Hipbone Pet

Hipbone Pet is one of Midtown's newest dog boutiques, and if I must say so myself, one of the must glamorous ones as well! Hipbone offers a posh doggie lounge that includes free wi-fi , a 42' plasma TV and a doggie-proofed deck. You can even rent out Hipbone for the night and host a dog friendly party! The Atlanta Pug Meetup group is even having their December meet up at Hipbone Pet!

They sell high quality dog food, treats and apparel, as well as other dog accessories such as collars, toys and leashes. They also offer FREE self-serving bathing for your pooch, as long as you bring your own towel. There is a $5.00 fee if you use one of the store's towels.

I really liked the motto that they included on their website which stated, "we really are the pet store for people!".

I have personally never been to Hipbone Pet, but I felt the need to share this doggie fabulous place with my fellow Georgia dog lovers!

Pictures from our camping trip

Due to technical difficulties last night I was not able to post pictures of our camping trip on the Chattooga River. Since the visitors of my blog seem to enjoy my pictures due to their comments (by the way, thank you for your comments!), I decided to do a separate blog post with the just the pictures from our camping trip.

I love camping!

As you can probably already tell by my previous blog posts, I love the outdoors! I especially love being able to bring my dogs to enjoy the outdoors with me. Camping is one of my favorite past times and my dogs seem to love it as well. If you love the outdoors as much as I do, I highly recommend bringing your dog camping. Pets are actually welcomed at almost every state park and campground in the state of Georgia as long as they are leashed at all times.

My boyfriend and I personally like finding our own secluded campsites that are not in state parks so our dogs can aimlessly run around and thoroughly enjoy the outdoors. We all actually went camping the other weekend and had an absolute blast. We found a beautiful campsite on the Georgia/South Carolina border near the Chattooga River.

My pug Jack and I got a little cold at night because the temperature dropped down to the low 30's, but I was able to cuddle up to him near the campfire to keep us both warm. Lilly on the other hand was not phased by the cold temperature due to her extremely thick and heavy fur. One of the smartest things we did this past camping trip was buying glow sticks and tying them to Jack and Lilly's collars so we could see where they were at all times after night fall. I would highly recommend this to anyone who goes camping with their dogs. Although I would not recommend to keep your dog unleashed if they have a tendency to wander away, especially at night.
