Swanky Pup of the Week!

This lovable, 13 year old boy is Paws…aka Mr. Waggles. He earned this affectionate nickname because he never stops wagging his little stubby tail and his whole body wags if he is especially happy to see you. Waggles loves to destroy stuffed animals and pulls all of the stuffing out within minutes. He also LOVES food and will wait patiently next to you while you eat hoping you will share with him…which explains why he is a bit hefty. He is a loyal and loving pup and truly is man’s best friend!

Nicknames: Pawsy, Waggles, Sir Paws Woodruff Waggles, Baby

Likes: Going for walks, socks, food (especially the human kind), getting attention, taking long naps, stuffed animals

Dislikes: When other dogs come over and steal his toys, going to the vet, getting groomed, the rain

Rope Toys Shaped Like Animals!

In my apartment the average lifespan of a stuffed dog toy is about 3 seconds. Harold finds the seam and just rips it apart until he is covered in fuzz. I even try sewing them up, but it takes me longer to sew then for him to rip it apart again. I simply gave up on buying stuffed toys shaped like cute animals. However, this left Harold with just a few monochromatic balls and rope toys, until now.

I discovered rope toys shaped like animals. These colorful toys come in many different shapes and sizes. I opted for the yellow giraffe but they also come shaped like a monkey, cat, octopus, lion or teddy bear. They are super durable, and this giraffe has lasted a whole week, infinitely longer than just a regular stuffed toy. Since it is made of rope and not stuffed I don't have to worry about Harold ingesting the fuzz.

I first saw them at my local pet boutique here in Washington DC but since then I also found them on thepamperedpup.com for only $14 to $16. And with the way they last it is well worth the small price tag! These adorable animal rope toys are a colorful addition to any toy box.

Beautiful and inexpensive furniture for your pet

I came across this gorgeous furniture for dogs by Pet Studio. It looks nicer than my own expensive bedroom set but is very affordable!

The furniture is rich looking, with high-quality mahogany finish. The platform bed elevates pets in style with a cute paisley mattress. The wardrobe is a great piece of furniture to store all of your dogs great clothing and accessories, and features a removable shelf, a bar for hanging items, and magnetized doors. The toy chest has a ton of room for all of your dogs play items. All three items have a bone accent for an adorable matching look. You have to assemble it yourself, but it is worth it for the great price. (The bed is $109, the wardrobe $89, and the toy chest $69!)

So if you are looking to pamper your pet with an awesome bedroom set, this is definitely a great option. We looked everywhere online for a better price or coupon code but no one beats PetEdge.com. While on their site, check out their awesome January clearance sale, too!

Swanky stationary featuring you and your pup

Looking for a great way to spoil yourself or a fellow trendy dog lover? If so, I highly recommend you check out the personalized stationary from Design-her Gals. I received this stationary as a Christmas present and I was very excited when I saw that not only was my name on the note pad, but also a figure that looks and dresses like me and she was with a dog who looks just like my puppy Baxter!

The stationary from Design-her Gals allows you to make your own gal to be printed on the note pads and you can pick everything including her hair and eye color, her clothing and her accessories…which obviously for us swanky dog owners means our dogs. They have over 100 dogs to choose from and a wide variety of breeds so almost everyone will be able to find the right match to go with their gal.

Not only do they sell trendy note pads featuring your gal and your pup, but they also have stationary, invitations, calling cards, business cards, address labels and t-shirts. They even have personalized e-cards you can send to friends and family featuring your gal. Treat yourself to this stylish stationary and you will be looking for excuses to write notes to your friends!
