Swiss hunde fashion

Meet 'Czarna' the gorgeous Swiss dog who lives with Beatrice's parents. She joined us for a family dinner at Beatrice & Tjeerd's apartment.

Note the booties. Each one has a special grip surface that prevents her paws slipping on the wooden and tiled floors. Czarna isn't keen on wearing booties (how humiliating) but if it means she gets invited for dinner then she's up for it.

At Aunty Beatrice's house she has a choice of three mats (there are two visible in the pic below and the third is a palatial deep fluffy basket in the master bedroom) plus a selection of soft toys.

Steve has finally accepted that maybe - just maybe - my dogs are NOT the most pampered pooches on the planet.

(Phew. Maybe I can sneak in a trip to the hunde shop without him noticing...)
