Hi Natalie. I am quite new to the group. My name is Joan and I live in North Las Vegas, NV. I have two Chihuahuas Dolly Dee is a fawn female and is 2 ½ and Desi Lou is a chocolate tri male and is 1 ½. They are both the joy of my life. Yes I do dress them everyday. It started out as a way to keep Dolly from shaking all the time and then I also learned that the clothes protect them from getting skin cancer and they look so adorable dressed up too!
I read your message and I went to your Facebook page. I didnt see anything on your facebook page that made me think that you ask people to be your friends so that they can buy dog clothes. I saw your website name and I went to your site. I enjoyed looking at the clothes. I also understand that if you are using a business email address that many do that all the time so that all the emails can be read together. I didnt friend you yesterday because I had a million things to do, but I just may go there today. I look forward to seeing more posts from you, and I think that being your Facebook friend that I will learn more about you and your dogs.

No worries. I've only posted one other time and that was back in the summmer of '09 when I was debating on adding a Chi to my family. Since then I've added a Chi and enjoy reading everyone's posts about theirs. I'm more of a sit back, read and learn kind of member vs. an active poster. It was never my intention to solicit, but I wouldn't complain if I made more Facebook friends :) <http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif> . Even on The Plush Paw Facebook page there is more fun than advertising. I am a HUGE animal lover and love to see others pictures and interactions. I understand about items being "pricey", but it's a reflection of the name brands that I carry and their MSRP's. I run frequent sales and also extend manufacturer sales too. I have contests and prizes on my Facebook page as well as Facebook only sales. It's not easy competing with the big retailers, but I love doing it and enjoy going to trade shows/conventions to hand select the best quality and styling that the pet industry has to offer :) <http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif> . I'm also a member of a Papillion Yahoo group because I also have a Pap (Zoey). Ginger and Zoey are best of buddies!! As I type they are playing tag :) <http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif> . I don't have children except for the furry and feathered kind, and the joy and love I share with them is IMMENSE!! Anyway, I'll post a picture of Ginger, Zoey and Bailey (Calico Kitty) shortly, so you can see my babies :) <http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif> ~ Natalie <http://www.facebook.com/ThePlushPaw> http://www.facebook.com/ThePlushPaw --- In [email protected], Carol Smet <mychimomma@...> wrote: > > Hi!
