My New Pyjamas… (Don’t laugh!)

I was very indignant that several doggies made fun of my wardrobe in some of my recent posts – yes, you know who you are! - Humph! I’ll have you know that I think I am the height of doggie fashion! :evil:

My pink stretchy fleece vest is actually from DoggieJama – my humans originally got it ‘coz they were worried I’d be cold at night back in NZ ‘coz of my short fur – but in the end it was a bit too small and thin, so they got a bigger one made at the tailor with fleece they found themselves and so now I just use this one as a light coat. It’s great as it is really stretchy and comfortable and unlike most dog coats, there is nothing tying around my middle so I can run and jump and do anything in it comfortably. And I think the pale pink with black accents is very Chanel…thank you very much!

Then for when it’s really cold outside, my humans got me another coat from Greyhounds As Pets (GAP) back in NZ – it is double-sided polar fleece, really lovely and soft and warm – in a beautiful purple and grey leopard skin pattern. I think it’s very ‘French chic’ – n’est-ce pas? :P My humans were really pleased to find it ‘coz most doggie coats they looked at:  a) don’t come in a big enough size (even in XXL) and b) weren’t made with my body shape in mind – ‘coz I’m very narrow but I have a VERY deep chest and a big “tuck up”. But Greyhounds have a similar body shape so my humans found that a greyhound coat fit me perfectly, as long as they got a custom-made XXXXXL size! ;)

.

I think I look gorgeous in both of these – how dare you make fun of me! :evil:

Well, if you want to laugh – then take a look at my new pyjamas then! ;)

See – since my Rally-O & Tricks class finished at the Brisbane RSPCA Animal Training Centre, Hsin-Yi has been looking for another thing that we can do together once a week – and so we’ve joined one of the classes at the Metro Dog Obedience Club.

We had been to the Metro Club before just to practise our dancing by ourselves but now we’re joining one of the Obedience classes with lots of other doggies.  Hsin-Yi is very proud of me ‘coz they assessed me and said I can go in the Advanced Class! (I will tell you more about my classes and show you a video in another post…)

 

…anyway, on the first night we were there to join the class, Hsin-Yi saw another doggie wearing the most amazing fleecy pyjama-type thing which looked so warm and comfy – so she immediately went over to ask the doggie’s human where she got it from. Well, the lady told Hsin-Yi that she had made it herself! And she also said she would make one especially for me – and bring it the following week! :D

Now, of course, I do already have a very nice pyjama – well, more like a fleece nightgown really. This is the version of the DoggieJama that my humans got the tailor to make up, extra long and wide, so that it covers me up more when I’m sleeping. I love my nightgown and it’s really soft and warm and comfy – but it does leave my legs uncovered and the neckline is a bit desabillé and draughty, to tell you the truth…

 

In fact, on really cold nights, my humans would be worried about me and would put my big black fleece blanket on me as well…but of course, I’d always move in the night and the blanket would fall off – and nobody would be there to cover me up again – so they’d find me in the morning curled up into a tight little ball, with my ears really cold! :(

So when my humans saw these pyjamas that this other doggie at the Metro Club was wearing, they thought it was the perfect solution!! There would be no part of me that would be cold after this…

…Ta Da!

Whew! I need a nap just to recover from putting that thing on! ;)

.

Anyway, I LOVE it!

It is so gorgeous and soft and very stretchy and comfortable. And look – it’s even got a hole at the back so I can do a ‘midnight wee’ without having to take it off! :P And the lady only charged us $30!

.

My humans say I look ADORABLE in it! :D

.

OK – am all ready for bed now!

.

.

.

Whatcha' looking at?

.

Go on - you can laugh all you want – I don’t care – I’m the one who’s warm and snuggly at night…Huh! So there! :P

    oh Honeydog!! I should NOT have let Mom read your post. Now she’s gonna want to go out and get me a jacket & some pj’s!

    Luckily, it really never gets very cold here in Sandy Eggo, so hopefully once she’s read your post and starts going back to real life, she’ll forget all about it.

    pee. S. I think you look Beeauuutiful!

  2. Hi Honey

    We love your jammies! And we’re about to do a post on Rupert’s clothes -- because he’s so skinny he needs to wear a coat when we go out, and jammies at night. We found a place in Brisbane that does a lot of different types, and they also custom-make things -- http://www.fluppies.com.au/

    Sasha’s not so keen on clothes, but she reluctantly agrees to wear her raincoat because we go out twice a day, regardless of the weather!

    We hope you get lots of use out of your new jammies!

    Puppy kisses
    Sasha & Rupert

    Oh Honey,
    I think you look adorable in all your clothes. The pj’s look very cozy.

    I admit, I am eyeing a plaid, taffeta dress with a bow for my sister’s new havanese girlies, Daisy. Surely, she needs a party dress.

    I’m glad your blog is back up and running. I was getting worried for a couple days, when I was getting evil messages saying it had gone bad.

    I wouldn’t put it on my own dog, but I know Daisy will love it.

    My dogs do wear their coats & boots! Boots are no fun when you have 2 dogs. That’s 8 paws! Good thing they’re velcro, not laces.

  4. Stephanie Shear says:

    Oh Honey you look gorgeous no matter what you do or wear! I think my son has the same color pjs and he loves them too!

  5. Homer says:

    Hello Honey Darling!

    First of all, love your website! I think it’s cool. How the heck did you do it? The Missus kinda ‘give up’ on helping me to build a website of my own. She says it’s too complicated with all the technology terms, internet jargons…sigh whatever. Perhaps we should go ‘pester’ Julie and Hu-Dad from Thundering Herd for help!

    That’s a very nice pyjamas you’ve got! You look booti-ful!

    Love,
    Homer

  6. Bolo says:

    You look GORGEOUS Honey. Don’t know why anyone would say otherwise.

  7. We love your new pyjamas and we agree -- you do look adorable !
    Love from Bella and Ollie.

  8. Tucker says:

    Oh Honey -- I luvs your poopin & peeing capable pajamas! I understand needing to be warm. I use fleece blankets & I have coats in the winter.

    woof -- Tucker

  9. Oh. My. Gosh.
    I am just cracking up at this post. Honey I LOVE your new jammies! Elle definitely needs a pair!!!
    She has a hot pink (of course!) jacket for the winter since it gets SO COLD in Chicago, but I think she could definitely use something to sleep in too!

  10. House and Jeannette says:

    My Jeannette wants one for me! She is (and Ron my other boss he he! ) tired of getting up to me two or three times in the night to cover me over( Melbourne has been really cold) . I very polite about it ,I just go to their door shake my ears so they flap and then run straight back onto my bed so they can cover me over. sometimes I also go out for ‘quick quicks’ (wees etc) and then I will have a really big drink before going back to bed :) he! he! this can make them a bit grumbly.
    Anyway that looks fantastic Honey so snug and soft.

    Maybe that Lady could make a small business making those pj’s for us Danes?

    slobbers House and Jeannette

  11. Well, we think your wardrobe is FABULOUS! Of course, I have a pink sweatshirt, Lola has a leopard print coat and Mom has bought patterns to make us lots of things (including a pair of PJs like yours!)! We get cold in the winter and I won’t even go outside unless I have my coat on!

    Hugs and Tail Wags,

  12. Honey, your pyjamas are awesome! You look so snuggly and warm. I have a lot of hair so I NEVER get cold. I wish I could take my fur on and off! -- Darwin

  13. Yes, yes, I LOVE your new blue pj Honey.
    Not only Hsin-Yi thinks you look adorable in it but I could see Paul’s admiration in the background as well, haha! ( No I didn’t laugh at you Honey).
    Sleep tight, sleep warm in that cozy pj, ok sweety.
    Love y’all

  14. Brodie The Yellow Lab says:

    Honey!!!!!! You are soooo cute in your beautiful p.j.s!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!

  15. Ricky says:

    I have to admit that while I am laughing so hard and rolling on the floor, I can see how warm those jammies would be for you -- too bad I can’t just loan you some of my fur!

  16. sprinkles says:

    Oh Honey, I would never make fun of you! You’re a beautiful girl and you look wonderful in whatever you wear. I love that leopard print outfit.

    I’ve never really put clothes on my dogs because I used to have a fox terrier that I tried to put a jacket on during the winter. She fought and growled at me when I tried to put it on her. Then when I got Chico, his owners gave me 2 shirts for him. He let me put them on but whenever he’d go outside to do his business, he’d come in all wet.

  17. I like your Union Suit, Honey!

  18. Wild Dingo says:

    hahahahahahahahahaa! ya, um, don’t let them catch you wanderin’ the streets. you look like an escaped convict! good thing it isn’t orange! (JUST kidding!) Personally, I LOVE the leapord print jacket thingie. that’s to DIE for! and we know what cold ears are like. Loki’s always on the cold side and juno’s always on the hot side and well, there’s never any compromises! sigh.

    we think you look adorable. and we love the open back door.

  19. Helen says:

    What a lucky doggy you are Honey, your new pyjamas look really nice and warm! Both of my doggies have lots of coats too, I will have to do a similar post sometime with them modelling theirs. Theirs too are all practical and not silly frilly ones like you see some dogs wearing.

    Honey, you look so cute in it! I love it!
    That lady cand start a business with these pijamas; she could sell them on e-bay for way more than $30.

  24. Oh my god Honey, I laughed so hard lemonade came out of my nose, that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time, but you DO look warm and thats the most important thing. You sort of remind me off a wee child in a onesie. Definitly cute. But also definitely hilarious. Glad you got the new website up and running -- we were worried you had dissappeared for ever!

  25. Cheryl says:

    OH MY GAWD that is the cutest thing I have ever seen. I adore your pj’s Honey! I wish I had them for myself!

  26. That is great! Our human thinks you look all cuddly and sweet!!

  27. Mango says:

    Oh Miss Honey! I would never make fun of your goofy outfits! Ever! I do find the bottom cut out in your new jammies to be a bit suggestive. Oh dear.

    Hey! Are you getting those big dog boo boo’s? Mine got better but now I have a spot of icky grey skin there. Sigh. Just one of the perils of being full sized.

  28. Sapphire says:

    sorry, am laughing. love the butt shot ;p

  29. Lucille says:

    Honey,
    you must be really warm in that…
    If I think that my human made me go out to dog training and -2 degrees without a coat.. I needed to bite her more…
    Really cool -- I love it… you should by also a pink one, so you have a change for the time it needs washing!
    Ciao Lucille

  30. Daniel Bergh says:

    That is some great storytelling! I got some great laughs reading the comments to the pictures. Honey is great and so is this blog!

  31. Dawn King says:

    Oh Honey! You look adorable! Giggle.

  32. Moose says:

    Who on earth would laugh at your adorable channel Jacket and the so chic faux leopard coat! Your nighty is cute too but kinda matronly and hides your figure! It does look comfy and a little warmer that being nekkid though. Now your latest PJs… he he he. Do you look adorable? Yes. Always! They definitely look well fitting and well constructed, but he he he… can’t say that I did not chuckle at first! Still you are one haute couture doggie and I predict that you will start a trend that is totally gonna take off!

  33. Marjie says:

    If your coat and jammies work for you, the let the naysayers think what they will. My people won’t let me out for very long in winter, because of cold, and they fuss over putting me in a draft proof room for sleepies. I won’t wear a coat, but it’s nice that you will!

  34. Miss Kodee says:

    Honey I think large dogs with short hair get colder then little dogs that look like mops such as myself and Miz Becky!! We can curl up small to snuggle. YOu look fabulous in your new clothes and I hope they provide you lots of warmth while you sleep and train outdoors! Sleep tight!
    <3 Miss Kodee

  35. The OP Pack says:

    Honey, we are not laughing at you at all, you look great in your new jammies. We have a very thick coat so we don’t need to wear clothes at all, but we sure wish it could be cold here now.

    We really aren’t able to blog right now very much but we have been reading your other posts.

  36. hhahahahha. oh honey. i have to admit that i did laugh at your new pj’s but only because they are so cute! and the price cant be beat for a large doggie such as yourself!

  37. Hey Honey,
    It is soooo wonderfuls to finally meet you. I thinks you is one funny girl too.
    I promise I ain’t gonna laughs at you pj’s BUT how much material did you haves to have? Hehehehe! Okays, I stop….

    I would never laugh at you, I think you looks beautiful & cozy.

    A lady like you looks beautiful no matter what you wear!

  39. Lorenza says:

    You look adorable!
    Your pj’s are pawesome! I love them! Maybe I need to tell my grandma about them because the ones we have seen… are not long enough for me!

  40. Kaj says:

    Wow honey!!! That looks so comfy!!! You should tell that lady to make a website!! And sell those dad says he would buy a dozen, one for everynite.

  41. Bundy says:

    I would never laugh at you! I too think you look gorgeous! My mom thinks that your new PJ serves 2 purposes; you all warm and cuddly, and Hsin Yi warm and sweaty for putting it on you :o ))

  42. preston says:

    Hi Honey, I am not laughing (mom is though). You should see some of stuff my mom put on me…it was turely humiliating..
    Your PJ looks very comfy and you look so cute in it. Mommy laughed because you do look like you were ready for bed. Mom complained she wasn’t able to find clothes big enough for me easily. I was amazed you have such a nice wardrobe. The taylor maded PJ is definitely a perfect fit for you.
    nite nite!

  43. You look awesome in your new pajamas Honey!

    P.S.- I have an award for you at my blog

  44. Hi Honey!
    First of all I love your knew blog! Hope you get your favourite picture back in the top too. =)
    And second… Love your pyjama-thing! I think you have a rather fashionable wardrobe. Unfortunatly, I have so much coat that I can’t wear stuff like that. I would get too hot. But if I ever get clipped I will make sure that I get a pj just like yours, to compensate for all my coat. Besides, I already know how it feels when other doggies and humans laugh at you. Even though most humans, and doggies too, envy my appearance… Not everybody does. Or maybe they do, but they never admit it. Instead they laugh, telling me mean stuff about my gait or tail or coat.. or my pointy nose. They say I look ridiculous. :( Luckily, I know the truth. But sometimes me and my human get a bit uncomfortable.. Especially when we take our evening walk, and some humans have been drinking the “become-stupid-juice” that some of them like so much. Hope that you don’t have to hear comments from stupid humans. They are just.. stupid. ;)

    Oh Honey! I LOVE your pyjamas and jackets! My mom would love to have some for me but I don’t really need them! And I also have a DEEP chest!!! I love you clothes! So adorable!

  46. Betsy says:

    Honey,
    You are absolutely adorable in all your outfits, the blue PJ is the cutest! Is it comfy? I think you like the warmth, the best thing is that you don’t have to remove the clothes when you need to go to the bathroom!
    Thanks for stopping by our site and your kind words!!!

    See you again Honey, stay warm, my brother in law in NZ is huddling as I write this comment!!

  47. Honey, we think you look smashing in all your outfits. If we didn’t have so much fur, we would our Meowm get us some pj’s just like yours!

  48. Cinnamon says:

    Honey, I love your new Pj’s!! You must be well-behaved even when you are sleeping. When it is really cold at night, my mum put a tee shirt on me, but I always take it off while asleep. Pj’s covering arms and legs like yours might be stay on me.

    By the way, I was told that the scheduled Paws N Music competition on Saturday is going to be a demo instead of a competition because they didn’t get enough entries to make it a competition.

  49. parlance says:

    I certainly wouldn’t be laughing at any of those outfits -- they look not only super-fashionable, but also useful, especially the new pjs with the handy hole at one end.

  50. Hope says:

    My mom person and I agreed..the ADORABLE BLUE is you Honey! We loved your new pj’s too….

    Mmmm? now I need a pair! My mom person needs to get to sewing!!!!

    Paws Up!

  51. Bodie & Goo says:

    ROFL Theres not a snowballs chance that Mum would ever wrestle that thang on me any time soon. BODIE

  52. We love your outfits! Right now Lucy sleeps in a sleeping bag when she is cold, but when she gets a little bit bigger we may be looking for some pjs ourselves!

  53. Juneau says:

    Oh no, as warm and cozy as you look in your new PJ’s, you do know that your butt is hanging out? My Momma wants to run right out to the fabric store and get PJ’s started for me. I don’t trust her at the fabric store. She came back yesterday with fabric for my Halloween/birthday costume and I’m not happy. She’s making me a tutu. Don’t we ever get a say in this??

    Your friend,
    Juneau

  54. Amber & Nala says:

    HONEY….that was the best post I’ve read in a while! Those pajamas are great and while yes, I did laugh, a bit uncontrollably (sorry), I also imagine that they are super comfy and warm. I, too, think you look adorable in them. ;)

    Kisses,
    Nala

  55. Savannah the Dane says:

    Honey, you look adorable!!!!!!! My Mom would love to get me a set of pajamas. I am needing them badly! Can you please give me the lady’s contact info????

  56. branson says:

    Oh Honey, I think they are adorable!!!! You look so comfy and I bet it does make for a good night’s sleep. Maybe my mommy will get me some. Right now I just covered up with a sheet at bedtime as mom and dad like to keep the bedroom soooo cold. Those silly humans!

  57. Kay and Rocky says:

    Hi, we need one of these pj’s urgently!!!!! Colour doesn’t matter, but 300 kms west of Brissie it’s getting bitterly cold. Please, where could we get them? Thanks.

  58. Mac says:

    I think there quite cute

  59. Kate And Holly The Rotti says:

    Hi Honey,
    I think your jammies look very swave indeed!
    Now my mummy wants to make me some!
    But its a bit hard because my muscle mass makes my body a little odd shaped :S
    My mummy has been letting me stay in the laundry lately with all this melbourne rain so I hope this means I wont have to wear jammies cause I hate the feeling of wearing things around my body!
    Love Holly the Rotti

  60. Karen says:

    why hello there Honey,
    I was wondering where you got your pretty pajamas & outfits from. could u please send us the info? great dane wear is soooo hard to find! It gets rather cold & snowy where i live. and my mom plans on getting me a brother or sister soon as well. we need to keep warm so we do not get a cold.
    thanks,
    Silias

    • bighoneydog says:

      Hi Silias -- if you read my post, you will see that I said my PJ’s were made by a lady at the dog obedience club I was taking classes at. She made them herself for her own dog and we asked if she could make one for me too. So they are not ordered from a shop -- so unfortunately, I can’t pass on any details to you. Best thing to do is if you contact Metro Dog Obedience club (look back through my post -- I have provided a link to their website) and ask them if there is any way you could contact her. I think her name is Vicki -- she owns 2 Bullmastiffs. Good luck!

    Hello Honey,
    We really like your cozy blue pajamas, Our Maggie gets really cold at night too and I know she would just love a pair or two, and we would love to get them for her Could you please send us the ordering info.
    Thank you so much
