We have discovered a great way to keep our pets out of trouble. This high chair (better known as a sassy seat for some of us) lets your pet sit next to you while you work, read, dine or surf the Web. When I accidentally stumbled upon this, I thought to myself “girlfriend!!! you have just found the best idea for keeping track of the little fur blob”. This chair works extremely well when potty training. It conveniently attaches to any table top surface.  It’s the cheapest babysitter I’ve found yet:-) It’s easy to tote as it folds flat. I love it!!! I use mine when I do art fairs as it takes up little space and keeps my “fur kids” up where I can see them.

To get your “fur kid” a “sassy seat” go to

Now that Christmas is over, I would have to say that the 4 fur kids in this household all believe in Santa. They were asking me if Santa is a human or if he is ~ you know ~ one of them. And of course some of the fur kids left dog bones for Santa and some left cookies ~ both of which were gone. Sooooo believers they are!!!! Something that was totally unexpected was a Wish list from Santa himself. He loves the leather collars that the fur kids here are wearing and noticed that they are all handmade. He had more questions about HOW they are made and I was able to tell him about “our” workshop and how the leather collars here are made with tools that were used to make mens’ leather belts back in the 1930’s. Nothing on the collars is done with a machine. The crystals and everything that these collars are embellished with are all hand set so the pressure is different on every crystal, concho, heart, stud, spike etc. That is what everyone ~ including Santa ~ loves about the leather collars that the fur kids at this house wear. Make sure you check them out on the kippyandco.com website. You will be in love with them too!!!

I don’t know about your house, but mine is barkin’ about halloween and what fun it’s going to be. Everyone has their costume and they have tried them on multiple times. Waiting anxiously for the day to arrive and taking turns “posing” for the classic photo that we take every year. When I was growing up, we would have never thought of dressing up our family dog. I keep thinking back to the show “Green Acres” and how Zsa Zsa dressed up her yorkie. My gosh!!!! The woman was ahead of her time!!! I’m not exactly sure what she dressed her dog in for halloween, but I’m sure she didn’t have the choices that we have. There are Yoda costumes, Inmate costumes, various insects, Superheroes, as well as the traditional scary witches and Dracula costumes. The ideas are endless…..comparable to purses and shoes. But, getting back to what we were originally barkin’ about…..Kippy is a football player, Bomber is a lion, Brassy Sue is a bumble bee. Happy Howl-O-ween to you!!!
