When I was a young pup, Mom tried like anything to make me wear clothes. She started with these bright pink diapers, then moved on to a funky little collar, and then the fanciest coat I’d ever seen. I absolutely hated what she was trying to make me wear. I’d roll around on the floor constantly and tried like anything to rip those crazy duds off with my teeth. In the scheme of things…

I’d rather be naked.

No shade to those pups that love to rock the latest doggie fashion, but it’s just not me. I love to show off my copper brown fur and feel the sunlight on my back. I can’t do that if I’m constantly covering up what makes me…me. I’ve learned that…

Being yourself is the boldest fashion statement you can ever make.

Mom just stopped trying. I’m ok with a bow every now and then. If I’m really feelin’ it, I might even rock a bandana. Especially, if I’m coming straight from the groomers. But other than that, I’m cool with just me and my curly fur.

These Girl Scout inspired Samoa Pupcakes are perfect for any pup who’s bold enough to be herself.
