Goggles Going to the Dogs

Niki sporting a pair of pink goggles

Just try to pass up a cute little dog wearing pink goggles.

I couldn't. I was at the Long Beach Farmers' Market when I saw Niki, a 4-year-old chihuahua/dachshund mix being carried by Nancy Jones of Seal Beach, Calif. I stopped Jones to inquire about Niki's unusual attire. Seems that dogs' eyes are just as sensitive as humans and need protection from the sun.

Niki was being carried by Jones in a special pouch that Jones makes for dogs weighing up to 10 pounds. Her custom pet carriers are made from a selection of fabric and lining that you can mix and match. So if you are up for pampering your pooch in style, check out pawpucci.com.
