Des, you have such an eye for furbaby fashion! I think the monogramming is a nice feature! You can go into any store around the holidays and purchase some Christmas or Thanksgiving colored thing, but there's no way that you could find something that even comes close to the quality and look of your designs! Now that my babies are approaching 2, and hopefully done growing, I have no problem buying everything w/ their names on it! I too, love the bee and gobble monogramming and cannot wait to see what's in store for Valentines day. Please continue to keep the monogramming as a special option!!
