Do Tell: How Much Thought Did You Give to Dog Breed?
It's time again for confessions from PetSugar: Remember when I thought North was surely dying when he had a reverse sneezing attack?! Well, before my pup even joined my life, I spent a full year thinking (OK, obsessing) over getting a dog – I was living in a non-pet-friendly place and it really kept me going 'til I was ready to move. I did quite of bit of research, volunteering at a shelter, speaking with breeders, and cornering dog owners, but the Boston that inspired me most still sticks out in my mind.
Big Dogs or Small Dogs?
While I made my choice for a Boston Terrier partially based on apartment space, I can think of breeds both big and small that I love. I have friends that strongly identify as "big dog" or "small dog" people – and frequently turn their noses up (or down) at the other – how about you?

Out and About: D.O.G. Pet Boutique
Late last week I got an urgent phone call from a close college friend. She was in LA on her move back from Colombia leaving that evening on her way to DC for work.

PetSugar to the Rescue! Hoodies For the Big (Girly) Dogs
So often it can seem like the cute canine clothing is limited to those lil pets under 20 pounds. It can be rather confusing to look at sizes online as, what's an XL to one company could be a pooch of 25 pounds where as to another XL is a pup of over 100. The best way to guarantee fit is to see the item in person or when companies list weights and measurements for their apparel.
