OK, my Finn had his SECOND fitting today for his custom coat that’s being made for him. Some people here in Truchas think that’s a bit excessive—that Finn might be going a little, well, Hollywood. But what’s a guy to do? The folks at PupCycled Fashions (see previous posts UpCycled Fashion: Cutting Edge Clothing With a Conscience and PupCycled: Sustainable Clothing For Your Furry Friends) aren’t just making a coat for Finn, they’re building patterns to make clothing for other medium to large sized dogs. And Finn is their fit model. I guess that doesn’t sound a lot better, does it? But the guy’s good looking. What can I say? When you’ve got it, you’ve got it. And Finn’s got it.
So Anna, Finn and I headed up to Penasco today to meet, again, with Jean and Anita at their WEARhouse. We would have done this earlier but they’ve been very busy putting on fashion shows since the last time we saw them.
Anita was working with a t-shirt “pattern” and a little number she’d sized to her basset hound. She made some cuts and took some measurements and is ready to start constructing Finn’s actual coat.
So Anna, Finn and I headed back to Truchas where I’m feeling it increasingly necessary to be discreet about Finn’s activities. Some people will just never understand. Truchas is a bit of a tough town after all. We can’t have Finn being seen as a poodle now, can we?
Love to you all,
Jeane
Oh I LOVE It!! It is good exposure for them to be in your blog and Finn seems to accept/perhaps love the designers attention, but when you pet him he beams lol…it’s a bit like he knows it pleases you to have him there and he DOES love the apparel when it is done:)!!
You all look Dapper:) Good show!
XOXO

Yes, Finn seems to love the attention. Anita (the designer pictured working with him) is very good with dogs. He’s learning more about being in the car too. It’s all good practice.
