Meet our new mascot, Pushkin!

Ok, ok, so he’s not a pony. But come on, a pony–even a small one–would be pretty hard to keep in the shop, don’t you agree? So instead we got this little guy: a foot-long, roly-poly bundle of seriously excruciating cuteness!


We’ve only had him a week, but he’s already turning out to be an excellent shop dog. He rolls around all over the floor to polish it and is always trying to help by pulling bags out of the stack under the counter, even when no one’s buying anything! (Silly Pushkin.) Plus, he’s got great taste. Just yesterday a customer was checking out a pair of skinny jeans and Pushkin pulled the perfect belt out of the basket to go with them. He’s very enthusiastic and thinks every piece of clothing looks great on everyone (though we’re trying to teach him to be a little bit more discerning and constructive). For a puppy, he’s pretty mellow, and above all, sweeter and more cuddly than any pony could ever be!

So a little bit more about him:
  • Age: 3 months
  • Breed: English bulldog
  • Lineage: Russian on one side (hence the name, after Alexander Pushkin), British on the other. His grandfather is a prize-winning show dog named BritishPride the Gambler!
  • Sign: Taurus
  • Email address: pushkinisabully@aol.com

If you email him, he promises to write back. Heck, he might even send you epic works of Russian poetry!
