Friday Fetch: Dog-Gone Fun via Loose Leashes

For today’s Friday Fetch I figured since we’re heading into memorial day weekend that it might be nice to have a little fun! So I decided to grab some of my favorite shots from canine photographer, Ron Schmidt of Loose Leashes!

I hope that it’s a reminder to everyone to let loose a little and enjoy life.

P.S. Mr. Ron, if you are in need of a spunky dachshund in a super hero cape for one of your shoots, I would be happy to oblige!

I’d fit right in huh?


 

Friday Fetch: Chew Furniture Leg Cover

Now “if” I had a problem chewing furniture I’m sure my mom would be putting these all around the house! I admit, in my puppy days I chewed a furniture leg or two….haven’t we all. Perhaps this nifty doggie chew toy  by designer Jennifer Yoko Olson would have persuaded me otherwise.

This Chew functional dog toy by Gaia & Gino is made of natural rubber. Wrap around wooden legs of your furniture. Fun & practical dog supply for your pampered pup. Available in creme, turquoise, brown, purple and fuchsia.

You can fetch one at Wannekes for $34

Friday Fetch: Anderson Bowls

It’s no secret that I’m a nature loving pooch. Hunting, digging, hiking – it’s totally my thing. So when I discovered the Anderson dog dish’s, I knew it was right up my alley!

Anything but plain, the simple cylindrical dog feeders are made of Natural Acacia Wood, highlighting its natural beauty. (Includes Stainless Steel Bowl).

You can fetch your own at Bitch New York. $35 – $64

Also check out the similarly styled Acadia Dish for $45- $108 (unfortunately no longer available). Your pooch will love eating his dinner and being eco-friendly at the same time!

I was not paid or perk’d to share this product. I just think it’s totally pawesome!

Friday Fetch: Doggie Hair Do’s

I may not be follically-challenged (at least yet…..well aside from my bare belly), but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t have a blast dawning these hilarious doggie hair do’s from Bitch New York.

Seriously, how laughable would I be in a Sarah Palin wig, or with a Shirley Temple do?

All the wigs come with a strap that can be adjusted for each dog. The wigs are light and comfortable to wear, and are also restyle-able.

You can fetch your own stylin’ wig over at Bitch New York.

$24 – $50

UPDATE – these products are unfortunately no longer available.

I was not paid or perk’d to share this product. I just think it’s totally pawesome!

Friday Fetch: Bow Tie

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

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

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

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

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: Lasso

Now granted I’d much rather be leash free, but sometimes I like being connected to my “person”. Makes me feel a little safe and secure!

So that’s why today’s Friday Fetch is the Lasso retractable leash.

All other leashes let you do one thing- walk the dog. That’s great if that’s all you want to do. But what if you need to stop and run a quick errand while with your dog? Lasso™ is the answer. Just press, lock and go. With over 12,000 dogs injured a year from untied leads, don’t take the risk! Designed for the owner “on the run” with patent-pending quick-click technology. And- it’s also a better everyday retractable leash – more attractive and industrial grade. Beauty…with brains.

You can shop for the Lasso here as well as watch a pretty sweet video!
