A puppy has been born in Japan with a large, clear, love-heart-shaped pattern in his coat. The Chihuahua was born in May as one of a litter to a breeder. She had no plans to sell the puppy, which has been named ‘Heart-kun’. The long-coated male .

Yes – that is our bulldog, Samson and yes – he is dressed in a military uniform. Now, before you drag me to the crazy dog lady institution, please let me explain. A while ago, my husband mentioned out of the blue how cool it’d be to have our English bully painted in a British military uniform.  To this day… I still have no idea where this vision of Steve’s came from, but when .

Even though I’m not a coffee drinker, these heartfelt t.v. spots for Starbucks warmed my heart.  (it doesn’t hurt that the sweet sound of Badly Drawn Boy’s song, I love N.Y.E. is playing in the background) okay… maybe I could go for a steaming chai latte:)

samson helps out at the studio
I brought our bully, Samson to the studio this past Friday to entertain our staff while I finished up designing the rest of my 2008 designs. He was eager to help our shipper, Natalie pull some wholesale orders. That is until he found an empty wrapping paper roll to run around with.

Steve and I made our way to one of our favorite fall stops, Parmenter’s Northville Cider Mill, this weekend.  And since we were so close to Lorla’s, I couldn’t resist sneaking a peek of her latest collection of fancy footwear. I ended up going home with these cuties.  Samson agreed… they looked delicious on my tootsies.
