Creature Features: Ostriches
Although these African natives aren't the prettiest of the bird family, they are pretty amazing nonetheless! How much do you know about the ostrich? Will you take my quiz or just bury your head in the sand?
Trend Setters: Faux Ostrich For Furballs
Seems like Antonio Sabato's cute pooch isn't the only one getting in on the faux ostrich fabric! Now I like the nubby design but would never invest in the real thing. Thankfully, more and more designers are creating convincing patterns inspired by that fabric, and I found quite a few bags and collars in the mock material below.
How Much Does It Cost to Carry a Pet in a Real Ostrich Bag?
When I spotted this classy camel-colored bag under the arm of Antonio Sabato at the 7th annual Nuts for Mutts Dog Show and Pet Fair to benefit New Leash on Life, I made it my morning mission to locate a similar faux ostrich bag. Even though Antonio's lucky pooch gets a mock ostrich carrier, little did I know that my search for it would lead me to an authentic ostrich pet carrier . .

Pooch's Brideshead Collar: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?
Pooch is a site dedicated to all things luxury for your pets and, if you haven't visited yet, they feature a selection of products made from some pretty exotic materials. At first glance, I thought this was a Fab-worthy Love It or Hate It? cuff, but it's actually a collar reserved only for the hippest of whippets and glamest of greyhounds – that wide band of handcrafted ostrich leather is sure to make a statement on a slender neck.
Loop Dog House: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?
I think the design of this Loop Dog Bed I found on Unica Home is modern and lovely, but I'm not quite sure why it comes in at $700 bucks — the hut is made of faux leather, and the bed itself is stuffed with silicone fibers!
For that price tag, I would have expected an ostrich leather outside, goosedown feathers in the pillow, and maybe some gold. Like 24 karats of it.
