This week’s Pet of the Week is gorgeous Bella, a beauty of a black lab that might as well be a model. She’s so pretty, and she’s got a fab collection of Pattern & Paw collars to boot – she’s one stylish pooch!

Name: Bella Brown (female, Black Lab)
DOB: July 2007
Location: Emporia, VA
Favorite Food: ANY type of treat & anything she can convince you to drop from your plate
Favorite Toy: “flying squirrel” frisbee, squeaky tennis balls, floating water toy
Favorite Nap Spot: on the couch resting on someone’s lap
I love… catching the Frisbee, swimming, running fits, acting like I’m going to give you a toy then taking it away at the last minute.
I hate… getting my nails done, the rinsing part of a bath, the dreaded slicker brush, not getting the attention I deserve.
Special Skills: fast swimming, diving off the dock, catching basically anything in the air
Anything else special about your pet? Quips, stories, etc.?: had a moment of weakness and chewed part of the wall and the floor when she was still a puppy
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: Posy Polka Dot Big Dog Collar, but just started sporting an Ashley Argyle Big Dog Collar, also have the Aqua Dot Big Dog Collar and Filigree Big Dog Collar.

P&P Stylist Says…
Bella is a black beauty. Lucky her, anything goes with black! She’s got plenty of options as far as collars (though we do have to say she’s got quite the collection already!). We think the bold black and violet dots in the Mod Violet Dots Big Dog Collar would look just smashing on her – for a truly stand-out look! Or for something a bit less avante garde and more preppy, the lime green and hot pink in the Prep Hearts Big Dog Collar might be just her style. And finally, make the most of the dog days of summer with a gorgeous bold summery stripe of Tahiti Stripe Big Dog Collar… against the rich black of her fur would look simply stunning!

This week’s Pet of the Week is a local boy, Bentley, who may just have the cutest little face we seen this side of the Mississippi. He’s got a heart of gold and a coat to match! Let’s learn a little bit more about him, shall we?

Name: Bentley
Nick-Names: B
DOB: October 8, 2008
Location: Nashville, TN
Favorite Food: Anything but my own food.
Favorite Toy: I absolutely love my stuffed cow…I drag it around everywhere. I tore the ears off of it the first day I got him. I also love socks, water bottles, and my bone chips.
Favorite Nap Spot: Anywhere beside my mom.
I love… barking, playing with friends, and running in the grass.
I hate… being combed, taking baths, and when my mom leaves me.
Special Skills: I can let myself out of the bathroom in less than one minute. I can also give kisses!
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: Catalina Striped Toy Dog Collar

P&P Stylist Says…
We can’t resist little dogs. Especially when it comes to outfitting them in their perfect collar, we just love it. For boyish Bentley, we think the Cyan Bias Stripe Toy Dog Collar would be right up his alley. Just manly enough for this boy, yet still completely adorable at the same time. Since the 4th of July is coming up, why not let Bentley show his sailor side in the patriotic Nautical Stripe Toy Dog collar? And finally, for those days that just scream for polka dots, the Pool Party Polka Dot Toy Dog Collar is fun and lively without being girly (as polka dots often tend to be).

This week our featured pet is Stella, a beautiful blond lady from down south. We saw photos of Stella when she was just a wee-one, and now she’s grown enough to fit in one of our Big Dog collars! They grow up too fast, I tell you… however, in Stella’s case, she’s just as cute now as ever.

Name: Stella (Female, Golden Retriever) – named after Stella Artoi Beer
Nick-Names: Princess, Fatty
DOB: 1/4/2009
Location: Fayetteville, North Carolina
Favorite Food: Anything off someone else’s plate – Peanut Butter, Salmon, Chips
Favorite Toy: Mommy’s shoes, whatever’s plugged into the wall, chair legs, towels, and her stuffed animal golden retriever
Favorite Nap Spot: next to the water bowl or on the bathroom floor
I love… TO EAT! hiking is fun too… loves making friends with all dogs and people
I hate… baths
Special Skills: knowing just when to pick up my toy and run away
Super Power(s): she is why they call them “puppy dog eyes” – Daddy had never had a dog before Stella, and she has him wrapped around her paw.
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: anything! But currently sporting Bubblegum Big Dog Collar and matching leash.
Anything else special about your pet? She ate a full sized toad the other night in one bite… it was an interesting experience.

P&P Stylist Says…
We’ve got a thing for blonds. Especially those with eyes like Stella. We also love daddies that are not afraid to put their girls in pink! The preppy lady that she is, we think Stella would look darling in our Amelie Argyle Big Dog Collar. For days when she’s more devil than preppy little angel, the sassy pink stripes in our Diva Stripe Big Dog Collar might be more fitting. And because a girl can never have too many collars, the Pop Flowers Big Dog Collar would be a perfect addition to her collection. Too sweet.

This week our featured pet is Gomi, a cute and fuzzy bichon frise who loves long naps on the bed and gazing longingly out the window. She’s a cutie alright, and we’re loving getting to know more about her.

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: Gomi (Female, Bichon Frise)
Nick-Names: Gom, Gomster
DOB: July 1, 2007
Location: Streamwood, IL
Favorite Food: Anything I can get my paws on!
Favorite Toy: My stuffed blue ball and my froggie.
Favorite Nap Spot: My mom’s bed.
I love… looking out the window, taking naps in the sun, playing catch, chewing on socks and playing with my friends.
I hate… taking baths.
Special Skills: I’m a small dog with a loud bark.
Super Power(s): Looking super cute all the time!
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: Bramble Toy Small Dog Collar
Anything else special about your pet? On our front doorknob, we hung a bell. One day, we hear the bell jingle. We looked around to see where that noise was coming from and realize it was the bell on the front door. Gomi was sitting in front of door. She rang the bell! From that day on, she rings the bell, telling us she needs to go out.

P&P Stylist Says…
Gomi is one lucky pup. Being white, she has the ability to match anything. The dog collar possibilities are endless for her! Gomi is more of a sophisticate, as shown by her choice of the Bramble Striped Toy Dog Collar. We think the chic stripes of the Lauderdale Toy Dog Collar would be just her style. On days where she’s feeling a bit more playful, the bold colors of the Petal Striped Toy Dog Collar would add cheer to even the cloudiest day (not that Gomi’s sweet face alone wouldn’t have the same effect). If she’s got a spot for some dots, the designer colors in the Cocoa Princess Polka Dot Toy Dog Collar might be just the right mix of sassy and chic that she needs.

This week our featured pet is Darla, an adorable little lady with a heart as long as her belly!

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: Darla
Nick-Names: Bunnybutt, Dar Dar (my nephew calls her that), Princess Swishy Butt, DarlaDog (complete with her own theme song)
DOB: May 22, 2006
Location: Imperial Beach, CA
Favorite Food: Anything—Corgis are chowhounds!!! But she especially loves tomatoes (even plucking them from Daddy’s plants in the backyard to snack on in the house) and apples and whatever you are eating!
Favorite Toy: She loves her long purple doggy until she decides to tear him apart to find that darn squeaker!
Favorite Nap Spot: In her crate
I love… playing in the water, belly rubs, running on the beach and wrestling with her Schnoodle sister, Jazzy
I hate… cats that come into her yard and the mailman
Special Skills: Hearing every single sound that our neighbors make and alerting us by chuffling or barking loudly, whenever anyone sits cross legged on the floor she will leap into their lap because Daddy has her trained to do that (kind of embarrassing when she does that to strangers on the beach!), and disarming everyone she meets with her Corgi cuteness!
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: Candy Mod Mid-size Dog Collar (it fits her girly style!)
Anything else special about your pet? I was always a cat person until my husband gave me Darla for my birthday two years ago and it was love at first sight! She is such a cuddle bug and always make me smile! My favorite thing to do is kiss the top of her head between her ears and sniff her cornchip doggy smell! My friend think I am nuts!

P&P Stylist Says…
Darla is a cutie. And needs a collar to match! Show the world how sweet she is with the Ambrosia Pink and Brown Argyle Mid-Size Dog Collar. For days when she’s feeling a bit more punk, a pop of purple would pump her up (and match her favorite toy). Try the Jazz Lilac and Black Polka Dot Dog Collar for something a bit out of the ordinary. And because all girls need to be pampered, our Truffle Stripe Mid-Size Dog Collar is sweet enough you can practically eat it (though don’t tell that to Darla – she just might try!)

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.

Pattern & Paw’s featured pet this week is adorable Abby, the beautifully colored Yellow lab from Florida, whose sweet face is oh so hard to resist.

We have to say, she’s got quite the sense of style!

Name: Abby
Nick-Names: shmabby
DOB: 5/26/04
Location: Boca Raton, FL
Favorite Food: carmel rice cakes
Favorite Toy: baseballs
Favorite Nap Spot: all couches
I love… to go for a ride in the car
I hate… water! (can you believe that?)
Special Skills: being very cute and lovable.
Super Powers: Super Sense of Smell, Super Speed and Super High-Pitched Bark
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: We choose color according to season. She totally loves putting on a new collar.. because we all tell her how pretty she is. It is big time excitement for her.
Anything else special about your pet? She was one of 13 puppies, her mother was a Black Lab and mysteriously died several days after giving birth. The puppies were put into puppies under protection and on the internet for adoption. Abby was the only yellow female, she had one yellow brother the rest were black like their mom.We feel very blessed to have her she is a joy! (especially now that she longer chews everything.)

P&P Stylist Says…
Abby is a pretty lady for sure, and needs a collar to showcase that! We think the pretty pink and brown hues of the Ambrosia Argyle Big Dog Collar would suite her stunningly. For more formal attire, try out the elegant Black & White Filigree Big Dog Collar, perfect for any black tie affair. She obviously loves pink, and we think the Chickadee Pink Stripe Big Dog Collar is a sweetly feminine stripe that would look just adorable on this precious pooch.

We have a soft spot for Dachshund, especially dappled ones like today’s featured pet: Bluebell! She’s a cutie patootie who loves to smile, and loves her Pattern & Paw collars.

While she might be part Dalmatian in her mind, she’s 100% loveable in ours.

Name: Miss BlueBell
Nick-Names: Belle
DOB: May 21st, 2008
Location: I was born in Sevierville, TN, but now I live in Nashville with my mom, dad, and my uncles Theran and Adam.
Favorite Food: I love all food. I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite.
Favorite Toy: I haven’t lost all my baby teeth yet, so I love chomping on my rawhide stick.
Favorite Nap Spot: On a lap
I love… getting belly rubs.
I hate… sharing my toys!
Special Skills: I do a really cool ballerina twirl on my hind legs when I get excited!
Super Powers: Super Sense of Smell, Super Speed and Super High-Pitched Bark
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: The first one I ever got was the Mystic Blue Dots because it matches my blue eye. Now I also have a pretty pink Candy Mod because people kept calling me a boy!
Anything else special about your pet? I have two different colored eyes, one is brown and the other is blue. People tell me all the time that they love my spots! I have spots because I’m a dapple, but I usually just tell them it’s because I’m part dalmatian.

P&P Stylist Says…
There is no shortage of collar choices that would look lovely on Miss Bluebell. She’s got a great color to her, both her coat and her eye(s). We understand that blue collars, while looking stunning with her blue eye, will cause people to assume this girly girl is a boy, and pink is a definite solution for that. Why not get a little pink AND blue with the Baby Argyle Toy Dog Collar or the adorable Jubilee Polka Dots Toy Dog Collar? We also love the petite flowers (blue, yes, but still feminine) of the Larkspur Blue Flowers Toy Dog Collar, and think they’d suit this sweet girl perfectly.

This week’s featured pet is an adorable yellow lab named Belle, who loves the water almost as much as she loves her stylish Pattern & Paw collars.

Anything else special about your pet? I love to dive off the docks at lakes and I am an extremely FAST SWIMMER!

P&P Stylist Says…
Belle is like a beautiful swimsuit model. We love her beautiful blond locks, and her love for the water is very obvious. We think she’d look lovely in our popular Pink Cupcake Dots Big Dog Collar, the pink lets her show off her girly side. Or let her showcase her love of all things water with the Pink Flip Flops Big Dog Collar. And after a long day at the beach, she’ll need something sophisticated for the evening. Why not the stylish Pink Vertigo Stripes Big Dog Collar? With those glamorous vertical stripes, she’ll truly be the Belle of the ball!

When we received this in our email box last week, we couldn’t help but smile. This week’s Pet of the Week, Hoji, is seriously the coolest. cat. ever. His name is Hoji, he’s one of our favorite Pattern & Paw groupies, and, well, once you see his pictures you’ll see exactly why he’s being featured here this week. Awesome.

Name: Hoji-Cha (Hoji for short.)
Nick-Names: Hojuluh, Hoji-Man, Hoji-Boy, Hoji-ManBoy
DOB: 8-8-06
Location: Orange County, California
Favorite Food: Science Diet: Chicken & Liver.
Favorite Toy: Rolled up paper! Especially tissue paper.
Favorite Nap Spot: On top of the entertainment unit, under a lightbulb.
I love… Laying in the sun, being carried outside, when my forehead wrinkles are rubbed, sitting on my humans’ backs.
I hate… Other cats, baths, nail clippings.
Special Skills: BEING ABLE TO OPEN DOORS, playing tag, almost-fetching, not having fur, talking.
Super-Power(s): Super Speed, Super Lack-of-Hairballs, Super-Hearing.
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: Green and Blue Argyle! It compliments my eyes. [He has 6, though. Apple Argyle, Black Skulls, Pink Zebra Stripes, Candy AND Berry Mod, and the Red Bandana print.]
Anything else special about your pet? Other than the fact that he’s HAIRLESS, Hoji uses Pattern and Paw collars EXCLUSIVELY!

P&P Stylist Says…
Hoji has the distinct advantage of being hairless. And unlike the many cats plagued with inches of fluff that seem to obscure even the brightest collars, Hoji’s hairless neck shows off any collar beautifully. Which is obvious if you’ve seen his collar collection. (Some women have shoes… Hoji has collars.) That doesn’t however, mean that he can’t have even more.

We love Hoji’s bright green eyes. Since he’s obviously a rebel, we think the Ahoy Lime Green Skulls Cat Collar would suit him just perfectly. We also love the fact that he’s a man that is proud to wear pink… he’d love our Party Dots Cat Collar… just enough pink to be cool. Feeling festive? Why not get Hoji ready for Christmas with the Jolly Stripes Cat Collar… ho-ho-hoji!
