There are always two big questions when it comes time to plan a trip. What are we going to do with the dogs? and where should we go? I think I have your answer for you. If it’s not your answer, it might be mine:-) Looks like “Carmel-by-the-Sea: Dog Heaven on Earth” is where everyone will be happy. In this read you will find that they have everything covered. The hotels, restaurants, shops and galleries welcome canine companions, with some going as far as to offer special doggie menus and treats. For example one of the restaurants offers “a Quarter Hounder”. The latest addition is a drinking fountain called “The Fountain of Woof”. Here is the link to read more and plan your trip.

As you all know, Kippy is our first yorkie, but anyone who owns a yorkie knows that they are like eating cookies:-) You can’t have just one:-) For one thing, they like to play ALL the time. So unless you want to be their playmate 24/7, you remedy that right away. Well, we did that……three more times:-) Call us crazy, but this household is anything but boring. We have Lily Jean, who is absolutely adorable. She is a rescue and is as sweet as can be. Then we have Bomber Moose, who likes to keep things “rockin” around here. And our newest addition is Brassy Sue. She is very sassy and is a good match for Bomber. Kippy is often the referee when they are playing. Kippy attends most of the art fairs that we do, but if he’s unable to be there then Bomber is usually there. We just wanted you to meet the “pack”.

Lily	Brassy	Bomber

Most everyone we meet wants to know where we came up with name “Kippy & Co”. Well…….. meet Kippy. He is the inspiration behind that name. He’s a happy-go-lucky yorkie that just plain loves playing soccer and being outside. It doesn’t matter if it’s raining, snowing, or sunny. He plays soccer in any kind of weather. He’s crazy about the game!!! He’s extremely smart so sometimes we have to “spell” words because he knows what we’re talking about:-) That sounds really funny, but it’s true. He has a “sister” named Lily, a “brother” named Bomber, and we just added a fourth one to our “pack”. Her name is Brassy. Kippy’s days are filled with yorkie fun.
