Look what we found today, a witty little tag for the pup who considers him or her self the toughest thing on the block, but in reality is just a big old softie. Sterling silver stamped and completely customizable, this tag and its brother over at Merry Dogs are a great way to dress up your pup’s collar!

With warm weather on its way hydration has never been so important. However it’s not always easy to share a water bottle with your pooch, which is why we are totally and completely in love with these ‘pawsh’ creations from Dudley and Bea.  These squishy travel pet water bowls (that is their official name by the way) are fully waterproof and fold down and snap into place, making them ideal for purses and pockets! We featured the darling cherry dots pattern in our recent issue (pg. 77), but just had to share its sister sidekicks with you! Presenting the ‘little stuff’ squishy bowl and the ‘french blue lattice print.’ Which is your fave?

 

 

Something that is frequently agonized over in the magazine world is typography; the look and feel of fonts and how they relate to the subject matter at hand. True story! That is why we were thrilled to discover this clever graphic print over on Swiss Miss entitled “Dogs as Typefaces.” The concept is to pair each breed of dog with a font that best represents it.  For instance, the poodle is matched with ‘Kunstler,’ a font that is a little bit fancy, most definitely elegant and beautifully poised — attributes that it shares in common with the pooch!

Can it be that another Friday is upon us already? Where does the time go? There were so many beautiful things happening in the pet world this week, it really just melts our hearts.  So here is our ‘Lovely Links’ list to help you enjoy your weekend!  See you on Monday everyone!
