I’m a dog person.
Before Isabelle, I used to roll my eyes at those people. You know. The dog people. Letting dogs lick their faces and gushing over them like, well, parents. Well, now, I’m a dog mom. Yea, I said it. I’m still somewhat ashamed but my love for this silly little creature is helping me overcome that. Izzie is the first pet I’ve ever had in my life that I care for and that cares for me without annoying me, biting me, or otherwise violating the little quirks that make me me. She’s friendly, cuddly, smart, love, love, loves our family and is a true companion. She now accompanies me and Bebe on our morning walks and she stops by her bff’s house (yes, she has one. Molly.) almost daily. You know how I know she’s one of us? I’ve given her at least 10 stupid nicknames. Everyone in my immediate family has lots of stupid nicknames courtesy of yours truly. It’s what I do. 
Even worse, I look at dog clothes now. Oh, the shame. I’m buying her first sweater soon, but I promise not to go as far as dog shoes.

I’m a dog momma too and it’s so wonderful. I think, in my case, Sienna satisfied my need for another child lol Sounds weird but she gives me all the attention and cuddling I need without having had labor or stretch marks. Your Izzie is a cutie..and I love that she has a BFF. Sienna has one too, she’s a little terrier and Sienna is like Yellow dog lol so they look really funny together.
She must get a little sweater for the winter! And a hat

Hee Hee I never thought I’d be a dog clothes person either but they’re so cute now! I kind of want to buy a dog now just to put clothes on him, LOL.

She’s so cute! I want to meet her. And, you’re making me want one. One like her, I mean. I’m not really a dog person (I love them but hate the maintenance), but having one like Izzie sounds great.
Dog sweaters are cute. Just don’t go overboard

Uh huh, first you buy a sweater, then it’s a coat, then you’ll be showing pics of the dog’s closet full of clothes and accessories….
…but no sign of doggie shoes.
