This week on PetSugar, we learned some common signs of a deadly disease that can affect your pets, mourned the loss of one of the tiniest dogs ever, and brushed up on our sidewalk dining manners.
What else did we discuss this week? All of the answers to this quiz can be found in this week's posts!
Pet Fashion Week's over 'til February, but New York Fashion Week starts soon! I can't get enough of the Lifestyle Innovation Awards from this event, and you may recognize several of the designs from past posts on the site (like Whiner and Diner, Tigrito, and Kevy K.). Even though, the grand prize winner, HugX, is stunning, if you had to choose with money as no object, which style best fits your home's décor?
My fave competition at Pet Fashion Week is the Lifestyle Innovation Award offered to the company that has the top product design in a different category each year. This year "pet dinnerware" was displayed and this super-cute bowl won. Learn all about it in this slideshow!

I was at a recent event where a group of doves were released as a symbol of remembrance. A friend who attended with me was appalled that this was still a common practice, since she thought it was inhumane to raise doves just to be released – where did they go afterwards?
I did some research and found it's not all bad news for the doves. Indeed doves are very fragile in the wild, and since they aren't known for their survival skills, would probably starve or get eaten by another animal before finding their way back anywhere. As a solution, it's standard practice to use white Homing Pigeons instead of doves, since they bare a striking resemblance to peace doves, but are capable of finding their way back to their nests from up to 600 miles away! How do they do it? Find out when you read more
I loved catching up with Bill who was sent home from Greatest American Dog on Wednesday with his beautiful Brittany, Star. What do you know about this breed? Test your knowledge about these pretty pooches below!
As if one Shiba Inu wasn't enough of a handful (they are super smart . . . and notoriously headstrong), wakeupandora has three in her family! We already met Kitsune (who loves his treats), but I'd like you to meet Hachi (on the right), and Tsuki (in the middle). Kudos to you wakeupandora for raising all these little loves together — I can imagine it would be quite a challenge!
Congrats to the whole shiba family, Kitsune, Tsuki, and Hachi Mitsu, as well as wakeupandora for being chosen as our Pet Pic of the Day! Be sure to submit your favorite photos to our Pet Pics group for a chance to see your furry pals on PetSugar!
