My dog, Maggie, a collie mix, is quite the sassy lass. A regular doggy diva, if you will. She has no problem voicing- er, barking- her opinion on everything and expects to be loved and pampered on her terms. Yep, she’s a typical princess, and she knows it!
I’m always cracking jokes about how she really ought to have her own tiara. I’ve actually seen such a thing for dogs in stores, but never really thought I would buy one. I was never much into doggy dress-up, really. I thought all the pampering, bathing, grooming and just keeping track of her leash and collar was enough. Then, some people I know decided to throw a costume party. A pet-friendly costume party.

Animal lovers who own their own pet store, Nan and Chad thought it would be a real hoot to have this dress-up gala and invite their friends to bring their furry babies along. Of course, they hoped we’d all join in the fun, get creative and arrive with our furry friends all dressed up as well.
What the heck, I thought. Why not? Could be fun. So I went shopping. I was somewhat disappointed in the beginning, as the choice of pet costumes seemed so limited. Sure, there were some interesting ideas out there, but a lot of them were aimed at the smaller breeds or just were not what I had envisioned. My Maggie isn’t just any dog, and I wasn’t going to settle for less than what my princess deserved.

I had this image in my mind of a taffeta and tiara clad furry debutante strolling around in all her glory. Maybe a bit extreme. I don’t know. I was having fun, and she is mine to spoil, so I forged ahead.
Then, I found it! The Pretty Princess Dog Costume. Affordable and available in all sizes, this pet costume was perfect for getting my poochie ready for the ball. The dress is in 2 shades of pink with a nice gold trim along the bodice. It comes complete with “stuffed arms” for that fluffy look, a veil and tiara.

My sassy little diva was up for some extra pampering. With a perfect fit, Maggie looked beautiful, and she had no doubt about that. My sassy little diva strolled over to the mirror and admired herself once she was dressed. It was her way of saying she approved.
Maggie was a hit at the party. The belle of the ball in her new princess pet costume.
