honest, us pet owners think our little guys have the cutest personalities.

That’s one stylish pup

We had a big little addition to our family this past week–a puppy! She’s an adorable less-than-10-lbs. rescue named Nilla. They called her a Shi Tzu mix, but we suspect a good helping of some other dogs in there. And she’s as cute as can be.

I’m trying hard to resist the temptation to accessorize her like a doll, but that doesn’t mean I can’t admire these adorable dog accessories. How cute are these!?

And, yes, I was a little disappointed that we ended up with a girl, knowing that an amazing bow tie collar exists. I guess I can settle for colorful collars and the occasional little hoodie :)

So what’s your take on doggie dressing? Cute or over-the-top?
