Totes Too Cute to Leave at Home

PetSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:55:05 -0700

Straight from the makers of those chic cushions and neat Blik wall decals, the people over at Pillow Pillow Pillow let you take your breed love on the road with organic cotton totes. After all, you'd look pretty ridiculous carrying around a pillow. Water-based inks make up the simple silhouettes (all based on actual animals). Naturally, Otis the Boston Terrier is my favorite, but peep the other cute designs below. Happy shopping!

3 Cute Kitty Things My Desk Doesn't Need, but I Still Want

PetSugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:19:37 -0700

Someone's gotta watch over my mouse. Get it? My mouse. Ha, I crack myself up . . . but at $110, I don't want to crack this kitty up. She better stay sitting pretty on my desk monitoring my blogging all day long.

Then, after all that typing, maybe my hands are burning up! Not too sure what a "Steuben Cat Hand Cooler" is but I'd love to get gifted one in my hot little mitts. But, since she looks rather sleepy, I'll let her rest up as a paperweight when not in use.

Lastly, catends look much better than my haphazard stack of books threatening to topple at any second. Keeping the set in order, this kitty is form plus function but with a healthy dose of feline fun! Looks like I have three more things to add to my wish-I-needed dream list.

3 Cute Doggie Things My Kitchen Doesn't Need, but I Still Want

Wouldn't you love to be faced with this across the kitchen table or office each morning?! I mean, I couldn't help but giggle at these silly mugs. Of course, I love the doggie one, but there's also a rabbit, pig, or monkey model if any of those creatures appeal to your human family members more. Why not collect all four for an in-home zoo!

Granted, I don't personally care for hot dogs, but I could totally care for this clever cooker. This cute pooch steams up to six at a time and even lets off a "bark" alert when dinner's ready - would I hear that at your house? Good dog.

Woof, woof! These pups cut soft foods but they're meant for tiny hands. Whatever, I'd totally butter and slice up my afternoon toast with doggie knives - the ears and tails act as hand guards in case I'm too excited while digging in!

Jonathan Adler's New Pottery Collection Is Totally Wild

PopSugar — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:45:07 -0700

Chic designer Jonathan Adler, who produced one of my favorite pet bed designs, is showing off his love for animals in a new way - with pottery and home accessories! His line of place card holders, pottery, salt and pepper shakers and lamps made in the likeness of whales, penguins, giraffes and hippos is right up my alley - it's all wild, baby! These goodies are available for purchase on his website ($18-$700) now, but if we're really lucky, we may see a few of the items on the shelves at Target. I'm pretty sure I've already seen the bull place card holder and snail napkin ring there already. Although the dachshund up there on top can't be considered a wild animal, he sure could use some love. Just look at that swaying back!

Swarovski Animal Figurines Have That Special Sparkle

PetSugar — Mon, 18 May 2009 06:00:10 -0700

Looking for a suitable present for an animal-loving friend who is part heiress, part over-the-top glam songstress and part opulent lady who lunches? Look no further. These Swarovski figurines ($45 to $800) put your average pet themed gifts to shame in the sparkle department.

The delicate and shiny ornamental pieces wouldn't last in my dog house, but I can imagine them fitting right in an elegant cat palace or as a desktop doodad for a classy cat lady. Would you be proud to display one of these crystal shapes, or are they spoiled rotten material?

Real Men Have Cats

I'm a fan of the snarky tee (see here and here for evidence) so I can't hold back my giggles at this fun find. Perhaps you've combined furry families with a sig-o – or he's still growing to love your feline friends – so why not offer up a pink tee praising his efforts . . . since the hue just ups the humor ante. But, whether you've got a human valentine this year, simply want to treat a furry friend, or gift yourself (not judging), check out a bundle of ideas below.

I Love You Kitty Bag ($18)	My Dog Loves Me Tee ($21)
I Love You Doggie Bag ($29.50 and up)	Heart Attack Catnip Toys ($16 for two)

I'm Not Pulling Your (Key) Chain

PetSugar — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:30:16 -0800

It's like a patchwork puppy face! Since I admittedly go a bit crazy for all things Boston, I'm gaga over this cute clip. Nevermind that I don't have a purse I'd snap it on (and believe less-is-more when it comes to my keys), I think this would make a nice gift and a new way for a pet parent to show off a lil one no matter where they snap. After all, these chains come with an attached, magnified photo frame for your pal's face and the large size might just help you not misplace your keys all the time. Well, here's to hoping anyway!

Bring Home One of the Furry Faces From Hotel For Dogs!

PetSugar — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 04:15:52 -0800

Since scoping the trailer for the upcoming Hotel for Dogs film, I couldn't wait to learn the names of all the four-legged cast members we spotted (refresh your memory here). A couple of the film's human stars – Jake T. Austin and Emma Roberts – made a special stop earlier this week to promote the movie and show a whole line of special-edition stuffed animals at FAO Schwarz.

In addition to ones depicting Friday, Romeo and Juliet seen here, check out the cute toys to treat kids this Holiday season – let them get all their cuddles in while waiting for the film to open in January.
