My two chihuahuas are looking rather spiffy in their winter chihuahua coats. Namaste, my model chihuahua, is not exactly fond of the snow, but she’s getting used to it again. Slowly.

Exciting News: I’m completely renovating the main page of this little blog so that when you first visit, you’re going to see a concise catalogue summary of my very favorite chihuahua clothing from all of my favorite online dog clothing boutiques. I’ve been searching around for months, collecting my top picks and the very best of the best clothes for these little dogs, and I think you’re going to love what I have in store for you. I’m working hard to make things easier for those of you looking for the coolest, most stylish and fashionable chihuahua clothes, and I think you’re going to LOVE the new home page of our site, here, once I’ve got it up and running in just another day or so. So be sure to stay tuned!

In other news: I’ve added the Facebook commenting system to the site, so feel free to add your two cents to any posts on the site as your real self. I think the Facebook system ads a personal touch that is much more meaningful than the standard, anonymous commenting system, so I really encourage you to use it over the standard blog commenting thing (which I’ve still left up for you to use if you want), if you have a Facebook account.

This year, I’m going to be adding a lot more content and putting more emphasis on video and audio reviews of new small dog clothing and outfits for chihuahua dogs, so things will be getting a bit more interesting on here. I know that I like to write a lot and that some of these posts can get a little long-winded, so I’m going to be making the switch to video and audio more often to make things a bit more entertaining for you! Hopefully it will break up the monotony of the solely text-based posts I’ve been putting out on this site for the past year 🙂

Anyway, enough jibber jabber. My chihuahuas are getting restless over here, wanting their walk, and it’s time for me to dress them up in their January 2012 winter chihuahua clothes and take them on their morning walk! Again, I hope you have a great January, a great new year, and make sure you check back very soon for some exciting updates to the site. If love to dress your chihuahuas in cute clothes, then you’re going to want to see what I have in store for you! Happy new year! -Mikey

Dog Clothes For Dressing Up Your Dogs In Clothing

Dog clothes are everywhere today, and whether you’re into chihuahua dog clothes or you’re more a cute dog clothes shopper, it’s these stylish dog clothes that dog owners are flocking to today. My neighbors, and all the pet owners of the little beach town I live in today is going gaga when they shop dog clothes online, and I’m lucky enough to get to see all this chihuahua clothing and these funky dog clothes on their little pets all the time!

Dog clothing does have its detractors, though, and while I think chihuahua clothing is totally fabu and that dressing up your dog in the most fashion-tastic designer dog clothes can be a lot of fun and a very good thing, not everyone feels the same. There are people who completely scoff at the very notion of dog fashion, and believe it to be cruel to dress a dog in an extra layer of fur.

Dog Clothes – Is There A Downside?

I think we have to respect their doggie clothes opinion, because not all of use have seen dog dresses and dog coats used in the same way. I know I have personally seen small dogs wearing heavy, thick dog clothes in the middle of the searing summer, when they’re out in the summer sun and the heat is bearing down on their and their small dog clothes, and that’s not at all cool in my books.

I think this goes without saying, but in terms of dog outfits, you have to use common sense with these little dog clothes, and dog clothing for all breeds of pet dogs. If you’re going to shop for new dog clothing at the Chihuahua Shop, or wherever it is that you buy your toy dog clothes, then please please PLEASE make sure you clothe your dogs responsibly and that you’re not going to make them wear dog clothes out in the sun and cause them to suffer in the heat!

Dog Clothes: Where To Shop For Them

But if you’re like the VAST majority of dog owners who dresses up her dogs in dog fashion, and you have some basic sense about this 🙂 then you probably know what I mean when I say that dog clothes are just about the coolest thing ever when it comes to shopping for your dog. Small dog clothing lets you dress up your dog and give him or her the look of your choosing, and you can have so much dog fashion fun with that. Do I say have fun with dog clothes and enjoy the entire dog clothing experience!

Puppy Boutique Shop

I’ve been to a lot of puppy boutique shops lately that sell puppy clothes and puppy supplies, but don’t really have a strong focus on any kind of puppy accessories in particular. There are chihuahua puppy boutique stores that sell chihuahua clothes and these other shops that bill themselves as puppy dog boutiques that carry costumes of many different kinds: some cheap, some that are quality, but I have yet to see a puppy store other than the Chihuahua Shop that really hones in on any particular type of puppy clothing.

When I set up the Chihuahua Shop puppy boutique, I knew I wanted it to focus on quality chihuahua clothes for puppies and toy breed dogs. I wanted a puppy boutique where you could come and find fabulous puppy clothing and puppy collars and puppy accessories, to dress up your puppy and make her look like the latest canine fashion diva dog. I wanted to create a store that I would want to come to, were I looking for a great chihuahua puppy boutique to shop.

And so that’s what I did: I found the best chihuahua clothing I could, that wasn’t exorbitantly priced, and brought it to the new puppies boutique that we now call the Chihuahua Shop puppy store. Today, this little puppy boutique carries the newest puppy collars and puppy accessories and clothing you’ll find anywhere, no matter what puppy shop or puppy boutique you walk into, in the real world, or that you shop at online.

The other chihuahua puppy boutiques I see online seem to have lost their focus: in the same puppy boutique, I have seen individual chihuahua clothes being marketed as perfect for dog agility training, for fashionable doggy cocktail parties (lol), and for keeping your dogs warm. There’s no focus.

How The Top Puppy Boutique Shops Are Different

The best puppy boutiques only stock high quality puppy accessories and puppy outfits, and these best outfits only serve one purpose, typically. Some of the puppy boutique clothes will be designed specifically for keeping your little Fido warm, and other chihuahua boutique clothing will be created for the purpose of adorning your dog in a fashion fit for a fairy tale princess or the latest fashionista super diva dog, who’s ready to strut her paws on the runway and walk like an Egyptian!

Puppy Boutique Clothes: Where Do You Find Them?

You can find these two different types of puppy clothes at the Chihuahua Shop. What you won’t find at this puppy boutique are clothes that have an identity crisis, that promise to help your dog train better for agility or in obedience classes while also making her look gorgeous and fabulous and adorable at the same time. The chihuahua puppy clothes sold at the Chihuahua Shop puppy boutique are much more focused and specific than that, I think you’ll like them, so visit the shop and see for yourself at the link, below.

Toy Dog Clothing for Chihuahuas

Ever since I first adopted my chihuahuas a few years back, I’ve had a soft spot for toy dog clothing and the chihuahua clothes I love to dress up my little doggies with. For me, small dog clothing is my favorite way of really externalizing my chihuahua’s personality for others to see and “get” immediately, and to just have my own fun with dressing her up and living in a bit of a chihuahua fantasy land! But recently, I ran into a situation at puppy training class with a new chihuahua rescue I’m fostering right now where toy dog clothes were actually getting in the way!

So this chihuahua rescue I took in a few weeks ago, he has a lot of potential to be a chihuahua superstar: he’s very attentive, he’s super obedient, and he loves wearing his toy dog outfits. So I enlisted him in puppy training classes and have been taking him three times per week to his classes with him dressed up in his chihuahua clothing.

The problem is not with my chihuahua pup or any of the other dogs: they’re all super friendly and they get along famously. This bizarre problem has to do with the other dog owners and my little chihuahua doggie’s toy dog fashion that I dress him in: his toy dog clothing is drawing too much attention from the other owners in the class and they’re actually getting distracted from the exercises we’re supposed to be doing and it’s interfering with the entire class. It’s insanity!

I go to these dog training classes with my chihuahua dressed up in his toy doggie clothing, and I almost feel like I’m trapped in a zombie movie or something with all of these people coming after me and my dog who simply can’t control themselves and keep from coming after us to touch him and talk to me! It’s insanity! Combining this little chihuahua with his tiny chihuahua dog clothes is proving to be too much for these other owners to handle! They see my little Winston in his cool toy dog apparel and it’s like gravity pulling them away from their training exercises with their own dog: they have to come over and talk to me and comment on how cute my chihuahua is in his toy dog clothing and how he reminds them of this other dog they once had, and this and that… it’s madness, I say.

I like to use chihuahua dog clothing to help dogs and people, not interfere with them, so for the last two classes, I’ve actually left my little chihuahua pup’s toy dog costumes and small dog coats off, in the car, just so that he isn’t quite as much of a draw. It’s been helping, as the other owners are doing a better job of concentrating on their work, but now my little Winston isn’t getting his training while wearing his small dog coats and his little dog clothing, which isn’t ideal because I want that association to be there. Perhaps I’ll have to dress him back up in his toy dog clothing after a few more sessions and see if the other owners can behave themselves.

I’m almost hesitant to do this because I know that whenever you dress up a chihuahua in clothing for toy dogs, it’s like giving the world an invitation to come over and touch your dog and squeal with delight and remark over how cute your doggie is! And then I have to almost get into that “alright bitch, back the f!*# away from my dog!”-mode just to stop all the commotion and continue with what I was wanting to do. I don’t like having to go there, but sometimes duty calls, you know?

Haha! Well anyways, the Chihuahua Shop has some super high quality toy dog clothing that I think you should check out if you’re into your chihuahua toy dog’s clothes and you enjoy dressing her up into that toy dog fashionista diva superstar. So head over to the Shop, check it out, and I’ll back again soon, probably with another weird story about toy dog clothing that hopefully does not involve me punching someones lights out for not giving me and my chihuahua the space we need to do our training work, after I snap, black out, and lose it. Lol. Speak soon, -Mikey

Chihuahua Dog Clothes

As someone who loves chihuahua dog clothes, I get fairly excited over almost any opportunity to dress my chihuahua dog, Namaste, up in her chihuahua dog clothes, and so when my neighbor calls me up and asks if Namaste can come over for a chihuahua play date with her doggies, I freaking jump at the chance! I grab a few of her dog clothes for chihuahua outfits, my laptop, and we’re off out the door to the neighbor’s house so our chihuahuas can play together while we visit and do some work in the same space.

A few years ago, if someone told me I’d be taking my chihuahua to go to a chihuahua dog clothing play date, I would have told them they were on crack. Nothing could have been further from my mind. But after inadvertently adopting a few chihuahuas and spending some time with them, I’ve become big softy for these little dogs and their small dog clothes, and the entire chihuahua dog fashion scene!

So anyway, this past time I took Namaste over to her chihuahua dog friend’s house to play, I dressed her up in her favorite toy dog clothes, and off she went to play while I had coffee with the other chihuahua’s owner: my friend. We got to talking about chihuahua dog clothes while our chihuahuas were there, in front of us, wearing their chihuahua clothing, and I started to wonder if we would go blind or something from doing this 😉 Luckily for us, the answer was no, and it’s a good thing because once two chihuahua dog fashion fanatics get into a conversation about small dog clothes, it takes an eternity or, in this case, the threat of some sort of natural disaster, to bring an end to that conversation.

And I kid you not: that is what it came to. I was working on my laptop while my friend was working on hers at the same table, and our chihuahua dogs were off playing together, dressed in their chihuahua dog clothing, when the tropical storm that had just been upgraded to hurricane status rolled into town with a furry, and the windows and everything started to really shake like crazy with the intense wind gust blasting against them. With all the commotion, our little pets in their dog clothes for chihuahuas started to FREAK out a bit and were coming up to us and looking at us for direction, with that “what should I do?”-look.

So, of course, being the chihuahua puppy clothes freaks that we are, we broke out their chihuahua dog thunder jackets and put them on them. I’m not sure if these chihuahua clothes actually have any magical powers anything strange like that or if it’s just some kind of placebo effect it has on our chihuahuas’ mind, but these outfits really do help our little dogs to stay more calm when the weather turns downright hostile outside. And so for them, their chihuahua doggie clothes inspired play date could continue, and they went back off into the living room to roughhouse and play and wrestle and rip around in their chihuahua clothing, having their chihuahua fun.

And that made me happy because I was able to get back to my work on the Chihuahua Shop, where we carry only very high quality chihuahua dog clothes that I would invite you to check out yourself if you love dressing up your dog in cute chihuahua clothes, and everything turned out great! Speak soon, -Mikey
