Stylish puppy accessories

I love my Chacos; they are the best sandals ever made. I use them for hiking and rafting and moving and everything else. This is not to mention my second pair, which are flip flops (which I also hike in). Who couldn't use a pair of flip flips with perfect arches on top of boot tread soles?

Anyhow, I discovered one day that Chaco makes dog accessories. Believe that I immediately added such things to my Christmas list. Come Christmas morning, my pups were outfitted with Chaco collars and new leashes. Both are made of the same webbing that we use for rock climbing anchors. Super strong stuff in cool colors. Virtually unbreakable (not sure if it is chewable). No one at the dog park has seen such cool collars before, which is not surprising, since Chaco is a Colorado company frequented by active outdoors-type people, and this isn't exactly the most outdoorsy place in America.









I find that the longer I am away from home, the more I retreat and take comfort in things that remind me of my previous life, like my outdoorsy clothing and music and books and flip flops. The Chaco dogwear are like little badges of West Coast outdoor coolness, and make me happy (and my dogs look good).

I bet Miss Daisy would look pretty spiffy in one of those. Too bad they aren't advanced enough to have those up here!
