I first spotted Bowsers’ Contour dog bed over on Phetched and now I can’t stop thinking about how much I like this trellis pattern. The Contour bed is part of an outdoor collection that also includes a rectangular bed, a round cushion and a patio lounge mat — all in this sweet modern trellis fabric! Hmmm…I wonder if humans could use that patio lounge mat…

Tim Flach takes portraits of animals, many of which are dogs. His expressive portraits are much like human portraits rather than snaps of dogs in their natural habitats. There is an emphasis on the traits of the particular kind of dog he is photographing almost as if he is trying to exaggerate what is already there. I can’t imagine what it is like to get that one great shot, especially with an animal who is far less cooperative than a human!

No, not my Lulu. She’s too big for this house. Lulu’s Hideaway is one of the modern dog houses by Danish company The Pet Project. The Pet Project began when designer Lene Nendel got some cats and, not unlike me, was very picky about their accessories. So, she partnered with store-designer Michael Ryding to develop a series of six products for the first collection of The Pet Project that would suit her specific taste.

Thanks to Modern Dog magazine for including Dog Milk in their Top Dog Sites in The Scoop section! Check it out in the Summer 2010 issue on page 17 (and read the rest of the mag, too — you won’t be disappointed!) How cute is that little milk-drinking doggie drawing they created?
Remember back when I posted about these Greenies Pill Pockets? Well, I invested in a bag of the Roasted Duck and Pea Formula, which they call their “Allergy Formula,” so that I can give Lulu some pills at night. I got the capsules, but they also have a tablet size.
The bag was somewhere around $8, which I thought was a little high, but I’m sure you could get them on sale or use a coupon. Certainly not a product you would want to purchase if you give your dog a pill once or twice a day every day all year long. However, these are great for when you need to give your dog some medicine for shortened periods of time.

If you’ve been anywhere near the Northeast in the past 2 weeks then you’ve experienced the unforgiving heat wave we’ve had to endure. Every day, I took my pups outside for an afternoon walk and we got about 10 paces and then they just stopped. And panted. And walked 1 step and stopped again to pant. Then we would go inside and they’d inhale gallons of water.
It got me thinking about my dog’s hydration. A few weeks back Brian sent me information about his company and product, Dogdration. Dogdration is deionized water for dogs that is enhanced with electrolytes for hydration, ginseng for health, as well as glucosamine for hips and joints. It is also flavored with allergen free all natural peanut butter flavoring — yum!
