My most recent dog blanket designs are available on this Smilebox link.

I love the Toile blanket especially - it’s fuzzy and cozy and tres chic. I am showing this toile dog print in the picture to the right.

I’d love to read a comment from you about my designs - please feel free to talk to me in the comments box below and I will get right back to you!

You can contact me via Ginger AT Kidsinfurcoats DOT com if you want a custom made blanket of any one of these designs.

Or perhaps something else of your own ideas. I love the ideas my customers come up with!

I can also add your dog’s name as an extra touch if you want.

For some reason people think my Maltese dogs Monte and Mollee must be brilliant, since they’ve been getting in emails addressed to them. Asking them questions about life and such.

I will admit these are really smart dogs who know how to use a keyboard and also drive scooters (see picture), but I really can’t promise their advice will be at all useful to you. I mean, they still think like dogs.

That said, my dogs told me to tell you they are very happy to receive your questions and fan mail. They promise to answer any questions you, your pets, or your children care to send them, right here on this website.

Of course they made me make an email address just for them! And here it is: MonteandMollee AT KidsinFurCoats DOT com

…(you have to put all that together into an email address, but I know you are smarter than the spam robots and will figure it out. Or just leave a comment here and I will help you). They love getting your letters!

I had two recent requests for large - very large - Ginger Snips blankets for dog and cat moms to throw over their sofas.

What a great idea! I was happy to design and make some large sofa throw type blankets to specs that matched the decor in my clients’ rooms. It occurs to me that one can order a custom blanket to throw over their bed, as well, if their pets like to spend the day lounging in their parents’ beds!

A Ginger Snips Very Large Pet Blanket might be just what you need to protect your sofa, couch, love seat, club chairs or day beds from dog dirt and hair.

You simply leave the blankets on the sofa (or whatever)…and when guests come over - viola! Pull off the blanket and have clean, hair-free seating to offer.

The blanket will also be pretty enough to leave on your furniture for your daily use as well.

Simply tell me what colors you like and what kind of decor you have and I will work with you to design the right Ginger Snips Very Large Pet Blanket for you and your family!

Monte:

Hello Blanket Lovers!! I’m happy to see you’ve returned…hopefully to purchase a blanket or two for your best friend. I am currently sitting on top of one as I speak. Woof! Good boy.

Now that life has returned back to normal, by that I mean, no more shaking floors, and psychotic little white dogs named Mollee running around in the middle of the night trying to imitate earthquakes, I’d like to catch up.

I really appreciated the concerned calls about my well being..so to speak…Woof! Good boy. Right after the earthquake, I did kind of have a little breakdown. Nothing that some R and R didn’t cure, it was just a little traumatic. I have since studied everything I could on the earthquake phenomena and learned some helpful tips on surviving them. I will be prepared for the next one, I look at it as a learning experience. It helped me grow.

Mollee and I have resumed our spelling studies; she is coming along quite well. I am actually very proud of her determination. Every night she stays up into the wee hours on the computer, must be trying to get in some extra study time. She’s even been sick for a couple of days, but she is still hard at work..what a champ, I’ll make sure Mommy gives her a special treat.

So, I would like your help…I’ve been kicking around an idea for a couple of weeks now and I feel like I am ready to share it with everyone. I want to become a stand-up comedian. I know I can do it…I really feel like I’ve got what it takes, my deliveries are spot on, here it goes…A dog with his foot wrapped in a bloody bandage hobbles into a Western saloon. He sidles up to the bar and announces: “I’m lookin’ fer the man that shot my paw.”

Well??…. What do you think, I’ve got a million more. Ohh…It’s time for my walk….I see Mommy grabbing my leash. Leave me a message, I will answer them all. Thanks for your help.

My very best to you and yours,

Monte the First, Esq.

P.S. Did you laugh? Not that I’m being overly sensitive about this…you know, I just wanted to know for research purposes.

Mollee:

OMG!!!!! I didn’t think he wuuuz ever gonna shut up….I’ve been burstin at the seams….You are NEVER gonna guess what happened!! Phew…deep breath…I am SO excited!!!

AHH……I’ve got a boyfriend!!!

He totally sent me a picture last nite…he’s soooo dreamy. His name is Jose…and he lives in Florida…..that is so kewl!!

Oooh..by the way, I wanted to totally clear up something Mommy said earlier…..I don’t really have the poops…Gross…I just pretended to be sik so Mommy would give me the pepto bizmo…see, I kinda fibbed to Jose and said I was a total punk rocker…and that I have pink highlights in my hair….I figured Mommy wouldn’t let me do that…so I did the next best think and made a mess when she was giving me the pink stuff….Viola…pink fur highlights.

So yeah…me and Jose talk on the computer all night long….he’s so sofistikated. He uses really big words…he says his Mom is a genius and she teaches him a lot. She sounds like a totally kewl person. I’m gonna talk to him again tonight..I’ll let you know what goes on….he’s terriff!!!

Soooo….what do you guys think of Montee’s comedian abilities??? Whats he tryin to be, the next Monty Hall……more like Montee Stall….his delivery is so slow…kinda like the walk he’s taking with Mommy, has to be slow so he can keep up.

Bada boom bada bing…..I’m the comedian of this family, you can’t touch this….

I’m Mollee!!!!
