Happy New Year from Gracie and Lola!

Gracie and Lola are stopping by to wish you Happy New Year!

I found festive New Year headbands at the Dollar Spot at Target. Getting them to ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ (both the headbands and the girls) is a real trick and takes a lot of treats.

Let’s Get Fizzy . . .

and NYE.

The NYE headband lasted about 10 minutes before the initials popped off. . .

I spied this Happy New Year fascinator at Party City when I was picking up edible glitter stars for New Year’s Eve Popcorn Party Mix.

The feathers on it, a perfect match for Lola’s flyaway hair on her ears. . .

For such a happy and playful little dog, she takes posing for treats very seriously. ;)

Happy New Year from Gracie and Lola. . .

Wishing you a Sparkling New Year in 2019 with plenty of treats!

    Well, this is just too adorable. FRAMERS all of them. The picture of Lola under “the feathers on it, a perfect match….” is hilarious. She looks like she’s had a wee bit too much bubble & fizz!! They both are precious.

    Happy 2019 Mary, Gracie & Lola! The fascinator is precious & Lola looks like a party girl. Gracie is so prim & proper & those eyes looking up at you just melts your heart! 💕 The sweaters are adorable. The girls always look so fashionable. Lola gave me a chuckle with her head turned away from the camera as if she were saying “this photo shoot is over since there is only a cone shaped hat next to me (I know since I checked it out) & the treats are missing”. Love this post as pets are a wonderful part of the family! Clara 🙂

    Oh my, if not already they should be calendar girls! Glad I found you because they make me smile. None of my dogs ever wanted to wear anything. My last little precious would wear a sweater and a coat but all the others would lie down and not move (after they couldn’t rip it off) until I removed them. Little stinkers they were.

  48. January 1, 2019 at 3:38 pm

    Gracie and Lola… I think you are not only adorable but perfect little ones!
    Happy New Year Girls!

    And tell Mommy and Daddy I wish them the best in 2019 as well!

    Nothing better than sparkling Bichons! Happy New Year to you all. It was a tough holiday for us as we lost our Chloe (Bichon) on the 21st. She would have been 15 in a couple weeks.

      Oh Jeanne, I’m so sorry. We feel your pain. I was looking at photos of our Chloe just yesterday. Thinking of you❣️🐾🐾
