It's important to protect yourself and your pets from threats while on walks. You never know what you'll encounter strolling through an area with off-leash dogs or wild animals, and it's important to think about protection.
The idea of pepper spray was recommended in the comments of a past dealing with aggressive dogs post, and in Dean Koontz's A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog, he mentions the same thing.

I need my daily coffee before I get started with the day — though I usually grab it on the way into the office, it's definitely more cost-conscious to brew the beans at home. Maybe if I had such a fancy mug?
You may be wondering what this All You Ultra Coffee Cup ($33) is doing on PetSugar but it's actually made to match a set of dog bowls, coincidentally, the same pricey set North enjoys.

OK, everyone who was on the fence about that doggie robe, here's another inventive post-bath ensemble for pets — the Barnyard Friends Hooded Towel ($20). The wild options include a ducky, froggie, bunny or lil lamb, but do they best belong on LilSugar instead of this site?
After finding Lil's comment about splish splashing turning a bathroom into full-blown waterworks without a similar kiddie product, it got me thinking: So could a slippery, shaking pooch!

With the new threat of pets (potentially) being able to be infected by H1N1 — poor kitty — some people are taking serious precautions to protect an animal from potential poisons. Take this pooch in China, he's been specially fitted with a face mask. While it limits his breathing in germs, it also prevents the extra sniffs and licks so many dogs are fond of.

Having a houseful of cats can earn you mean names — who are you calling crazy?! — but do you know how many animals you can legally own in your county? I checked out Cat Ladies at the SF Documentary Film Festival earlier this month and the producers were asked about law breaking for the movie.

Whether a teeny spoonful of the real thing or as a flavoring in treats, would your pooches' noses wriggle at the nutty goodness?
Do Your Dogs Like Peanut Butter?
Yes!

Wouldn't it look spooky coming at you in the dark: Just four sets of twinkling nails as they click-clacked on the floor? Now I've never seen this polish in person to vouch for its glimmering luminosity, but I know how nutty North is for his glow-in-the dark toys.
While it comes down to the principle of lacquered claws of any color, would the fact that this polish ($8) purportedly glows earn a glowing review from you?

There's nothing like slipping into a warm robe after a shower on a cold day . . .

Coming up with a name that's just right is a tough process! Some of us one day dream of owning a pet with a particular moniker while others wait until we meet an animal before starting the naming process. I planned on calling North "Piper" until I picked him up and decided that simply didn't fit and a community member enlisted our help to come up with a name for this precious face — how did the process work for you?

Do You Know Anyone With a Pet Ferret?
I sure do!
Oh, that's what that animal is called!
