It all started because I couldn't find a Minnesota Viking Cheerleader outfit for Rua.  So, I did what any good OCMD would do...I went to the fabric store and bought material to make her one.  As I was asking for 1/4 yd here, 1/2 yd there, a scrap of this or that, they are asking me..."Ummm...just what are you making?"  I proudly say "I'm making a cheerleader outfit for my little girl, Rua".  "Oh how cute...how old is your baby?"  "Well, she's actually a Doodle", I say.  At that point, they almost roll their eyes.

 

But tell me, how can they not understand and think she isn't adorable?

 

The next time I went in (to get material to make a couple of FL Gator outfits for Brulee & Tira), the same person helped me and remembered me.  I think they started to come around when I showed them how cute Rua looked...well, almost.

 

When I met my friend Susan in Iowa City a month ago, we went into a quilt shop to find some material to make a cute little dress for Rua.  When the store personnel started asking me about quilting, I said "I don't quilt".  When I went to check out, she  said "I thought you didn't sew".  I said, "no, I said I didn't quilt.  I am making my dog a dress."   I wish I could have taken a picture of the look and expression on her face.  It truly was rude and I came really close to leaving the store, but I felt sorry for her...she has never known the love of a dog.

 

For Halloween last year, Rua was only 3 months old and couldn't really go out.  So, I bought her a XS little princess outfit.  She weighed 6.4lbs and I would bring her to the door when the kids came to the door.

 

Rua is destined to be a little princess, so this year, she is going to be a Medieval Princess.  She will be attending a "Growl-o-ween" party next Saturday, October 22nd, so I have to get busy tomorrow and make her a costume.  It happened again...they just don't understand.

 

I have finally come to accept that I am an Obsessive Compulsive Doodle Mom and proud of it!  I'll post pictures of Princess Rua once I finish the costume.

Crazy talented maybe!!!!

They just don't know any better....you have mad sewing skills, I wish I did. Daisy has to settle for internet costumes it's hard to find cute when they weigh 65lbs (check out Verns lion costume LOL).

I am seriously impressed that you are taking a photo and making an outfit for little princess Rua. You keep on sewing. : - )

Can't wait for the new photos.

Dori, little Rua is certainly the perfect dog for you.  Thank goodness you didn't end up with a Doodle like my two...they would have the little outfits ripped to shreds in minutes.  She is the cutest and sweetest little princess EVER, and she's lucky to have a "Doodle Obsessed" Mom like you.
I'm going to place an order for duncan's next year costume! OMD you're so talented. Rua makes the cutest lil MVK cheerleader! And i can't wait to see that medival princes costume....
Dori, you are truly talented and Rua is the cutest little doodle...'naked' or dressed.  I have zero sewing skills so I admire your skills even more.  Every year my children need Saint costumes for our school's All Hallow's Party and I struggle every time.  This year I copped out and bought my little guy armour and he is going as St. George the Dragon Slayer--anything to avoid highlighting my lack of crafting skills!
I am impressed with your sewing abilities.  You are a multi-talented OCDM!
Totally impressed. I'd do the same if I knew how!
this is so cute!!!! Rua looks absolutely adorable in that cheerleader outfit!!! Non-dog people really just don't get it...and we should be rolling our eyes at them!! They're really missing out!
I don't think Rua could look any cuter than she does in the clothes you make her! Dori, you really do an amazing job tailoring things to fit her perfectly. So fun!
Amante will be a knight in shining armor. We should photo shop them together!! LOL My DH just rolled his eyes.
It does sound crazy Dori, but Rua looks so cute! Your very talented at making her clothes too!
I think Rua is adorable especially when naked but I do understand your feelings.
lol wow! I wish I could make Parker a Florida gator's jersey myself! But he will have to settle for the store bought kind because I can barely sew a button! Can't wait to see Rua in her new Halloween costume!
