Easton: @eastonofthewild

@eastonofthewild

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose?

Probably a lion. Easton is majestic and stoic which reminds me of a lion. He is also a protector of the family. No dog can come between us without him barking telling the other dog that we are with him. He also enjoys wrestling and playing with us and is super intelligent - always ready to learn. Yes, If Easton was another animal, he'd be a lion.

If your dog was a human for a day, what would his/her day be like?

Easton would be go go go. He definitely suffers from FOMO (fear of missing out). He would go for a run in the morning, then a hike in the afternoon. He would probably meet up with friends for lunch and talk about the next craziest thing he's about to do. Easton would probably have groups of girls flocking towards him (this happens IRL haha) trying to get his number - take one of them to dinner for a more active date (maybe rock climbing and dinner). And when he got home, he would attempt to watch his fave TV show but crash on the couch because he's so tired.

Whats the story behind your doggo's name?

When we got Easton, we thought about all different names. We tried common ones but wanted something a little different. As a family, as also love hockey. Most of my husbands gear is Easton and I looked at it and said it and we decided that it fit. We decided that Easton was just the right name for him. Active, friendly, with a little personality.

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street?

There are people that recognize him on the street and it's more of a shock to me than to him. He loves everyone and wants everyone’s love - I'm not sure he knows he's famous. Easton doesn't judge and isn't snooty - he is 100% a giver of love.

Adopt or shop?

I honestly don't think it matters. I think that as long as you are ready for a pet and can take good care of them, why should it matter? Everyone is opinionated about this matter and it ends up dividing us as a community. We need to come together and support ALL pets whether they are adopted, come from a breeder, or from a farm. We all have the same goal in mind and that is to love our pets as much as we can. So break down those barriers and let's support each other - after all, we are all doing our best given whatever situation we're in.

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

I would have to say the best thing Easton does is when he sees you after a long day. He will curl up in your legs saying hi to you and he's so happy that his tail is wagging and he keeps hitting himself in the face with his tail. OR it's when he knows he's in trouble and falls over on his back in guilt before you say anything...one of those two has to take the cake.

Oscar: @oscarcocker

@oscarcocker

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

Ooh that’s a tricky one... probably belly rubs as belly rubs are great. He’s actually allergic to beef, but that wouldn’t stop him eating it!

What do you think your dog has named you?

Reckon he calls me lady with the camera because I’ve constantly got a camera in his face 😂, not that he minds, he’ll do almost anything for treats and a fuss!

What type of products do they love?

Oscar loves food most of all but he also loves toys and accessories like bandanas, bow ties and collars. He really loves putting his collar on and looks for it when he wakes up in the morning.

Why did you pick that breed?

We went on holiday and met a gorgeous litter of black cocker spaniels who lived in the cottage next to ours. After doing lots of research we decided that cockers are a beautiful, loving (if slightly crazy) breed that would fit into our family very nicely.

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

He enjoys stealing slippers and other things so he can exchange them for a treat. He tends to take them into another room and hold them hostage until you come to get them back 😂

Diva or chill?

He’s a total diva, in case that wasn’t proven by the slipper thing 😂

What’s her/his favorite food?

Raw dinner and biscuits are the bestest 😋

Copper The Frenchie: @copper.frenchie

@copper.frenchie

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose?

Seal

If your dog was a human for a day, what would his/her day be like?

Copper would probably start his day with an early morning walk, follow by a full English breakfast. He is a shop dog, so he goes to work daily to entertain and interact with customers. He also likes to enjoy a walk around his work area to look for cute girls. He is a foodie as well, he goes to all kinds of restaurant to taste their delicious food.

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

Both. He gets belly rubs and treats all day at work from different customers already.

What do you think your dog has named you?

Poop collector

Whats the story behind your doggo's name?

Copper’s name came from elements that his owner likes. Copper’s colour is also on a copper tone.

What type of products do they love?

Copper likes to play with balls that are human scale. Basketball, soccer ball and volleyball.

What is their beauty routine?

He is on raw diet with a spoon of salmon oil everyday to keep his fur nice and shine. Of course with good amount of beauty sleep as well.

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street?

As being a shop dog and going to different cafes and restaurants with his owner. He is quite famous in Macau. People literally would say hi to him on the street.

Why did you pick that breed?

I have been thinking of getting a Frenchie for nearly a decade.

Adopt or shop?

Adopt is better.

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

He would sit next to you while you are on a chair, wanting you to leave the chair, so he can sit.

Any IRL other famous doggo friends you want to give a shout out to?

@tofu_frenchiehk

@poochie_the_frenchie

@freddy.frenchie

If they could say one sentence to you - what would they say and why?

I need to go out. Copper always gives us signal when he wants to go for a walk.

Diva or chill?

Diva!

What her/his favorite food?

Ice cream!

Is your dog currently seeing anyone? If so, boy ? Girl? How did they meet?

There’s a white girl pug that he is waiting to see everyday. She is at the coffee shop across from his work.

Menley the Samoyed: @menleybear

@menleybear

If your dog was a human for a day, what would his day be like?

Human Menley would start the day off with a big, hearty breakfast, then take a short nap before hitting an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. 🐻🍣 Next, he’d probably go for a hike and take me grocery shopping so that I could fix him his favourite meal!

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

Filet mignon...ALL. DAY. LONG. *Except first thing in the morning—he’s super cuddly when he wakes up in the morning! 🤗

Why did you pick that breed?

When I was a kid, I got a dog calendar that featured a litter of Samoyed puppies in a picnic basket. 🧺❤️ I fell in love right then and there! 😍 The more I read about them, the more I knew it was the right breed for me. Sammies are smart, affectionate and fluffy clouds that are known to “carry the Christmas spirit in their faces” with their beautiful smiles. 😊

What is his beauty routine?

Menley’s beauty routine consists of a full bath every 4-6 weeks, weekly pawdicures and a paw soak every night. We try to brush a little every day. Samoyeds are known to shed, but Menley has never really been “out of coat”—his breeder said that it might be part genetics, but also that keeping up with the brushing helps them roll their coat out instead of doing a full shed!

Diva or chill?

Super chill, but he does enjoy his creature comforts...

What is his favourite food?

Tomahawk steak! 🤤

Walter: @itsasmallterworld

@itsasmallterworld

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

Definitely belly rubs. Walter loves food, but is a velcro pup and loves being by his people. One of his favorite things to do is snuggle up in my lap for pettings.

Whats the story behind your doggo's name?

Walter is named after Walter Sobchak from the movie The Big Lebowski. It's one of my favorite movies and was a natural fit because my Walter is tiny and grumpy and the movie Walter is big and grumpy.

What is their beauty routine?

Wake up and strut. He was born beautiful.

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street?

People love to come up to him on the street and exclaim how cute he is. He does well around new people that are chill, but he's not a fan of people that are loud. He's kind of an introvert like his mom.

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

There are so many things! Griffs are quirky little dogs, but I would say the quirkiest are his "swimmies". When he's excited or on new carpet, he loves to pull himself across the carpet with his front paws and one back leg. His little tail wagging the whole time. There are videos on his instagram account. People love his swimmies.

If they could say one sentence to you - what would they say and why?

Mom, where are my donuts? Mostly because he loves donuts. He's going to start reviewing donut shops in 2020.

Diva or chill?

Depends on the day, but he's a pretty chill little dog. Unless dinner is late.

What her/his favorite food?

Anything that I'm eating and he's not supposed to have.

Cheddar & Chester: @cheddarandchester

@cheddarandchester

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose?

Cheddar and Chester are already the perfect species, but I think would like to be bigger - they certainly act like they are bigger! I think they’d change into really big sausage dogs. Great Dane sized sausage dogs!

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

I think they’d expect filet mignon being fed to them all day whilst been given belly rubs. They are very spoilt hounds!

What do you think your dog has named you?

I assume they have called us ‘mummy’ and ‘servant’! In fact, servant 1 and servant 2 are probably more accurate! Sausage dogs certainly like to get their own way.

Whats the story behind your doggo's name?

Chester’s name comes from my personal hero Chester Bennington from Linkin Park. After he sadly passed away in 2017, I really wanted to name our pup after him as a tribute. Cheddar’s name came from the TV show Brooklyn 99. Captain Holt’s corgi in the show is called Cheddar. It’s a perfect name as it turns out our cheddar LOVES cheese.

What type of products do they love?

Anything food based... recently they’ve been really interested in duck strips

What is their beauty routine?

They have a bath every couple of weeks, followed by a blow dry, their nails cut and ears cleaned. We also clean their teeth a often as we can. Cheddar loves the whole process, Chester not so much! The boys are brushed every other day to keep their fur looking beautiful and their shedding to a minimum.

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street?

It depends entirely on the day and the person. Sometimes they will give lots of kisses and cuddles, sometimes lots of borks! In true dachshund fashion, they can be rather noisy.

Why did you pick that breed?

We picked miniature dachshunds because I had a always wanted a small breed of dog, as I’m only 5 ft. 1 myself. My sister in law has three miniature dachshunds herself, and after seeing their Instagram, we had to follow suit. Their Instagram is @the_3_weenies

Adopt or shop?

We believe both are great options. We bought our two boys from a KC registered breeder but would love to adopt one day too.

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

Cheddar’s quirkiest trait is the noises he makes! He loves to cuddle up to us and just grumble. It’s the most lovely contented little sound. It sounds like he is talking to us! Chester’s is quite a new development. When we get up to go upstairs to bed, we ask Chester to get in his bed. He then proceeds to roll onto his back, wag his tails and paws at me. It is the most adorable and manipulative thing I’ve ever seen. Needless to say, most of the time he gets to sleep in our bed.

Diva or chill?

Chester is certainly the diva, and Cheddar is more chill! It’s nice to have a mix of personalities.

Opal: @opalthefluff

@opalthefluff

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose?

Opal would probably choose to become a lizard. We have so many lizards in our backyard, and she loves chasing them. She just wants to roam free with her lizard friends, and rule them as their queen.

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

Opal doesn’t understand the concept of either/or, so she would like belly rubs while eating filet mignon.

What’s the story behind your doggo's name?

Opal was named after her mama’s birthstone. When we thought of it, we felt it was the perfect name for a Samoyed.

What is her beauty routine?

We brush her fur and teeth weekly; she has a nasty chicken-flavored toothpaste that she loves to eat. Samoyeds have magic fur – her favorite thing to do is dig and get dirty, but dirt falls off her coat all on it’s own.

Why did you pick that breed?

Samoyeds have strong personalities - beautiful, sweet, vocal, silly. We knew she would be a great fit with our lifestyle and blend right in. She is constantly making us laugh and has the happiest, most optimistic spirit you could imagine.

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

Opal celebrates the small things in life. It’s amazing watching her discover new objects – she has discovered seashells and acorns in our backyard and always throws them in the air, runs around them, and rolls on them to celebrate how happy she is that they exist. She does the same with random objects in our house. She will take loose toilet paper rolls, shampoo bottles and other bathroom objects and run giddy with them. We always know when she has something that she shouldn’t – she does not have a poker face. She hates baths, but loves to hangout and play in empty bathtubs. She has no concept of her size, she will tunnel through small spaces, and climb up onto our plant stand and bookshelves. If she fits, she sits.

If she could say one sentence to you - what would she say and why?

“Am jus puppy”

Is your dog currently seeing anyone? If so, boy ? Girl? How did they meet?

Opal is asexual and agender. She is here for frenship!

Elai & Jenna: @elai.and.jenna

@elai.and.jenna

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose?

I think Jenna would want to be a super tiny creature, like a mouse, so she could fit into my pocket and go anywhere with me. And eat all the treat crums from my pockets.. Elai would want to be a majestic lion. Like a king laying on his sunny rock!

If your dog was a human for a day, what would his/her day be like?

Jenna would probably visit a fast food restaurant and eat till she passes out.. Elai wouldn't be far behind...

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

Ouch! That is a tough one! I think they'd go for the filet mignon.. Though Jenna would probably miss the belly rubs at some point!

What do you think your dog has named you?

Hmm.. Probably something like "One Who Feeds Us". But I'd like to think it's closer to 'humom' hehe

Whats the story behind your doggo's name?

I always loved the name Eli, from Elijah. But my mom thought it looked to much like the girls name 'Elly' so we added the A. It's still pronaunced as 'Eli'! And Jenna was named after Balto's girlfriend in the movie Balto. And it also sounds very sweet and girly, just like her personality!

What type of products do they love?

They love it when I fill their Kong with slices of Rodi sausage! Though they are getting too nifty with getting it out... Elai also loves dog puzzles! Jenna loves any type of stuffed animal.. She likes to throw them around and pluck the stuffing out!

What is their beauty routine?

When Jenna wakes up she will always clean her eyes with her paws like a cat does. Then she does a stretch and a shake to get rid of the out of bed look. Elai is a real dude and doesn't care much for appearance.. Though he will always clean his face after a meal. By wiping it on any soft sorface that's available... Like my couch... Or my bed...

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street?

Oh gosh, Jenna can't even contain herself sometimes! She will literally throw herself to her fans! Little diva LOVES all the attention! Elai will follow behind, checking for potentials snacks! But he's a bit shy large groups though..

Why did you pick that breed?

First I always wanted to get a husky! I'm a very outdoorsy person and I really wanted to get into mushing. Then I found Elais litter, they were 75% malamute and that's how I got to know the breed. And I'm so glad I did, because their personality fits me waaay better than a husky would.

Adopt or shop?

I think both are just fine and you should choose whatever you are comfortable with! They both have their pro's and con's! I chose to shop, because a puppy was a better option for me. I wasn't able to provide the right guidance a shelter dog would have needed. Where as now, since I'm older and have more knowledge about dogs.. if I ever consider to get another dog I will definitely adopt!

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

Jenna talks A LOT! Elai will get super cuddly super randomly during a walk or hike. He'll stop in his tracks almost making me trip over him and he'll demand scratchies and hugs for a few moments.

Diva or chill?

Jenna is the embodiment of the word Diva... Elai is the chillest dude I know.

What her/his favorite food?

Elai goes nuts for anything sugary. Pancakes.. Pie.. Ice cream.. Jenna loves anything editie!

Mochi: @mochi_little_paw

@mochi_little_paw

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose? 

Mochi would be the perfect seal. He loves to laze around all day, eat, sleep and complain to us when he needs something.

If your dog was a human for a day, what would his/her day be like?

Mochi loves going for walkies and to the park. I think if he was a human for a day, he would spend all day playing and running around the park and would only remember to come home when he is hungry! He probably would even help himself to the food in the fridge.

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

I am sure he would say "Paws down...Filet mignon for sure!! Save the belly rubs for yourself - hooman!"

“Diva” or “chill”?

Mochi would without a doubt be a “chilled diva”. He is so “chill” that all he wants to do all day is sleep, eat and hooman watch from his favourite spot. But he is such a “diva” when it comes down to almost anything else! Read on to find out more…

What’s the story behind your doggo's name?

When we saw Mochi for the first time, in his ultra-cute 5-week-old puppy mode, we couldn’t help but fall in love with how cute, floofy, shy and cheeky he was. As all-things Japanese superfans, we wanted to name him after something that reminded us of him and coincidentally of our favourite Japanese dessert – Mochi. Look it up, try it – it will open your mind!

What is their beauty routine?

Mochi gets pampered all the time. Every 1-3 months Mochi gets a bath, however what’s more interesting is that Mochi's floof is quite magical! He doesn't get dirty much and all he needs to do is a shake of the body, then all the dirt would just come right off him! We give Mochi a quick brush every second day and a full brush once a week to keep his floofiness. We also like to put paw balm on his paws to keep them nice and soft. To add to the floof treatment he gets pats, scritches and lots of hugs and kisses from both of us on a daily basis. What a treatment!

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street? 

If there are other dogs around, Mochi would only have eyes for them and nothing else. He observes every move like a hawk! No time for even his fans or food at this point!!

If there are no other dogs around, then he would get very excited and jump up & down to try to kiss his fans. Very cheeky boy!

Why did you pick that breed?

We always wanted an Arctic Breed dog. However after much research and though about how we wanted to spend our time with our floofy family member, we realised the demeanour and characteristics in a Samoyed are exactly in tune with us. Floof for the win!

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

There are more than we can count, however our #1 to date is he sits in a corner and stares at you intently without a sound, with his beautiful smile, while hiding in the dark. All you see are eyes – can anybody say “trick-or-treat”?!?!

Our #2 for all the floof fans out there, is whenever we don’t give him what he wants, or we ask him to do something when he doesn’t want to, or when he has to wait too long for something, he would “sigh” deeply at us in frustration. How much of a “diva” can one pup be – talk about sassy!

If they could say one sentence to you - what would they say and why?

Mochi would without a doubt say to us “Hey you! Leave the food right there and go away until I need you – hooman.”

Brodie: @brodie_bratwurst

@brodie_bratwurst

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose?

A Lion. He is protective, loyal and thinks he can take on anything. Even though his little legs are only 6.5 inches high, he definitely thinks he is the King of the Park.

If your dog was a human for a day, what would his/her day be like?

A lazy morning, followed by a trip to the coffee shop for his caffeine fix before hitting the gym to pump some iron. He would 'work from home' in a job where he would spend other peoples money, which as a dog he seemed to be good at. Then in the evening he would dress to impress, be drenched in aftershave and head to a trendy bar with the lads.

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

Belly rubs all day long. We have a morning routine which includes his 'rub my belly dance' Brodie lays on his back and wriggled around like a dying fly until he is satisfied with rubs of the belly. A sight to behold.

What is their beauty routine?

Brodie is partial to rolling in fox poo, so he is regular bathed using Animology Fox Poo Shampoo. He is deshedded with a Furmintor a couple of times per week. His coach/teeth are brushed daily and for special occasion he is spritzed with some puppy aftershave.

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street?

Where we live there are lots of children, who always gather around to pet him when he is out a walk, which he adores, as long as they approach quietly. They all seem to think he is Buddy from Secret Life of Pets.

Why did you pick that breed?

My wife and I were torn between a miniature dachshund and an italian greyhound. Then we fell in love with a little dachshund on instagram called Penny (@pennyshortlegs). Even though she was a tiny little pupper, she had the biggest personality and her resting worried face melted our hearts. We quickly fell in love with their breed after lots of research.

If they could say one sentence to you - what would they say and why?

Lady, will you stop putting me in the bath!

Is your dog currently seeing anyone? If so, boy ? Girl? How did they meet?

Brodie had a fleeting romance with a little dachshund called Poppy. They met, by chance, one sunny Saturday afternoon on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. It was short but sweet. Apart from that, Brodie is all about the bromance with his two besties Marlon and Charlie. Marlon is a cross standard dachsund / jack Russel and Charlie is a King Charles. He absolutely adores both of them and is at his happiest in their company.

Rufus + Scooter: @rufusandscooter

@rufusandscooter

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose?

Rufus- hippo

Scooter- meerkat

If your dog was a human for a day, what would his/her day be like?

Rufus would probably tinker on his car, order in pizza , have a beer and watch hockey. Scooter would start her morning at 7am with a work out and celery juice, and then respond to emails, get her nails done and then grab drinks with the girls in the evening at a new vegan place.

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

Oh man... that’s not fair ! Haha belly rubs. They 💛 their mommy

What do you think your dog has named you?

Home.

Whats the story behind your doggo's name?

I’ve always wanted a long hair wiener named Rufus and it suits him! He’s the definition of a good boy and is super chill. Scooter on the other hand is spunky, needy and charismatic.

What type of products do they love?

Rufus is happy with a bone and scooter is stoked on her pumpkin treats. Oh and can’t forget about their puppy friendly dry shampoo.

What is their beauty routine?

Because they’re so low to the ground, their little bellies get dirty so they get weekly bath times, bubbles and all! #spoiled

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street?

They’re stoked! Rufus is friendly and open to everyone, Scooter is a little shy. But they love the attention.

Why did you pick that breed?

For one they’re adorable, and they have big personalities.

Adopt or shop?

Either or! Whatever makes you happy. (:

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

Rufus prefers to squeak than bark it’s so cute! Scooter always lays down with her back legs out like a frog, it’s hilarious.

Any IRL other famous doggo frineds you want to give a shout out to?

@tunameltsmyheart

@hollys_amazing_journey

@walterthechi

If they could say one sentence to you - what would they say and why?

Is it dinner time yet?

Diva or chill?

Scooter 100% diva, Rufus super chill.

What her/his favorite food?

They both love carrots, and of course pepperoni sticks.

Is your dog currently seeing anyone? If so, boy ? Girl? How did they meet?

Uhmm they’re my babies for life! No boys no girls! Haha just kidding but they’re only 1, I’m not ready for that . . .Yet. Haha.

Thank you so much! Best, Bailey @rufusandscooter @baileymarshall

Milli Cruz: @milli.the.samoyed

@milli.the.samoyed

Whats the story behind your doggo's name?

“Milli” is a prefix used when referring to one-thousandth of a metric or IS unit. And because we, her mom and dad, work in the science field and she was the runt of her litter, we named her Millilitre or simply “Milli” for short.

What is their beauty routine?

Milli gets dirty and/or very wet, usually multiple times a week. To get the dirt off, we dry her with pet blower. She does get brushed, more so during shedding season. And she gets a bath every 3 or 4 months, sooner if she get particularly smelly or if there’s a special occasion.

Why did you pick that breed?

When we were choosing a breed, we wanted something hypoallergenic since my husband is allergic to dogs. Next, we wanted something family-friendly. He also wanted an energetic breed that he could take on hikes and large enough to wrestle but not so large that it violates our strata guidelines (we live in a town house). The Samoyed breed fit our bill and there are a handful of reputable breeders not to far from us.

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street?

While she does get recognized sometimes, she graciously and indiscriminately accepts any and all attention.

Is your dog currently seeing anyone? If so, boy ? Girl? How did they meet?

Milli’s latest boyfriend is a male husky named Kaiser. They happened to meet when both were being dog-sat by mutual friends and were inseparable during the times they were together.

Trickdog Sumo: @fluffy.sumo

@fluffy.sumo

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

She’s extremely happy, if I take her on leash. Even when we’re already outside. Every time I take her on leash she wags her tail.

If she could say one sentence to you - what would they say and why?

“Give me food!” because she’s always hungry.

What’s her favorite food?

Maybe cheese, but generally she eats everything she can get.

Adopt or shop?

Sumo is a rescued dog from Hungary and I think adopting a dog is definitely a good way to help pets in need. But I would also shop a puppy from a serious and responsible breeder.

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose?

Maybe a squirrel. She always want to play with them and is totally fascinated by them. Unfortunately they don’t want to play with her and she‘s so frustrated that she can’t follow them up a tree.

Bonnie The Bandana Queen: @thebeaglethatisbonnie

@thebeaglethatisbonnie

If your dog was a human for a day, what would her day be like?

If Bonnie was a human she would spend her mornings in bed which is her favourite place to be. She’d then surround herself with people as she just loves to help people. Bonnie would probably be a volunteer at local charities giving back to people and doing what she can to help. She’d then spend the evening with a good snack, probably a cheese board and demand cuddles all night.

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

Bonnie is very much more of a ‘people person’ dog, she’d much rather take love and affection whenever she wanted instead of filet mignon.

What do you think your dog has named you?

I think Bonnie has named me ‘Basic Becky’ just because she has a better style sense than me and poses 24/7, after a while she’ll have this face that just says ‘I’m so done with you and I’m so over this Basic Becky!’ and that she sees me as her loyal minion also would give me that idea.

Whats the story behind your doggo's name?

Bonnie was named Bonnie, as from the day I met her, I could tell that name suited her down to the very last letter. She’s just like the name actually means. The name Bonnie is a girl's name of Scottish origin meaning "beautiful, cheerful". Bonnie is most certainly beautiful inside and out and she brings so much cheer to my life daily. Bonnie helped me recover from a devastating serious illness. She had no special training but she just knew how to take care of me, she brought smiles and joy back into my life so it was only fitting that she was called Bonnie.

What type of products do they love?

Bonnie loves anything remotely stylish but she especially loves her bandanas and harnesses. Bonnie is nicknamed ‘Bonnie The Bandana Queen’ because she is often seen strutting her stuff in a good bandana. Her favourite place to shop for harnesses is @frenchie_bulldog and for bandanas it’s @ripleyandrue and @bluepawco .

What is their beauty routine?

A big part of Bonnie’s beauty routine is getting her beauty sleep and making sure her eyes are clean with no tear marks. Bonnie generally stays clean as just like the diva she is, she hates getting dirty! I’m fairly convinced all the facial massages from anyone she meets also helps her daily routine.

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

Bonnie loves to jump on the table and look down at everyone like the queen she is, she also loves to bring a toy in her mouth to anyone who enters the house as a welcome present.

Any IRL other famous doggo frineds you want to give a shout out to?

I’d love to shout out @eggnogthebulldog their posts are just so creative, beautiful and funny. Their mumma is also so kind, lovely and has a heart of gold. I’d also like to shout out @frankie.andme their Instagram is so unique, adorable and hilarious. Frankie and his mumma are such fabulous friends and we are grateful to have both of these wonderful accounts, dogs and their mummas in our lives as friends.

If they could say one sentence to you - what would they say and why?

Bonnie would probably say “No matter what, you can do anything and I’m here to help.”

Diva or chill?

Bonnie is a classic diva, she loves to be waited on hand and paw and she walks around anywhere she goes like she owns the place. She’s got such a sassy character and I’m convinced she knows just how gorgeous she is.

What’s her favourite food?

Bonnie’s favourite food is cheese. Bonnie’s life without cheese would be like she was missing a part of herself she honestly loves it that much.

Victor: @shadedcream

@shadedcream

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose?

If Victor could change into any species of animal it would have to be a lion. He’s very fierce and has a loud bark, I am certain he is a big dog trapped in a small dogs body!!

Why did you pick that breed?

I chose a dachshund because I wanted a small dog that has a lot of character!

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

Because he has short legs, he can’t jump up on the furniture so if he wants to join you he’ll bark until you pick him up.

If they could say one sentence to you - what would they say and why?

“What happened to the ball that got stuck under the sofa?” Victors obsessed with tennis balls, he loves to chase (but not fetch) them. He gets overexcited so we occasionally have to confiscate them.

Diva or chill?

Victor is a combination of both, he’ll let you know when he wants to be carried and loves attention. But he’s also super lazy, hates walks and loves laying in his bed until the late afternoon.

What her/his favorite food?

His favourite food is sirloin steak, he’s very lucky he lives above a restaurant so gets to dine out frequently.

Is your dog currently seeing anyone? If so, boy ? Girl? How did they meet?

Victor’s only two and a half; he’s not allowed a girlfriend 😂

Little Miss Paisley: @little.miss.paisley

@little.miss.paisley

What do you think your dog has named you?

On social media, Paisley often refers to me as her momager, her mommyrazzi/ puppyrazzi, and her stylist. I guess you can say that is my responsibility or job description. Her followers know me as "Paisley's mom"-- but, at home and in our personal life, I like to think Paisley just drops all of the silly titles and calls me "mom".

What's the story behind your doggo's name?

Paisley's Dad and I 1st decided to get a puppy shortly after becoming engaged. At the time that we found her, we had been spending our free time wedding planning & had just chosen the song "Then" by Brad Paisley for our 1st Dance. I remember looking at him, and the lightbulb going off, when we both realized that it would be an adorable name for our new puppy. Funny story-- the 1st time we looked at the litter of puppies to choose one, we told the breeder that we had chosen the name "Paisley" and picked out this adorable chocolate baby girl. She was still too much of a puppy-nugget to come home with us that day, and so, we had to wait until she was 8weeks old to bring her home. When we went back to pick up Paisley and bring her to her forever home with us, we learned that the breeder had been calling her "Parsley" instead of "Paisley" . LOL. It made us smile and chuckle. Close-- but, not quite what we had in mind.

What is their beauty routine?

Paisley's beauty routine is based mostly on a diet of long walks, even longer naps [hey- a girl needs her beauty sleep], and bacon-flavored everything. She loves to keep fresh with warm bubble baths and can always be found with a strand of pearls around her neck.

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street?

When it comes down to it, Paisley is just a small town girl, living in the BIG world of social media. Being a low rider, she keeps herself grounded by remembering that, at the end of the day, no matter how many new insta-followers she may have, she is just my baby girl. That said, she will happily indulge in extra kisses and back rubs, when she is recognized by her followers.

Is your dog currently seeing anyone? If so, boy ? Girl? How did they meet?

Aside from being the girl in a pink tutu and pearls, Paisley is often recognized on social media for being Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshunds "kinda sorta girlfriend". They met a couple of times at Dachshund related events in our hometown-- but, were 1st identified as an "item" when Paisley starred as Crusoe's main girl in his Cheerleaders Pool Party music video. Since then, they have been spotted by the puppyrazzi on a number of dates and, while they may not have made their relationship "Facebook official", they have left many fans in the dachshund community wondering if this lady's man is finally off the market. Ask her about the relationship status myself, and she just blushes-- but, seeing them together makes my heart happy. I guess you can say, Crusoe is Mom and dad approved.

Betsy: @BETSY.AND.ME

@BETSY.AND.ME

Would your doggo rather have belly rubs whenever they want or filet mignon all day?

Definitely belly rubs! Betsy loves lying on her back, oblivious to the world as we rub her belly while she falls asleep. She could literally lay there all day!

What do you think your dog has named you?

Mummy!

What type of products do they love?

Betsy can be a very fussy girl and it can be very hit-and-miss with products. She certainly doesn’t like flavoured toys or anything too hard. She loves mini tennis balls which she rolls under the sofa and then sits patiently waiting for us to retrieve them. But then within minutes rolls it back under! She also loves cuddly toys to play with. Her favourite chew has to be Yak Milk, she could chew that all day if we let her!

What is their beauty routine?

Betsy is brushed twice a day, washed every week and goes to the groomers every five weeks. Being a cockapoo, Betsy doesn’t shed any fur but they can become matted quickly so we always try to be one step ahead! She is a very pampered pooch!

Why did you pick that breed?

Cockapoos are known for being kind natured and and family friendly. Cockapoos are so affectionate and have loving personalities. They are also hypoallergenic and do not smell. Betsy is everything we could of asked for in a cockapoo...and more!

If they could say one sentence to you - what would they say and why?

“I love you”. Betsy tries to say it everyday in her own way, by licking us and snuggling as close as she can so I think she would love to be able to say it properly!

Diva or chill?

Diva - Betsy likes everything the way she likes it. If something is out of place or new, she will stare and growl at it until we move it! She’s a neat freak and hates getting dirty or wet. Betsy refuses to go out in the rain and walks around puddles or mud...or waits to be carried over if she can’t avoid it!

What her favourite food?

Betsy’s favourite has to be Forthglade’s 90% Chicken and Liver wet food. But Betsy would never turn down anything chicken related..chicken feet, chicken leg, chicken breast, chicken treats...she’s chicken mad!

Is your dog currently seeing anyone? If so, Boy? Girl? How did they meet?

No way - Betsy is still a baby! Maybe in a few years...

Sidney: @sidney_minisausage

@sidney_minisausage

If your dog could change into any other animal - what species would they choose?

Probably a squirrel. He is absolutely fascinated by them and gets so frustrated because he can’t follow them up a tree!

What type of products do they love?

Sidney has a very large selection of accessories and looks rather spiffing in a bow tie and also rocks the bandana look. His dinosaur onesie look has proven to be quite popular on Instagram! He models for a few dog accessories brands so if you love the styles he wears as much as we do, check out his discount codes on his profile.

What is their beauty routine?

Beauty sleep! Sidney loves a lie in and always has done, even as a puppy. I’ve never known a puppy to get up after their humans. Other than that smooth haired dachshunds don’t need much of a grooming routine - we regularly clean his teeth and ears and we bathe him about once a month (he’s not a fan but let’s it happen - whilst looking rather miserable...!)

Diva or chill?

Both! He definitely thinks he’s a big boy Doberman who rules the world and who doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘shy’. But behind that facade is also the most cuddly, affectionate and loving doggy you’ll ever meet!

Why did you pick that breed?

Well, I’ve loved dachshunds since I was young and I’ve wanted one for a very long time. We read up lots about the breed before we got Sidney which made me even more sure that a dachshund is the right dog for us - stubborn, funny, loving, loud, short legs - sounds a bit like myself to be honest, haha! It was the best day ever when we picked him up and our lives haven’t been the same since. They are such big personalities and definitely the opposite of a boring dog! He comes everywhere with us - if my dog can’t come, I’m not coming!

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

When Sidney was a puppy we randomly discovered that he howls along to high pitch noises. So every now and then we have a howl together. It’s great fun. Awooooo! He also has a sock fetish and is a serial sock thief - he always seems to find one, I bet he has a secret stash somewhere.

Lucy: @littlelucysamoyed

@littlelucysamoyed

If your dog was a human for a day, what would his/her day be like?

It would involve eating lots of human snacks and maybe even visiting the supermarket to buy some of her favourite crisps. She is very intellectual too so at night she would likely go to bed early to read a good book.

What type of products do they love?

Lucy loves crisps (chips), she has carried them on her walks for years and in recent times has even started eating them before providing a humourous review for her followers.

What is their beauty routine?

To go into the garden and roll around in anything that resembles dirt. Owning a beautiful fluffy white dog is not always smiles and sparkling white floof!

What's the quirkiest thing your doggo does?

Carrying crisps on her walks. Several years ago she would refuse to walk past certain shops unless I went in the shop and bought her crisps to carry on the rest of the walk.

Any IRL other famous doggo friends you want to give a shout out to?

I would love to say hello to my beautiful friend Parker (@parkerthesamoyed) I first met this adorable youngster online but have been super lucky enough to have actually met him in person twice now.

Diva or chill?

Definite Diva, this one is not even up for debate.

Is your dog currently seeing anyone? If so, boy ? Girl? How did they meet?

Lucy does indeed have a boyfriend, his name is Ari (@samoyersofthepeninsula), he is 9 years old and they met online in 2017. Ari lives near Melbourne so it is definitely a long distance relationship but we do exchange Christmas and Birthday cards and presents with each other.

Martini: @martinitheteenyweenie

@martinitheteenyweenie

Background: Martini is a mini dapple dachshund, born August 1st, 2019!

If your dog was a human for a day, what would his/her day be like?

If Tini was a human for a day, she would for sure get up at 7 am because she’d have so much energy. She would take seven naps a day and eat solely meat. She would meet as many people as possible and constantly want to be running around playing, so maybe she’d go to the gym twice a day. She would end the day with cuddling!

What type of products do they love?

Tini loves anything that she can squeak herself — she’s gone through two squeakers in a bear in two weeks. She also loves super soft, furry things, including socks. She also loves sitting on backpacks, carrying (dragging) shoes around, and playing with sweatshirt strings. She also loves anything bacon or chicken flavored!

How have they reacted to fame when they are recognized on the street?

Martini is well-known especially throughout our apartment complex, so she always loves the attention from anyone. She would never be a guard dog — she would just want love and cuddles too much!
