With all of the dog t-shirts, sweatshirts, bandanas and other accessories, it’s tempting to want to dress your dog as well as pet loving celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. The bling and charms turn your pet into the prince and princess that they were born to be, and everyone can see how much you care about your pooch. This week pets will be strutting new styles for Pet Fashion Week, which will be held August 23 and 24 at the Metropolitan Pavilion and Altman Building located in New York City, New York.

Ruff Ruff and Meow will be exhibiting their new designs at the event. Even if you can’t make it to the runway to preview the latest trends in doggie wear, you can purchase some stylish tees and tanks online for your dog. Ruff Ruff and Meow’s designs for 2008 include new funny sayings such as “Only Child” and “My Dad is Single.”

My name is Marina, and I’m a new author on the “LVR” series of blogs. You can find my author page here. I have three cats and two dogs, which definitely help make life more interesting and enjoyable. Lily, Bella and Oliver are a family of cats that I rescued and Paisley and Sebastian are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Here on PetLvr, I’ll be blogging about pets in the news, pet agility shows and celebrity pets. But first I’d like to introduce my pets and myself in more detail.

I recently graduated from Youngstown State University and received a degree in Professional Writing and Editing. I own a writing and editing business called Cat’s Eye Editing, LLC. I’m passionate about environmental issues as well as animal rights, and I would like to try to make a difference with my writing. I definitely believe that the way people treat animals is a reflection of their character.
