are true companions, with personalities,
feelings and the ability to form deep
relationships with humans," explains

"And the more the human partner
invests in the relationship — in time,
training, quality foods, even pampering
— the richer the bond." LI

her royal subjects at her pawtips: her Grrrizon plush dog toy by Haute Diggity Dog ($9.99) from Napier's
Kennel Shop, her Hairy Winston ring toy by Haute Diggity Dog ($10.99) from DogmaCatmantoo and, of
course, her squeaky plush Chewnel #5 France ($10.99; Haute Diggity Dog from DogmaCatmantoo) to
dab behind her long, fluffy ears. She stays comfy yet commanding in a black patent raincoat with pink
plaid trim by Mud Puppies ($27) from the Uppity Puppy in Royal Oak (248-336-2380:

barrette ($8.75) from the Uppity Puppy keeps the fur out of her wise eyes and a sparkle in her carriage.
