The Sartorial Archie


At the last transport, I met Archie. Archie is a chihuahua, about three months old.

What sets Archie apart? He’s a fashion hound! As you can imagine, this put Archie squarely in my camera sights. His foster mom, Kathy, told me that Archie loves to be dressed. The outfit he’s pictured in is his favorite. Kathy suspects that Archie is well on his way to becoming one of those sartorialists who wants to pick out his own outfit every day.


Archie defies the foolish notion that pink is for girls.


Archie knows that looking one’s best means considering everything. For example, when choosing to bundle up for warmth, match your blankets to emphasize the highlights in your hair.


Archie believes that when being photographed, a natural background and some Burberry plaid are nice touches.

You know what else Archie thinks? That when you need a foster family, you can’t go wrong with someone who has, through the years, fostered 156 other dogs, and still understands that you’re a unique little fellow who deserves to have your tastes indulged.

I think Archie’s right. Thank you, Kathy, and your family, for opening your home and hearts to Archie. I know the family who adopts him will give him as much love and care as you have. He’ll help them figure out he needs a little fashion in his life, too.

        1. Ears are one of the challenges with these transport photos. When they’re a little uncertain or anxious, most dogs’ ears go flat. Getting them to perk up can be difficult.

          I guess Archie was showing both sides of a dog’s attitude on transport day, further proving his versatility as a model!
