Have you checked out the new Pattern & Paw Facebook page yet? Well you really should, not only because it’s a great place to connect with other pet lovers around the world, but also because we’re holding an exclusive fan contest where you could win the collar of your choice. Simply visit our Facebook page, become our fan, and then leave a post on the discussion board with the collar you covet most from our site. Maybe it’s a fancy cat collar, or a delish dog collar… either way, one lucky person will win it this Friday, January 2nd. I can’t think of a better way to ring in the new year than that!

So visit us on Facebook today! While you’re there, upload your pet photos or videos, connect with other Pattern & Paw fans, start a conversation about all things furry, or simply show your love by leaving a message on our wall. It’s a great place to enjoy and to connect.

This week the spotlight shines on Dixie Belle, a cute and loveable Puggle. She’s got a face that will surely make you melt.

Remember, you can submit your pet to be featured here! All featured pets will receive a *special* gift from the official spokes-paw of Pattern & Paw, Kalypso herself.

Name: Dixie Belle
Nick-Names: Dixie, Big Birtha (I’m a bit chubby)
DOB: 12/17/2005
Location: Nashville, TN
Favorite Food: Pizza, Bagels… anything carbs!
Favorite Toy: anything stuffed and squeaky
Favorite Nap Spot: my mom’s bed
I love… my mom, aunts and grandma, people food, monkey grass!
I hate… taking baths, riding in the car, big scary dogs
Special Skills: My mom and I moved from New York City in March. Since in NY my mom had to take the subway a lot, I developed a very very unique super power. The minute my mom puts a tote bag in front of me, I will jump in it, ready for my new adventure. This is quite a feat as I am not a little dog… I am 27 pounds!
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: Pink Cupcake Mid-Size Dog Collar – I always get compliments at the dog park!
Anything else special about your pet? I won the pet Halloween costume contest at my mom’s work. .. I don’t play with balls because that’s what dogs do.. and I am a princess J oh.. and I love my roommate Jackson, except when he bites my ears…

P&P Stylist Says…
Dixie knows she has style, so she definitely needs a collar that shows it. Compliment her girlish charm with the Ambrosia Argyle Mid-Size Dog Collar or the super sassy stripes of the Truffle Mid-Size Dog Collar. We also think that the subtle, but not overly girly lavender stripes in the Iris Mid-Size Dog Collar would play nicely with her city girl looks.
