Hood Rats!

Pinterest......P-I-N-T-E-R-E-S-T!!!! You are an evil temptress. You lure me in with you creative and enticing images. You make me think that I can make anything with some glitter, glue, and a few scraps of paper (over generalizing, I'm sure). If you'd like to follow me on Pinterest, you can find me here.

Well, what can I say. I too have been bitten by the pinterest bug. I've been pinning randomness to my boards for a few months now. I thought I'd share one of my creations. A co-worker of mine pinned the cutest pic.

Isn't that just the cutest thing you've ever seen. So I thought...my wiener is cold. Short German hair and all. So why NOT make a dog hoodie. She'll love it! And if I'm making one for Charlotte, then Hazel will need one too. It's like small children, really. If one gets something than the other needs the same thing. (This premise is currently being applied to all of my Christmas gifts for my nephews and nieces). Separate but equal.

So back to the cuteness.

My best friend and I made the pilgrimage to Mecca (JoAnn Fabrics). She too is an evil temptress. I have probably single handedly kept a few employees in their jobs this year alone. I should own stock as much as I spend in that place! Honorary employee!?! I think so! But don't ask me to cut your fabric or follow me around the store trying to give me ideas (crazy lady from Thanksgiving weekend). I'm mearly here to do some silent shopping and pondering.

Anyhoo, we decided to make the hoodies out of fleece, being that it is both warm and cheap. It's a dog hoodie after all. With Charlottes 'red' color, blue was a nice compliment. My black and white lady, Hazel, got a snazzy green. Check out the awesomeness that is the hood.



I look so enthused! Dad, you suck! I hate it and can't move with this thing attached.

 So, she wore it. Not willingly, but she wore it. And the little bitty wore hers too.

She's a bit quicker than my Charlotte, so I had to wait until the next day to catch them in action. It was super cold that weekend, so we cuddled up in our hoodies for the whole day.

So, I call this a Pinterest success. The dogs actually wear them from time to time (when it's actually cold in Texas).

Stay tuned for more of my Pinterest self challenges. I've got a boat load. Seriously....pinterest is having an adverse effect on my paycheck.

(And I shall not, nore ever, mention the great Pinterest fail of 2012......Food poisoning and an ER visit, thanks to a Pinterest recipe gone awry).
