I have the travel bug. My husband and I have been together for over eight years and we really haven’t taken a vacation together. “But what about your honeymoon?” you ask…  See, we didn’t go on a honeymoon. We decided instead to use that money to build a fence in our backyard for our dogs. [...]

Aleloop has provided me a good chuckle today. I’m slightly obsessed with this chihuahua graphic…I’m entertaining the idea of the underwear…or maybe I’ll get the tee so I can wear it to SXSW this year. Either way these are freakin fantastic!

Sometimes I wonder if Leroy has a secret life that I don’t know about.  Sure, he seems real chill and docile by day, but come nighttime…he may be a super-doggy.  Instead of the Cape Crusader, they call him, The Canine Crusader-Captain Lick-a-lot.

Oh cute dog magnets, why do you tempt me so?  Well…I need something to hang up the baby’s artwork on the fridge someday, right?

Now this is what I’m talking about!  Shelters, rescues, and other people in the dog world take note. In a previous video, I talked about how shelters and rescues need to modernize the apparel that they sell to raise money for themselves.  This is the kind of shirt that I would buy and [...]
