Bonnie Bitondo is the proprietor of Maxwell & Molly's Closet. She is also pleased to say that Maxwell, Molly, Milo and Pipsqueak are her four precious treasures.

Bonnie stopped teaching first grade to take care of her grandson for his first 5 years. However, when he left for Kindergarten, Bonnie realized that she would need another outlet for her "energetic personality".

So...she read about the Main Street program beginning in Newton. She has loved to shop in town for many years and thought it would be a wonderful program in which to become involved. She decided to seek out a building on Spring Street in need of some loving attention.

She considered then what type of shop Spring Street, and Newton, might enjoy and patronize. She considered a plus size ladies' boutique, a baby boutique, or a pet boutique...all having an exciting atmosphere, and guaranteed to please everyone.

She finally decided that her true passion was her 'puppies'.

Bonnie has traveled through three states in order to provide the best of what is out there for her own pet's needs. When she decided to open a pet boutique, she vowed to stock only the products which she would place in, on, and/or near, her own dogs.

Ah, Maxwell.

He was Bonnie's first.

Having had cats for many years, Bonnie met a dog belonging to her friend, Lois.

He is a Yorkshire Terrier by the name of Jonsey. Well, Bonnie fell in love with Jonsey on that crisp fall day.

Valentine's Day was coming, as was Bonnie's 30th Wedding Anniversary. She and her husband decided to celebrate by finding themselves a Yorkshire of their own.

Well, they had so much fun with Maxwell, they found a little girl this time ...Molly.

Molly, Molly, Molly!

She was born on December 17, of 2005, and after spending the necessary time (12 weeks) with her mom, Molly came home to live with Bonnie and Maxwell in March of 2006.

Now, keep in mind, that the breeder was partially responsible for what happened next....and that would be Milo.

Yep, the breeder was retiring. So Bonnie decided to make one final leap and bring home Milo on January 25, 2007.

Yes Milo is a mere 6 months old at the time we are opening the boutique.

And he just taunts, teases, and wants everything and everything that Maxwell and Molly have.
