Couch sit-in

A few days ago I found »Cuore« at Etsy. (For everybody who doesn't know what Etsy is: It's an internet-platform that enables creative people all over the world to sell their self-made products.)
»Cuore« is a really big fan of pets - particularly dogs. It's a girl from California | United States that is a freelance designer. Her products are for those who always wanted to have a second (or third or fourth...) dog in the house:

This cute little Chihuahua is "Billie Jean". But I think she has nothing in common with the one in Michael Jacksons song...


This lovely Weiner is called "Teriyaki". He's sleeping all day long, so he doesn't cause any trouble.


"Nuri" the French Bulldog is a real couch-potato...


So is "Jer Jer", the Welsh Corgie. Please keep this in mind when you decide to bargain one of them - you possibly have to yield your own couch...


"Lola" the Boston Terrier is the sceptic dog of the pack. Maybe because everybody mix her up with "Nuri" the French Bulldog, but she's much more into running and jumping.


And "Barbeque", the sleeping Dachshund is always dreaming of grilled chicken, sausages and juicy beef steak, yummy!!

Happy Barkday, last Part (for now)

Thanks for all the emails I received after publishing the pictures of my 6th birthday. Many of you asked me, if it's really true, that I've to wear this embarassing crown each year.
Here comes the proof:


My first birthday we've spended in Mallorca | Spain. We had a fantastic time with beautiful weather and I played a lot with the in-house cat there (a thing I would never do nowadays, because it makes much more fun to chase them).


My 2nd I got two plush toys, one with »naughty« the other with »nice« written on it. What the hell means »nice«?


I don't look sad on this pic of my third birthday - I only cannot await to jump at the bull whip.


Birthday No.4 my mistress donated me a self-sewed mini-pillow that lookes like me. Isn't it cute?


This one is last-years birthday-picture. I like the squeaking-terrier that also looks like me (made by »vom Heimathafen«) and I love the cookie with my name on (but this one only for a few moments).

As you can see: The crown is tradition - whether I like it or not....

Hmmm, people are weird sometimes....

Happy Barkday, Part 2

Yesterday was a day beyond belief for me. Due to my friends and my lovely mistress I had the best day of my life (so far...). Have a look at my private photo album to grab some impressions:

The invitations for my best friends - made by my mistress (like all of the stuff)


Preparing the birthday-table with presents for me and my friends


Some close-up views





(Plush toy by IKEA)


Some treats for my friends to treasure the party (Watch out, these are the real doggy-bags!)

Some party-hats for my friends. Did you see the logo? Yes, it's all me!




One of the party-hats on the head of Wilma...


...and on the head of Fridolin


Unfortunately there is a yearly habit of my mistress to make a birthday-pic with me wearing a little crown. I hate that, but maybe it brings good luck. Grmmmphhhh.


I think I will never understand it...


But I look much smarter than Frido, don't I?


The official birthday-portrait of me lounging on my new paraperro®cushion. Yeah, it fits perfect to me (I mean the cushion, not the crown...).


Again, thanks to my friends for this unforgettable day!

Happy Barkday, Part 1

You're telling me!
(Postcard from »I'll Know It When I See It«)

Corporate Design

Look at my own and brandnew logo my mistress designed the last days!
Now I can answer the billions of love-letters I receive every day from all over the world lordlike & stylish:


I just can't get enough of me....woofeeeeee!

I think I will use it the first time at my birthday-party on sunday. A perfect room for animal experiments on tastefulness...

Birthday wishlist

Yes, everybody's getting older - even me. On May 29th will be my 6th birthday and I'm going to have a tremendous party for all my friends.
Because everybody's asking if there is anything a "Hund von Welt" like me doesn't have, here is a small selection of my unaccomplished dreams. (And trust me: I do have many more!)


Birthday-Cake for dogs by »Lovina«

Canvas-Collar by »Found my animal«


Grenade Rubber Toy by »Tuffy Dog«


70ies style cushion by the brand of my mistress »paraperro«


Collars made out of sailing ropes by »sailing dogs«

Thanx in advance - you're my best friends! I love you all! See ya on sunday!

Balloon Dogs

I really like the noise when somebody is tinkering a balloon dog. And I love the feeling when I bite into one. (But I hate that BANG afterwards!)
Nevertheless - here are some of my inflated brothers and sisters I found at the internet:

This couple is a pair of bookends, I saw at »ModCloth«. Even if you aren't into reading it's an adornment for every shelf.


Two really nice collars for mistresses - one in black made by »Roscata«...

...and this glossy one in gold by »The Nymph«:


But never ever forget the lordlings! For the lords of the lordlings, I found some cufflinks designed by »Ted Baker«:

Aaand never, really never ever forget your lovable pup. Here's a unique toy from »charming pet« for chewing, drooling, licking, nibbling & biting.

My suggestion would be: Balloon dog for president! - Here is an inspiring button by »Short attention span girl« for his eleccion. I will wear it at my collar while listening to his first speech.


For everyone who is into that "Do-it-yourself-stuff", try this instruction for knoting your own balloon dog. But be careful, don't mutate into an animal hoarder...

Heel!

My mistress is completely addicted - no, better maniac - for SHOES. I know, this is a general problem of many women and dogs will never understand it.
But here are some, that even converted me into a shoejunkie. The designer is »Kobi Levi«, a guy from Israel who creates "artistic footwear". For him every piece is a wearable sculpture. The results of his work are "usually humoristic with a unique point of view about footwear."

If one of these pairs would find their way into our home, I wouldn't try to taste them (what I normally love to do) because I'm not into cannibalism...
