Dear Whorange,

I will soon be obtaining a cuddly little love muffin of a puppy, and feel there is no better way to lavish a new bundle of joy than spoiling it rotten with lush accessories.

My dilemma - I have slaved over my decor too much to risk ruining its beauty with a doudy fleece pillow bed from PetSmart.

Do you know of any good places to score some groovy trimmings and frills for my future mid century pooch?

Many thanks,
Jackie

P.S. Your hair is more fab. than any cool cat on the block.
