Holidays coming? A new collar (or more?) may be in order

By Donna Littlejohn on December 8, 2010 6:27 PM | | Comments (0) |
For those of us with dogs who are simply too big (or dignified) to pull off the cutesy Christmas sweater look, we can do wonders with the humble collar.

There is an abundance of holiday collars on the market these days, from the silly to the sophisticated. Does your pet favor (and can you afford) some high-end bling? Check out the story about Sanderella in Beverly Hills.

But for most of us, holiday accessories must remain on the more modest side. Among the selection out there this year: rhinestones and ribbon-like prints featuring snowmen, Peanuts characters, reindeer, Santa Claus, ginger bread men, candy canes, Christmas trees and holly. 

And bells. 

We've gone with red jingle bell collars for the last several years. Cute but understated. The collars are leather and hold up well from year to year. And we sound like a team of reindeer when we go on leash walks through the neighborhood.

But it's not all about us. 

Send us photos of your pet's holiday get-up this year -- sweaters, collars, reindeer antlers, other accessories? 

We'll post them here and your dog or cat will be either famous or humiliated for life. 

Be sure to include a few lines about your pet with the email.

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
