Meet Colonel Von Schnitz

 
 I am the first to admit that I have a "problem" with hand bags.
We have all seen the evidence before on this blog. Many times. Many, many times.
And yet I still yearn and pout for more!
I absolutely MUST have a Lucite box purse and am currently biding my time until one can fall into my greedy, hand bag caressing hands.
But, amongst all my treasury of bags, amongst the leather, and vinyl, and rattan, and raffia, and fabric and embroidery and bejewelled beauties there was something missing.
For whilst I had so many, I did not have a dog shaped bag!
 Oh hey fella!
So, if I can introduce to you all.....Colonel Von Schnitz!
He is a very cuddly and cute black vinyl darling with a gorgeous sunny temperament, doesn't shed fur all over the couch, and doesn't eat much at all.
Overall a perfect pet! Add to the fact that he kindly stores a few little daily necessities like a compact, lippy, phone and some coins, and suddenly we have a wonderful companion.
 I discovered him at Savers, and adopted him to live at our house. There have been some tussles over him with my daughter who is equally as smitten with the Colonel.
He is just so gosh darn cute!
 Our other little black dog, LuLu, doesn't appear so enamoured.
Nah, she couldn't give a hoot. As long as Von Schnitz doesn't steal her food or take any tummy rubs she's cool.
But everyone else loves him (OK my husband gave me a look and just shook his head sadly when he first met Von Schnitz but oh well!), and he has been welcomed into the family.
Must fly now. Time for walkies!

  1. I love this! I hope you give him a nice little sweater in the winter time too. How fun is this bag! I've seen some dog bags go for quite a lot of money on ebay. I'm glad he has a lovely home with you. Very, very cute!
