I am bringing Tino and possibly transporting Dolly’s male with me. Since they are not familiar with each other and would be confided for a few hours together, a divider was the way to go. Thank you so much Shelly for letting me borrow yours for the test drive – This thing is PERFECT!!!

With our 4 Berth Trolley being large enough to house Breezy the Whippet as well as two small dogs, Alexis can use the 4 Berth and I can use the new Mini! It takes both of us to load ad unload the 4 berth but I can pack up and load the mini all by myself! LOVE THATQ I can’t wait to test the theory out in two weeks. You just know I will be reporting back with the results! and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU KIM! It’s perfect!

The Living World Pet Carrier is the perfect solution for transporting tiny puppies as well as tiny dogs. The top lifts up for easy access and the vented sides are a perfect touch. I have only been able to find it in the large and small sizes. I used the Large to transport our tiny boy the other day but that’s only because the SnuggleSafe heating pad would fit into it – I needed to keep him warm. Ideally. I would have used the small one, a more suitable size for him if I could. The large will be perfect to transport the litter once they are bigger as well as when we need to transport Olive and Dewey!

And when Barbie was whelping her puppies, I heated that sucker up and placed it under towels not he opposite side of the whelping box so that they could still be within her sights but also war and cozy. I SWEAR by it!

As a woman pushed her trolley passed me I couldn’t help but notice her cup holder. I so wish I had gotten her name so I could personally thank her for sharing the information and idea. It’s a cup holder for baby stroller and she got it at Babys R Us. Admittedly, she herself got the idea from someone else but now I am here to share with all – You can get these drink and snack holders on Amazon! But it comes with a warning. Apparently they have been discontinued so you best pick yours up before they are gone!

I love the idea that you can hold a cup on one side and in the snack holder you can put nuts or chips for the humans or your bait for the dogs! I got one for each handle – I can’t wait to try them out in Deland!

Boomer gets tired less than a minute into grooming him for a show. He plops his butt right down and we spend the rest of the session fighting him to get him to stand back up. A tool like this could potentially shave a lot of time off of the process. So not only did I buy one for Boomer but I bought one for the Chi’s too. Georgie to be exact, since the bum is also whee I devote a lot of time.

They arrived today and WE ARE IN LOVE!!! Alexis immediately wanted to try it out it out on his brush out and it did exactly what was promised – Kept him standing. Now, he was able to get it to move when standing on the towel we had placed on the grooming table. Once we had him and the Stand N Groom on the rubber mat, they didn’t do anywhere!

I can’t wait to try the Mini on George this weekend. In the meantime, I can announce that the Small is the perfect size for Boomer. If you have a sitter , I would totally recommend these!!!!

The other new addition is one that finding low cost, pet friendly hotel made me research.  I have been caught with my pants down when I arrive at reserved hotels. They SAY they have refrigerators but when I get to the room they ran out or the website listed incorrect information. As much as a microwave is nice, the fridge is a must for the bait.

I called the hotel we are staying at this weekend and as I was about to pull out f the driveway for the 3 hour direct,only to find out – No Fridge or microwave as listed. Within 20 minutes, I found the solution at Best Buy… An Insignia 1.7 Cubic Foot compact refrigerator for $99.00! Small enough to load right into the car and take along with us. Perfect!

Finding a model that could house a Pug – possibly two – and at a minimum, two Chihuahuas was the goal. Initially I thought the mini 4-berth would work. I didn’t like the fact that Boomer’s head touched the top while he was in it. If he is going to live in this area all day at a show, I want to have the most room and comfort possible. We moved up to the regular 4-berth model that came in a shimmering purple – L O V E!  Even though it is bit taller and the compartments are large enough for three Chihuahuas, I  am more comfortable with the living quarters. It is a little heavier but between Alexis and I, we could pick it up together. We went with the show special that included the skirt and grooming arm, picking it up after Best in Show.

So far s GREAT! The dogs were escorted out of the show sight to the car to then drove to the hotel. One thing I never even thought about was how we could use it to unpack our stuff  and bringing it into our room! OMG! Instead of a gazillion little trips to and from the car, we loaded all of our stuff into the trolley, brought it to the room and then went back and got the dogs. AMAZING! That alone made it the best dog show purchase EVER! I will add to my review the more we use it this weekend. Look for my updates!

For $50.00, it is still an awesome opportunity to get a dog show must-have and a fabulous price!

While at TJ Maxx, I found them in Red, Green and Chocolate Stripe for…are your ready?…. $39.99!!! YES!  Forty buckaroos! I couldn’t believe it! I grabbed two in red and will have them embroidered later. DEAL OF THE CENTURY!!!!
