DCH Spotlight - Puppia Soft Harness
So, just between you and me: That harness that every dog and her mother has on? It's called the Puppia Soft Harness. Yeah, the colors are great, aren't they? The mesh is very flexible. Durable too. Yeah, my dog loves it. Uh-huh, it's adjustable. No, not too expensive. Oh, they totally have it in blue!
Oh No, Yoko!
Um? Protesting unfair treatment of animals by eating animals? Aside from being utterly nauseating and just plain wrong, it isn't even logical. Given the slew of man bites dog/dog bites man news articles lately, I propose a truce. No biting by either party, and certainly no eating. Let's give peace a chance.
Update: the Internets is out of control and everyone reported the wrong thing. Dog was eaten, but Yoko was not there and did not participate. Great way to get your name out there - ride on the name of a really, really famous person!

Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
Whether you're slathering on the SPF 75 this summer or throwing caution to the wind and darkening yourself to a delightful golden brown, your pup will need protection from the rays. Dogs are very sensitive to sun and can get burned easily, especially if they happen to have a lighter skin tone and a kissable pink nose. Make sure to rub this pet sunscreen on your pup to help prevent uncomfortable burns. To pick up some other tips on keeping your pet safe this summer, check out this article. As for you, bronze away. We won't tell.

Doggie Plastic Surgery
Dr. Alan Schulman, a board-certified orthopedic veterinary surgeon, who’s worked with many celebrity dogs, gives us another perspective. He explains that there are instances where is it medically necessary to nip and tuck. Skin folds can be reduced or eliminated to help alleviate infections. Also, some breeds that suffer from breathing problems, like Pugs and Bulldogs, can get nose jobs.
Then there's the "Neuticles". To each his own.

DCH Spotlight - Denim Mini Skirt Dress
This denim skirt dress really reminds me of seventh grade, but in a good way. I don't think I was ever this fashionable at that age but Annie can really rock this outfit and not look passé.

Codependent Canines?
Morally wrong as it is, I can't help but thinking that it's a clever idea. Sort of like stealing cable. You would never actually do it, but you're secretly a little in awe of those that do. What do you think?

DCH Spotlight - Four by One Top
It's hard to find festive clothing that has a life past the actual holiday. After all, nobody wants to be the dog wearing the jack-o-lantern sweater to the park in the middle of November. That's why we love this tank top . It's perfect for all those holidays that require red, white and blue gear, but nothing about it screams 'Fourth of July'! The tasteful white stripes are just as flag-ish as nautical, so you can don it on Memorial Day and then take it sailing a week later.

DCH Spotlight - Bondi Surf Club One-of-a-Kind Tee
Surfer chic for your dog. Made from vintage and recylced tees, you get the worn in look without having to wash it 20 times. The good part? No one will have it. Yay. The bad part? It only comes in one size. Boo.
Happy belated Mother's Day
Even though Mother's Day was a week ago, we have to give props to this momma dog. In this photo, Huani, is nursing 3 abandoned tigers (temporarily named One, Two and Three) and her own pup. It seems it's common for this Chinese zoo to use surrogate dog mothers when the tiger mother rejects its babies. Strange, but moving.

A Face Only A Mother Could Love?
First of all, we wouldn't have a 'world's ugliest human' contest, would we? Nooo. As Americans, it is our duty to smile, lie through our (Creststrip whitened) teeth, and teach our children the lyrics to "Everything is Beautiful." When we really need to sound off about the less than pleasing aesthetic of a fellow human being, we go visit Perez Hilton. And that's not even that bad, because those people are usually ugly on the inside, not the outside. Plus, it's not like we know them personally.
Even more disturbing, most of the dogs competing for the venerable 'ugliest' title happen to be Chinese Cresteds. A tad breedist, perhaps? Just because you happen to be hairless except for your mohawk does not make you unattractive. If it did, why would everyone be swooning over Emo boys?
Bottom line is, all dogs are cute. They're dogs. C'mon.
DCH Spotlight - Olivia Blouse
Once in a great while, we come across a magical piece of clothing that look absolutely amazing on everyone who tries it on, regardless of size or body type. As you can see, this Olivia Blouse is definitely one of those items. With four irresistible prints and a ladylike attached scarf, it's a wardrobe staple. Annie loves that it's casual enough to pair with a denim skirt, yet upscale enough for take your dog to work day.

Heads Up
Like Brit, Annie loves the cowboy hats. But we've really gone gaga over this sporty tennis visor.

Dog Poop as Political Art
The concept is simple. Corporations naturally try to privatize everything in their path, so we'll give them a hand. Whenever you see an abandoned pile of doggie doo, stick a copyright flag in it and lay your claim. One by one, we'll show the corporate world what we think of their claim to ownership of our culture.
As much as we hate "The Man" and love art, you can't leave poop lying around the streets of NYC, especially with a flag in it. 1. it's illegal 2. it's gross 3. doggie doo is the leading source of e. coli bacterial pollution 4. it's gross 5. if I come across a random pile of poo, I'm not going anywhere near it 6. did I mention it's gross? Instead, we recommend this adorable baggie carrier and make a statement against poop abandoners by yelling at people who don't pick up after their dogs.
Puppy Love
To each would-be princess, her prince. Anyway, Annie has been bugging me for weeks about exactly which ensemble she should wear when attending the movie. (I think she has ideas about stealing Shrek away from Princess Fiona) We finally decided on this little number :
Subtle, isn't it? Oh well, at least it's his favorite color!

Stars of Track and Field?
However, should you deign to get out of your Louis carrier and sweat it out, please at least dress appropriately. This means cute sportswear :
I'll be at the finish line cheering you on. Annie's sitting this one out though - she thinks teacups make her look fat.

Call Me
The PetsCell is the first voice enabled waterproof GPS cell phone optimized for animals. You can call and chat with your pup or use it as a GPS tracking device if they're lost. There's also a "call owner" button for the finder to call you about your lost doggie. I just hope the buttons are big enough for Annie to text us back. t2ul

Rodent Clothes Horse?
But today our aimless procrastination truly reached new heights:
Yes, that is a squirrel. This ain't no cuteoverload.com, folks. Somewhere out there, there is a woman who is incredibly dedicated to dressing up her pet squirrel and taking photos like the one above. To see more, check out her site

Bitchy Tees
I guess it was only a matter of time until this happened:
Cheeky, but cute, right? However, there are limits - this tee, for example:
Would you let your dog out of the house like that? I'd like to think that friends wouldn't let friends make fashion faux pas as grave as that one. But I suppose if you're as cute as Annie, you can pull off pretty much anything...

Officially over it.
Boy, are we fickle! Last week, we were okay with the skulls. Now, I'm officially over the skull and camouflage trend in doggie fashion. We look at new dog clothes designers every day and we keep on seeing the same thing - skulls, camouflage or skull with camo. Even with the 3rd Pirates movie coming out, we've had enough with the skulls. Evil skulls, cute skulls, abstract skulls, half skulls, whole skulls and the worst offender of all - skulls and camouflage! Gah!

Off the Runway - the Baby Doll
For Annie, we turned down the sophistication and turned up the adorableness - pink, bows and ruffles!
The Pink Mariposa Hand-Smocked Dog Dress or Pink Doll Dog Dress will put the baby in your doll!

Dog Dish
Dishy tales of two very pampered poochies with downright decadent closets + heaps of celebrity gossip = a yummy tell-all that's impossible not to devour in one sitting.
In addition to lavishing love on Yorkies Jazzy & Juicy and serving us the scoop on all things Hilton, Cindy Adams also designs irresistably chic carriers:
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.

Annie Lavigne
I know I'm supposed to be a grownup, but that new Avril Lavigne tune, "Girlfriend" is somehow stuck my head and I can't say that I particularly mind it being there.
And as long as we're telling secrets, I might as well admit that I kinda like her pop/punk/slacker/goth/glamour/whatever style, even though I don't think it would work for me personally.
But that's the thing about having a dog. If I can't rock it, Annie can! This skull tank, for example:
Hell yeah, she's the mother ******' princess.
I wonder how she would feel about some strategically placed pink coat highlights?
