Friday Fetch: Dog Skijoring Gear

dog skijoringOk, so honestly I thought Skijoring was just for horses, but when I saw these nifty Dog Skijoring harnesses and gear at REI I knew exactly what me and Trooper will be doing this winter.

If you’ve never heard of Dog Skijoring it’s a sport in which a dog (or dogs) assist a cross-country skier by providing power by running and pulling while hooked up to a special harness.

You can fetch this nifty set-up for Dog Skijoring on the REI website. I totally want one of these so I can hook Trooper up to my toboggan!

Friday Fetch: Nobility Dogs

nobility dog printsWe all know dogs are pretty important in the face of history, but artist Sij Sandra of Nobility Dogs takes it one step further. Using historic works from famous artists, she inserts canines to portray them as wealthy noblemen, kings and queens, even dukes and duchesses. And her main inspiration? Her Dachshunds of course!

Not only does Sij create canvas glicee prints from her work, but she also has brooches, shoulder bags, scarves, and watercolor prints. You can even order a commissioned work that includes a picture of your favorite canine pal. I’m thinking I totally need a print of me riding in on a white steed to save the day, what do you think?

You can fetch your own Nobility Dog print here for around $30.

Friday Fetch: New Products from Noodle

When you’re a Dachshund it can be really hard to find coats and products to fit your very unique body type. Lucky for me I’ve been a customer of Noodle and Friends since I was a wee pup! Noodle’s family outfits the Dachshund community with stylish accessories that even a farm dog like me can rough and tumble around in.

So I was uber excited when Noodle announced her new fall and winter line!

The Cavendish Plaid Coat screams winter-time warmth. And I don’t know about you, but it’s Holiday-esque plaid colors make me want some hot coco.

Friday Fetch: New Products from Molly Mutt

molly muttMolly Mutt is one of my go-to shops for all my bedding needs. Their revolutionary dog duvet & stuff sack make creating & maintaining a stylish, comfortable, and clean dog bed easier – and less costly – than ever before. So I was super excited when I heard that they’ve just come out with three brand-new product lines & a new pattern for their dog bed duvet covers.

First up is the Armor – waterproof liner, perfect for those dogs with a bed-wetting problem (Don’t worry, I won’t tell). Designed specifically to be used with the Molly Mutt beds, this liner will keep your dog’s sleep spot dry from the elements! Check out the video here.

Friday Fetch: Voyagers K9 Apparel

voyagers K9 apparel Thanks to my pals over at Dog Milk, I now have a new must have item added to my Christmas List (You know, since my Birthday week is sadly coming to an end today). A winter coat from Voyagers K9 Apparel! The coolest part about their trendy looking coats – they make them to custom fit specific breeds (mixed breeds included!). Do you know how hard it is to find a coat to fit my short legged/long body? It’s really really hard.

I’m currently loving the tummy warmer coats & the winter coats – now I just have to figure out what color would look best on me! Yellow, Navy, Teal? And I’m hoping they can add a custom D-ring to my jacket so I can use it as a harness too! Oh and I guess I better start behaving now so Santa will just HAVE to get me a new coat for Christmas.

You can fetch your own coat at Voyagers K9 Apparel!

Friday Fetch: Bambi & Friends

bambi and friendsHalloween is just around the corner and it seems as if everyone already has their costumes picked out! I’m embarrassed to say that I still don’t know what I want to be yet.

Dogs like Bambi from Hope Images seem to effortlessly pull off the perfect costume. I’m a wee bit jealous, although to be fair, I really don’t want to dress up like a hot dog – the most obvious solution.

Doe-eyed Bambi here kinda makes me want to run into the forest and bring home a few fawns to call my own. Isn’t she just precious?

You can fetch these photographs of Bambi and her friends from Hope Images on Etsy for $15.

Even these dogs seem to have gotten into the Halloween Spirit:

Friday Fetch: The Puppoose

puppooseDog tired legs? Just need a rest? Well then I’ve found the product just for you! The Puppoose! I know, the name made me giggle too. According to D.O.G Boutique, where you can fetch this fine item, the Puppoose is the most natural way to carry your pet. It’s designed to fit any small dog and person and is made of luxuriously lightweight, soft fabric.

It’s crocheted design has 4 holes at the base for your little pet limbs and adjustable straps to adjust the length. And just think, your mom (or dad’s) hands would be totally free to do other things, you know, like cook you bacon on the stove!

And apparently it’s a rule that you have to rock out while wearing it…

You can fetch your own Puppoose at D.O.G. Boutique for $59.95.

P.S. Don’t worry, I don’t think I’ll ever be sporting one of these, the pictures (and the product) just make me giggle so I had to share!

Friday Fetch: Pet Calendars

I’m probably pretty accurate when I say most people (and dogs with a busy schedule like me) check a calendar every day of their lives. How else are you going to remember vet appointments play dates, personal appearances, and trips to the pet store?

Well since your calendar is probably your most looked at item, it only makes sense that it should be full of pet swagger! Even though 2012 isn’t here JUST yet, I’ve gathered up some super cool pet-themed calendars from Paper Source.

You can fetch your own 2012 Calendars here.

P.S. If I can get my act together I’m hoping to have my very own “Ammo the Dachshund” Calendar available this Christmas! I’ll be sure to share more details when it’s ready!
