Sunday, December 2nd, 2007Of the hundreds of catalogs that stream in here every holiday season, I took the most notice of the Back To Basics Toys catalog. Having six nephews and one niece to get Chanukkah presents for, it was like an amazing all-in-one gift guide combined with a trip into my past all rolled into […]
Still On The Doggie
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007Living in an apartment with a dog is very different than living in a house with one. Most of my house-living dog friends have the dog doors and the doggies just let themselves in and out to do their business. That wouldn’t quite work in an apartment building — though my mother-in-law loves […]
Puggie.com
Monday, October 15th, 2007I suppose it’s sort of cheating to write a review of your own store, but hey, I’m going to do it anyway and be right upfront about the whole thing. Puggie.com is my Cafe Press store. I started it in — wow! — 2001 to take a stab at selling all of my […]
I’ll Be Dog’garned
Saturday, September 15th, 2007When I first head of dog tracking collars, I assumed they were for locating your dog should it go missing. I’ve been hearing a lot about that sort of thing in the news — things that essentially lowjack your dog should it get separated from you. I’m kind of turned off by the […]
Cute Stuff For The Kiddies
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007This Build A Bear thing is so hot with the kiddies in my family, but I had no idea it was so bit that there’s a whole line of Build A Bear furniture out there. Then again, with all of the various lines of kiddie stuff, it shouldn’t be all that surprising to me.
If […]
Shopping For The Dog
Monday, August 27th, 2007Oh my goodness! It’s a plethora of dog beds. An absolute abundance of dog beds!
I really don’t know where to start talking about this site. Lesseee…. OK, let’s start with the dog couches. I’ve seen a lot of dog couches out there, but nothing that approaches matching my living room decor (not to […]
Coleman Outdoor Dog Bed
Friday, August 24th, 2007
This review is the first to employ the new 1/2 eyeball rating. Read about it here.
Our new apartment came with a lovely large (for NYC) terrace with a gorgeous view. We New York City folks aren’t really used to living the outdoor life. Terraces are a rare commodity, and frankly not […]
The Blue Doggie
Monday, August 20th, 2007
I know it might seem ridiculous to devote and entire post to one single dog toy, but the blue doggie (aka the “Multipet Terry Loofa Dog Toy”) deserves such devotion. All I know is that we brought one home for The Dog just about a week ago, and it’s now become the only thing he […]
Doggie Duds
Sunday, July 29th, 2007Last year while on vacation, we stumbled into the cutest little pet shop in Mystic, Connecticut. We left with one of the nicest, heavy weight, high quality dog t-shirts I think I have ever come across. By way of background, The Dog has awful allergies and early on the vet suggested t-shirts […]
Return To Teenage Angst
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007Remember the days of braces? Oh man, I do. The rubber bands, the night brace, the retainers, man I’m glad those days are over. The jibes of being called brace-face even though nearly half your class was in the same predicament? I had the worst buck teeth ever. I hated the orthodontist with a passion. […]
