Take a nip to the loo

It's a matter of fact that some dogs love to sip out of the toilet. It's not my alley, so I don't have any explication or excuse for this behaviour. But apart from that: For all dog owners it's an really awkward affair...
My advice: Take these doggish things with a sense of humour! I found a damned funny water bowl, that will rock you with laughter - as well as every guest you'll host in the future.
Wanna bet?

 The CSB Dog Toilet Bowl available at »perpetual kid« or »Amazon«

Bottoms up, my friends!

Saddle up & ride your bike

Do you also like bicycling? Every time my mistress fetches her bike, I'm getting totally excited!
I love running sideway to her and pull her like a Husky his sleigh.
A few days ago I found the perfect companion for me and her: The German »Satteltier« (translated in English it maybe would be a »Saddlepet«), designed by the Swiss Tilo Ahmels.
These supercute and practical coats for the saddle of your bike are made out of nylon and avoid getting a wet bum. Available in Black or White:

Enjoy your ride!

Yummy Beauty

When people are invited by dog-owners, they often don't know what to bring along.
I found a very pleasant thing at the internet that turns some simple treats and a preserving jar into a perfect "made-with-love-gift".
With the »Jam-Labelizer« you can easy design your own Dogtreat-Label. There are different colours and designs available - you only have to type some words, print it, glue it, and: Here you are!

Actually it's made for labeling homemade marmelade - but why not also for your best friend of your best friend? Or your own best friend?
Check it out - it's fun!

 

Here are two of the designs you can choose from:

 

And also try the »Beer-Labelizer« - perfect for the thirsty lordling...

Teacup dog

It's really healthy to drink enough every day. So why not celebrate your thirst in an elegant way?

Wow - that rhymes...

I found a superlovely teapot - topped with a lid that looks like a cheeky puppy - and comes with two integrated pastel coloured cups.
It's created by the Japanese designer, Shinzi Katoh (via »ModCloth«) who is well known in making book illustrations and product design.

For me the only cup dog that I'll ever accept...

spring fever

It's becoming spring! The tulips and hyacinths are growing in my garden and I'm feeling totally excited about that.
Some of my collegues feel much more excited about other things - called reproduction.
Luckily that's not one of my problems, but I sympathise with their typical symptoms named absence of appetite, insomnia and heartache.
I found a really interesting solution for their pain in terms of a »Hot Doll« - a sexdoll and companion for dogs. Available in vicious black or virginial white:


I, personally, think that it doesn't look like a typical "playmate". For me it's a design object for a stylish home.
But it is purportedly: Love is blind.

Ouch!

My dearest friends.
Most of you certainly know how it feels when you have to go to the vet:
It's a terrible nightmare!
The most degrading thing is when he prescribes a cone of shame. (B.t.w. it's the perfect definition of this awful object...)
Julia Duncan-Roitman, the founder of »Pink Baby Mouse Shop« doesn't only breed mice (yeah, it's true, buddies!) - she also designed these incredible "Cone Pillows" that show different dog breeds on colourful fabrics.


P.S.
Dear talented inventors & designers.
It would be really kind, if you would give some attention to the look of these horrible cones of shame. I'm sure it would be a profitable job for you...And I swear that all dogs in the world - including me - would be deeply grateful.
Kind regards and a big woofeee!

Pugs go fashion

If you're dotty about everything that's OOAK, these couture-dressed pugs will hit you on:
20 of the world-famous designers - from Versace to Balmain - clothe a cuddly pug, made by the german established company »Steiff«.

This special edition can currently be astonished in Florence | Italy at »Luisa Via Roma» until it will be sold in March by ebay-auctions in aid of Unicef to support disadvantaged children:

My true followers know that I'm an advocate of being undressed, but because it's for a good cause, I'm going to turn a blind eye...

Beauty sleep

I know that there are several dogs out there, who are allowed to sleep in the bed of their humans. Sadly this privilege isn't mine....
But maybe after my mistress will see this beautiful duvet cover made by the famous spanish designer »Amaya Arzuaga« her scandalous behaviour will change:



It would fit perfect to my home, because nobody could see my white hair onto the sheets - not even my mistress after brushing me off....

Last-minute-valentine's-diy

For everybody who's still uninspired of a valentine's gift, I found something really special and self-made at the blog of Allison Cooling, member of »Quiet Lion Creation«.

Here she shows a pic-by-pic tutorial for making a cute dog-necklace that really looks similar to the high-priced-equivalent of Scottish designer »And Mary«.
Furthermore the original pendant only exists with a pug - and not everybody loves pugs, eh?

So let's get started to do some handicrafts!

The Original:


The "Fake":


Time to celebrate a happy Valentine's Day!

shoe to chew

Well, I think it must be the smell that temps us dogs to steal the shoes of our family members. As you certainly know, this behaviour unfortunately always has repercussions....
Finally I have good news for all those shoe-fetishists of you (Attention, I don't mean the problem all women seem to have...):
This awesome dog toy by »CB2« has the original shape and a true-to-life print of an old shoe. It's made out of canvas and filled with cotton. So, enjoy your meal!


The only thing that's missing is the lovely smell of a human day afoot. What a bummer!
