Have you met my sweet goldendoodle pup, Mona?
She was quite the model for my recent professional organizing project and has been helping me in front of the camera since she was only a few months old! Just look at her pose in this video clip I did for Brite Lite. TOO CUTE.
And yes, I’m that dog mom who has an Instagram Highlight dedicated to her pup. You know you wanna watch it!
Mona is more than just a gorgeous prop, stylish model, and adorable furry photo assistant. She’s a rescue pup who’s full of joyful energy. She is a friend to everyone she meets and makes the whole neighborhood smile on our daily walks. She gets me out of bed every morning, keeps me company while I work from home every day and keeps me active with multiple walks and sometimes runs per day! Her running record is 5 miles!

10. Wild One Poop Bag Carrier

If you have to pick up your dog’s poop, why not make it stylish? (And let’s not get started on people who don’t pick up after their pups. You’re giving us all a bad name!) These fun, colorful bag dispensers clip easily to your dog’s leash. I personally love the blush one.
