Chihuahua Outfits - Written By: ...my dog?

I got home today to find this weird post about chihuahua outfits on my blog that I didn't authorize...  I'm not sure what to make of this, lol, check it out:

I'll have to investigate this further... it's very strange!

Cheap Dog Clothes for Chihuahuas on Craigslist

For those of you who like finding great deals on cheap dog clothes, make sure you check this out: http://reno.craigslist.org/pet/2464157067.html

"7 PIECES OF BABY GIRL CHIHUAHUA CLOTHES AND OUTFITS. THEY ARE SIZE XXS OR XS AND CAN FIT UP TO 3 POUNDS. ALL IN EXCELLANT CONDITION. ALL 7 OUTFITS FOR $15!"

In fact, if you're interested in finding any kind of dog or pet clothing for just a little money, I really recommend searching around on Craigslist and eBay because there truly are some great finds. It can take a bit of time to find them, but often times you can find dog owners with old clothes still in good shape that they want to get rid of, who live right in your own city! You can find these people, go see them for yourself, and then decide if you like the little dog clothes and perhaps even try them on your little pooch.

It's a great way to find good deals on these outfits, so have a look for yourself!

Chihuahua Sweaters for Little Dogs

Chihuahua sweaters have got to be one of the most functional pieces of dog clothing you can pick up for your little chihuahua.

If you have chihuahuas of your own, then you're undoubtedly aware of how much these little buggers shiver and shake. You can be in the hottest country on the planet, but a few minutes inside of an air conditioned room or under a fan, and your little chiwawa poochy will be cold and shaking like crazy! 

Am I right?

I have two of my own, and by far, they wear their chihuahua sweaters more than any other piece of chihuahua clothing I have for them. If you're looking for a chihuahua sweater for your own little dog, then just check out the chihuahua clothes store right there. They have a great selection of quality sweaters for little pups, and they provide great service.

Until next time my fellow chihuahua owners, keep those little dogs warm!

Crazy-Expensive Dog Products

Continuing on with Luxury week in chihuahua clothing, I decided to take a peek today at some extremely expensive things you can buy for your dog: http://www.incrediblethings.com/lists/14-ridiculously-expensive-pet-products/

Got a spare three grand lying around for a gold thread dog pillow? How about a dog throne for only 1K? 

Or how about 4.2 million for a tiara for your dog? Seems reasonable, no? Haha!

Honestly, I would ridicule, but whatever. If you have the money and you want to spend it on your dog, why not? People are going to ridicule these products, those who make them, and the people who buy them; but frankly, people almost always buy what they FEEL like buying, not what makes sense. This is almost always the case, actually.

I don't think any little dogs out there would really care about any of this stuff, but if you're an owner and you like to live in that fantasy world with your dog and make-believe and all that fun role-playing stuff, then knock yourself!--have fun with it. You only live once.

Freaky Ways That Dog Owners Pamper Their Pooches

Continuing from the designer dog clothes post of last time, today I'm going to show you some of the other ways dog owners find to blow money on pampering their chihuahuas and other little dogs on insane, ridiculous contraptions!

I present you with exhibit A: http://www.neatorama.com/2010/05/06/preposterous-pet-pampering-products-and-services/

"Remember how people used to teach their dog not to beg at the table? This pup high chair mocks your concepts of table manners and good conversation."

I'm a fan of taking care of my dogs, of pampering my dogs and treating them once in a while, but this is a little off the deep end, no? There's a line between showing your dog some love and being the freakshow pet owner cliche, and these are almost unanimously on the latter side of that line! Have a look at the link above for yourself when you need a laugh!

Expensive Designer Dog Clothing

Taking a little deviation from the small world of chihuahua clothes, I want to take a look at the pricey world of designer dog clothes over the next few days.

Today, we start with this: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-hottest-designer-dog-clothing

Diamond coat: $5,084

I thought my dog had it good!--these dogs truly live like royalty. And the kicker is that these aren't even that expensive compared to some of the dog clothes I've seen recently, being sold today.  It's insanity!  But for those who have an ocean of both money AND love for their little doggies, no expense can be spared, apparently!

Stay tuned for tomorrow!

Cheap Chihuahua Dresses

Those who follow the chihuahua clothes blog know we like cheap dog clothes. Well recently, we wrote a piece on chihuahua dresses and talked about where you can find them. What we didn't include was this store here:  http://www.tinypawspuppydogs.com/Boutique_store.html    where you can find some little dog dresses for very cheap by the looks of things:

For the record, I've never bought a chihuahua dress from these folks, but they look alright and I am damn impressed with how cheap they're managing to sell these little adorable dog dresses for!

So have a look if you're searching for a good dress for your chi!

Chihuahua Riding A Tortoise

Having launched the chihuahua clothes store a few days ago, we've been receiving a lot of email from people. Someone sent me this funny video of an applehead chihuahua riding on the back or a 20 year-old tortoise!

I'm not usually one to indulge in these weird, funny little dog videos, but I thought this was too cute to not pass along and I think you'll like it.  Just make sure you turn the volume on your machine before watching it because it's rather loud! 

I have no idea what the deal is with this chihuahua-turtle combo, but they're quite the team, even if the chihuahua is scared and wonder wtf is happening. Lol. He looks too cute in his chihuahua clothing and standing perched on the back of the tortoise's shell...  Hope you enjoy this one!

Dog Clothes... for Humans!

Ok, this is a little too weird to pass up: http://www.jkzswd.com/s/dog+costumes+for+humans.  I normally write about clothes for chihuahuas and dogs in general, but this time the shoe is on the other foot and we're looking at dog costumes for humans, lol!

Check it out:

Freaked out?--yeah, me too.  I don't know where they come up with the ideas for this dog clothing on people insanity, but they have got to give me the name of their dealer because it has to be some good stuff... haha!

Speak soon, my fellow chihuahua clothing lovers. Hope you get a laugh from this one!

Chihuahua Fashion - A Freakshow Institution

Chihuahua fashion has always been a bit of a nutty institution. You have the adorable little dogs--who are sometimes quite aggressive and nippy--wearing these little cute costumes; and then you have the freaky owners with the high pitched "OH MY GOSH!!!" voices and screaming at other owners and their little doggies with an almost psychotic enthusiasm for little dog clothing.

And now, apparently there is even luxury chihuahua clothing that sells for $3000 a pop, or a crystal-studded chihuahua dress!

It seems the fashion world for little dogs is thriving and healthier than ever! As a sucker for these little clothes, this seems good news for my little pooches, and bad for my wallet!

Speak soon, chihuahua clothing aficionados!

$3000 Chihuahua Dress from Swarovski

I thought my little dog's chihuahua clothing was nice, and then I saw this: http://www.chihuahuaclothes.co/swarovskichihuahuafashion

 ...using over 3,000 Swarovski crystals in over 30 colors. Small dog fashion has reached new heights with this unique handmade doggie dress.  Susan applies each Swarovski crystal by hand using tweezers; among them are butterflies and flowers delicately sewn on, using French Knots, placed on Swarovski crystal fabric mesh. When the sun or direct light hits this dress "Bling" never had it so good. 

I've known a lot of dog owners with chihuahua that were spoiled, but I have yet to meet a chihuahua quite THIS spoiled! I hope I run into someone in L.A. on my trip next month who has one of these! It would be a chihuahua fashion spectacle, to be sure!
