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.
Would You Read Your Dog's Horoscope?
I used to read my horoscope daily, without fail. But these days, I barely have time to read the paper, let alone delve into what the stars have in store for me. So it's a total guilty pleasure to read my horoscope on DearSugar first thing in the morning, and now I can get North's horoscope from Animal Planet!

Where Will Your Furry Friends Be Giving Thanks?
Nothing makes my pooch happier than a day I'm home from work. Since Thanksgiving is a holiday, I'm looking forward to some quality time with my pet, at least before I head to dinner. Whether you're traveling far and wide, or sticking close to home, where will your pets be for the duration of Turkey Day?
Sir Rowf: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?
Would you put Sir Rowf front and center in your home? The Royal Animal Candles ($32–$36) come in a horse, bunny and this dog — appropriately named for his regal appearance — but would your pups be happy looking eye to eye with this waxy invader? (And, definitely, don't let them take a nibble.)
Personally, I think the designs are super detailed but watching the animals melt away (on a two-hour burn time) sounds a bit sad .
Would You Carry Pepper Spray?
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.
All You Ultra Coffee Cup: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?
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.
Barnyard Friends Hooded Towels: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?
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!
H1N1 Face Mask For Pets: Really Smart or Really Ridiculous?
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.
Will Your Pet Rock the Vote at Your Local Polling Place?
North is six years old and it's high time for him to get a taste of our political system! Now I've already found a couple ways for him to rock (and eat) the vote, so I may just bring him along to the local fire station polling place next week. Have you ever done this with your furry friends or do you simply share the results with them later on?
Do You Know How Many Pets Are Allowed Per Household?
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.
