Jeder Hundefan sammelt im Laufe seines Lebens sicher das Ein oder Andere vierbeinige Accessoire.
Schön, wenn es dann nicht nur als Staubfänger fungiert, sondern auch einer echten Aufgabe nachkommt.
Diesmal habe ich ein paar gut aussehende Hundekumpels rekrutieren können, die Euch Zweibeinern bei der Ordnung ein wenig unter die Arme greifen. Und das, obwohl mir Ordnung - zum Leidwesen meines Frauchens - so gar nicht liegt.
Beim Sortieren von Zeitschriften und Büchern geben sie ihr Bestes, aber seht selbst.
Diese beiden französischen Bulldoggen machen es sich nach getaner Arbeit auf einem Kissen bequem. Es gibt sie wahlweise in Weiß oder Schwarz - gefunden bei ebay:
(English version:) Each dog fan accumulated during his life, certainly the one or the other four-legged accessory.
Perfect, if it doesn't only act as a dust catcher then, but also fulfills a real task.
This time I was able to recruit a few good looking dog buddies that help you humans to tidy up.
Even though I hate tidiness - to the regret of my mistress....
When sorting magazines and books they do their best, but see for yourself.
These two French Bulldogs are relaxing on a pillow after doing their work. Available in either white or black - found on ebay:
Diese zwei kubistisch anmutenden Terrier stehen auf schwarzen Resinsockeln im Marmorlook. Sind am Besten in einem von Klassikern belegten Regal aufgehoben... - gefunden bei Houzz.
These two cubist looking Terrier are standing on a black base in marble look - found at Houzz.
Dieser Dackel ist schon fast legendär - stammt er doch vom Designpapst Jonathan Adler.
Erhältlich mit rosafarbenem oder blauen Sockel.
This dachshund is almost legendary - because he comes from the icon of design "Jonathan Adler"
Available with pink or blue base.
Diese Windhunde verlieren nicht einmal durch ihre quietschpinke Farbe an Eleganz - gefunden bei KARE design.
These greyhounds don't even lose their elegance with this loud colours - found at KARE design.
Wohl weniger für die staubtrockene Lektüre ist dieses ironische Pärchen gedacht. Aus Metall - gefunden bei Knob Creek Metal Arts.
This ironic couple need some funny literature. Made of metal - found at Knob Creek Metal Arts.
Diese Farbe! Ich mag sie einfach! Und mein Frauchen auch. Somit sind wir auch mal einer Meinung (kommt selten genug vor...) - gefunden bei Pottery Barn. Die liefern übrigens auch endlich nach Deutschland!
Look at this color! I adore it! And my mum also. Thus we are de facto in complete agreement (really a rare event ...) - found at Pottery Barn.
Die Italiener können einfach alles, was mit Design zu tun hat. Das stellen sie sogar bei solch simplen Dingen, wie Buchstützen unter Beweis. Gefunden bei Spisani.
The Italians are perfect in everything that has to do with design. They even put in such simple things as bookends to the test. Found at Spisani.
Freunden der vornehmen Zurückhaltung sei dieses Exemplar ans Herz gelegt: Blasslila Keramik - gefunden bei Overstock.
Friends of elegant restraint will love this: Pale Purple Ceramics - found at Overstock.
Für die Handwerker unter meinen Lesern habe ich noch ein besonders Schmankerl aufgetan. Eine Anleitung, wie man diese (oder Ähnliche) Buchstützen selber macht. Farbe und Rasse kann somit jeder selber wählen. Anleitung gefunden bei Irresistible Pets.
For the craftsmen I found a special treat. An instructions on how to do this (or similar) Bookends by yourself. Any color and breed is possible. Instructions found in Irresistible Pets.
Also wenn's nach mir ginge, ich würde ja auf der einen Seite einen Terrier (mich) und auf der anderen Seite eine Katze basteln. - Aber mich fragt ja keiner....
For what it's worth, I'd build a terrier (me) on one side, and on the other a cat. - But no one asks me, as usual....

Of dogs and boxes
Yeah, it's summer! Let's go outside in the greens!
Fortunately I have some square feet belonging to me, so my mistress is currently working there at any minute of the day for some snipping and plucking, raking and digging (why is she allowed to but not me??)...
But let's get on with it: I found some interesting accessories for your garden space that even suits a balcony or looks like a stylish statue inside the house.
Some wired cages moulded like dogs for planting and shaping box-trees or moss. Once again found at ebay Germany.
I like the look of a rough scribble and wouldn't destroy this with planting something in. But decide:

That's all fine, but my choice of a garden sculpture would be a hydrant.

high-glass dogs
Once again sorry for my bad working morale... Time's running and I have got my paws full.
In order to know what to do, my mistress created a cushion for me that shows my daily to-do-list.
So I will nevermore forget anything...
Look:
If you are interested, it's available at her shop: www.paraperro.de
But now for something completely different: My latest web-tours.
I found a nice german eBay-shop a couple of days ago where a girl is selling lovely dog-breeds made of italian Murano-glass.
The figures are only 6.5 cm (2.6") high, are made lovingly & with a lot of typical details of the real breed.
The sellers' name is »8010katharina« and she is selling worldwide.
Check out her shop, she has nearly every dog breed available, also rare breeds.
Here's a small selection of her latest offers:

Thanx mistress for this mind memory, it works!

Do(g) it yourself: treat-containers
Because it's getting more & more unpleasant outside and time's running up to christmas, I've decided to show you some nice ideas and handicrafts in the upcoming weeks.
Today I'm starting with a really nice DIY-idea by »Diane Henkler« - published at the platform »momtastic«.
At this platform you'll find the full instructions to develop your very own dog-food container made out of an old can. Everybody will envy your talent, wanna bet? - But don't panic, it's really easy. It only appears stylish and pricy....
Buddies, enough is enough - time to roll up your sleeves and get started!
P.S. You can send me pics of your finished containers and your own ideas of labels and creations.
I'll show them in one of my next posts.

Birthday pickings
First I'd like to thank all my friends & congratulators that made my (birth)day.
Everything was perfect - even if my deepest wishes (see my post from below) didn't came true...
But I had a lot of attention this day, and got some really f-u-n-tastic gifts.
After getting dressed by my mistress - as usual she put me on this awful crown - I had to pose amidst my gifts for the daily press:
I got a new »paraperro® cushion«, made by my mistress. It's an outdoor cushion and I'm going to be the test-dog for this model. When I'm chuffed about it, it's going to be produced next year.
Then I received a brandnew porcelain water-bowl that was designed by »Rosenthal« with a jolly print by Andy Warhol.
And also my mistress made a tasty cupcake of apple, zucchini and eggs, ornated by a »7« of some liver sausage, mhhhh!
B.t.w.: I didn't know what the green thing on the top of the cake has been for, it tasted unbearable...
Later that day - as you can see I still had to wear this crown - another present arrived.
My absolute adored liver-cake made by the german dog-bakery »Lehmann«.
There's only one question left: Why do I only have birthday once a year?
I've heard that 1 dog year counts like 7 human years!
So wouldn't it be fair to celebrate 6 times more?

wishing well
Yeah buddies, time's running. And thus my birthday isn't far away anymore.
This time I won't celebrate like last year, I'm just hanging around with some of my dearest friends.
I checked out some birthday presents that I'll await tomorrow. Maybe my wishes will come true...
These things would make my day:
1. Getting some lovely arranged flowers from my mistress in the morning.
Flowers found at »Snooty Paws«
2. Getting a really delicious & huge dog-cake for breakfast - of cause just for me.
Cake found at the lovely Blog of »Laurie Arons«
3. Having a refreshing bath with my buddies in a perfect shaped pool.
Bone-shaped swimmingpool found at the Blog »chicken smoothie«
4. And last but not least: Receiving a present that utterly looks like me!
Supercute key-chain made by »Leatherprince«
Will soon post some pics what really happened tomorrow.
Keep your fingers crossed for an amazing day!

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!

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!
Anton

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....

How to spell a Labrador
It's no secret that we dogs cannot read a word (some of my colleagues even don't understand one, too....). But this was no obstacle for printmaker & illustrator Leslie Evans of »Sea Dog Press« to create an alphabet by using her Labrador-dog "Morgan".
The lovely print shows him during his daily routine in sleeping, relaxing and hanging around - and it shows impressively that we dogs are much more clever than it sometimes seems:

Poster of Morgan, that clever dog, in the shape of the alphabet |size 10×32.5 | Offset printed in two colors on recycled paper

Dieting
Hello again & happy new year my dear friends!
New Year's resolutions mostly mean slimming - even in my case. The cookies were too delicious and there were so many things that dropped down the dining table directly into my mouth....
But don't worry, I didn't only let grass grow under my feet during the past two weeks and also took the time to explore the internet for some new interesting things.
Because currently I often suffer from collywobbles, the following doormats speak from my heart:


Both available at Amazon:
»One bite«
»Two bites«
Enjoy!
