Love labs? Us too! While having a 60lb chocolate lab sit with you all day on your desk may not be the most practical thing in the world, adopting a few of these pretty pup pencil holders is! Made by The Lab, an adorable Etsy shop dedicated to whimsical lab items, these beautiful handcrafted covers are made to fit a standard 15 ounce metal tin!

Announcing the Mucky Pup Photo Contest!

You know what? Sometimes life gets messy. However this pesky unavoidable fact never seems to get our pets down. In fact most of the time they seem almost energized by the delightful prospect of rolling around in fresh mud, galloping through puddles and getting well and truly messy!

So to celebrate this happy-go-lucky nature PAWSH is hosting its first ever “Mucky Pup Photo Contest!”

Whether you’re a professional photographer or a student just starting out, we invite you to send us your most heart-warming mucky pup photos by April 30th 2011.  The photo selected best in show will be featured on PAWSH, along with an interview of the photographer and a showcase of some of their work!

Above you’ll find a gorgeous photograph taken by one of our wonderful and oh-so talented contributors, Liz Bradley of Elizabeth&Jane Photography. She even makes a mucky pup look stylish!

So get your pups out to the park and don’t cringe and the prospect of muddy paws, take pictures instead and send them in to PAWSH for a chance to win a fabulous showcase!

NOTE: PAWSH in no way supports animal cruelty and will not accept any images that depict an animal in cruel or inhumane conditions. Any such images will be reported to the appropriate authorities immediately.

Beautiful Elsa

Acclaimed Egyptian/Lebanese songstress NEeMa (yes, the low-caps ‘e’ is supposed to be there) has unveiled her new video for “Elsa’s Lullaby,” a heartfelt tribute to her beloved dog of the same name. The video features Elsa and NEeMA romping through the chilly streets of Montreal and lounging around their old apartment in Northern Canada. And we must say, we’re swooning over this beautiful simple song.

Elsa, a former stray rescued by NEeMA from the cold streets in Northern Canada, inspired these poetic lyrics, which now stands as an endearing depiction of the relationship between pet and owner and a testament to the triumphant spirit of rescue animals everywhere.

Offering tender vocals, a sweet acoustic melody and a mesmerizing video that makes you want to cry with joy, “Elsa’s Lullaby” from NEeMA’s sophomore album “Watching You Think,” is a must listen for any animal lover. Please find the video below.

A-hoy Sailor!

Warm weather has finally arrived and with it oodles of opportunities for hitting the beach or pool and soaking up some waves. Make sure both you and your pup are nautical ready this year with some classic sailor stripes! A cotton Blue-Striped Hoodie is just the ticket to get your canine chum’s wardrobe in line, while a sophisticated Hooded Roll-up Top from Old Navy will earn you salutes of fashion honour.
