Friday Fetch: Petico Tees

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Ammo

Sometimes our people need a little help in the fashion department. I don’t know about you, but I’m super embarrassed when my mom takes me for a walk in her stinky barn boots, torn jeans, and a shirt that looks like the ponies’ spit paint at (which they probably did).

So I did a little happy twirl when I found Petico Tees, an Australian company that makes T-shirts and brooches that feature modern dog designs.

Now if only I could convince the ponies’ that they wouldn’t make good canvases!

UPDATE – this shop unfortunately no longer exists.

Friday Fetch: Pinterest

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Ammo

Ok, this might not exactly fall under the category of dog, but for a design-loving pooch like me (who also happens to work in a custom frame shop), it had me at hello.

Pinterest is sorta like a virtual pinboard — a place where you can create collections of things you love and “follow” collections created by people (or dogs like me) with great taste. You can use Pinterest to collect and share all sorts of things — wedding inspiration, favorite T-shirts, Dog collars. You name it, someone is pinning it. So when my mom heard about it over one of her favorite blogs, Young House Love, she just knew we had to check it out.

One of the first things I searched for when I logged on was (of course) the word Dachshund. And you will never guess what popped up at the top of the search results!?

That’s my scratch art! How totally cool!

So as luck would have it, mom said I could make my own little “inspiration board” – where I could share all the cool things I’m loving. You can check out my board here. And here’s a little sneak preview of my work in progress….

So if you sign up for an account be sure to follow along on our Pinterest Page, where you can not only follow my likes, but the Painting Ponies’, and even some things that catch my mom’s eye.

With Easter just around the corner, lately I’ve been thinking about my “Sunday Best”. And that’s when I remembered my pal, Buddy!

Buddy’s mom not only make’s totally awesome collars (which both Trooper and I wear everyday!), but she also makes totally pawesome bow ties. I’m seriously drooling over the Aqua Honeycomb one!

These 100% cotton collars include a matching snap on, movable and removable handmade bow tie.

You can fetch one just in time for your Easter Best at SillyBuddy for $40.

Friday Fetch: Butt Sniffing Dogs

Posted on April 8, 2011 by Ammo

It’s like shaking hands, but for dogs. And for some reason it makes people giggle. Honestly, it makes me giggle too. That’s why today’s Friday Fetch is the Butt Sniffing Dogs Ceramic Sculpture from Snew!

Come on, you have to admit, it makes you giggle. hehe

These guys were handmade by using vintage molds and original pieces. They were made of clay and fired once to bisque then painted with a pretty turquoise blue. They are cute as can be even while doing the naughty and measure approx 5.5″ long 2″ high. Ready for loving or gifting!

You can Fetch the Butt Sniffing Dogs HERE for $35.

Also, be sure to check out Snew’s Doxie Cabochons! You know, because everyone loves a wiener dog!

Friday Fetch: Flossy the Dachshund

Posted on April 1, 2011 by Ammo

Ever since my mom DIY’d me a new id tag I’ve been begging her to make me something else spiffy to wear. Maybe an embroidered scarf or leash? The possibilities are endless.

Whatever she decides to make I think we MUST have one of these Dachshund Floss Holders! Please meet Flossy the Dachshund!

Flossy is the solution to all your embroidery floss needs! Super cute and functional, Flossy easily holds one skein of embroidery floss. Simply wind the floss around Flossy’s tummy until it is almost wound up, then place the end of the thread in her mouth as shown in the photos. Voila! Flossy is keeping your floss!

Flossy was hand drawn and is made from beautiful birch wood. Flossy measures about 3.5 inches wide and 1.25 inches tall. You can get your own Flossy the Dachshund from SugarCookie for $12

Friday Fetch: Vintage Inspired Bowls

Posted on March 25, 2011 by Ammo

Today’s Friday Fetch comes from Ancient Industries. They are noted purveyors of traditional household goods and clothing. They travel to various destinations around the British Isles, Europe and America, looking for useful objects that have been in production for decades, centuries, and millenia. And lucky for us they are also purveyors of pet goodies!

These bauer pottery dog bowls are bright and fun…just like me! Created in Los Angeles in the 1930s, the colours of Bauer Pottery were inspired by the orange grove, the palm tree, and the sky. I’d like one in every color please!

$30 each at Ancient Industries

And if you happen to be of the feline variety, they also carry cat bowls.

Friday Fetch: Barking Mad Wallpaper

Posted on March 11, 2011 by Ammo

Sometimes I like to do a little “home remodeling”. Who says a dog can’t have cool digs? If I had my way, this super cool doggie wallpaper would be plastered all over my palace.

From afar, a traditional pattern emerges; up close, however, it’s a dog’s day. Scottish terriers abound in all sizes and patterns, lending levity to this cheeky pattern.

Scottish Terriers, yes, but what I noticed were the DACHSHUND silhouettes! Yippee for being “in style”.

If you’re looking for something to spruce up your walls for spring you can fetch this wallpaper over at Anthorpologie.

Friday Fetch: Pod Bag

Posted on March 4, 2011 by Ammo

Lets face it, no dog likes to be left home. That is why I’m telling my mom she has to buy one of these.

We all need a fashion fix now and then…dog’s included. With the introduction of Mungo & Maud’s stylish Pod bag, your loyal friend would be barking mad to miss out. Minimalist in design and finished with a chic leather trim, this refined canvas bag is the must have accessory this season.
