Catalog Review- "in the company of dogs"
This catalog is definitely worth a visit to the site to request it. It's well done (layout & photos) and the products are swanky. They've got the whole William Wegman line of dog things, funny dog art and cutesy dog clothes, among other things. A little on the pricey side as far as I'm concerned (around $70 for the quilted vest below), but worth a gander. And if you feel like how I feel about catalogs, this
one's a keeper. This one gets a 4 Hank heads rating. Click on the Hank heads to find out how I rate stuff. Request a catalog here.

And, perhaps the most compelling reason to git yerself a catalog from this company is this:

this is quite possibly the most spectacular thing i've seen in months...
The hippie costume for dogs. My goodness, think what this could do for a house party. You would have to wait until everyone had at least 3 Heinekens each to break this baby out. Dress your dog up in this bad boy and send him out by himself into the livingroom and listen for howling and the sound of beer shooting out of your guests' noses. Then you can all watch the "Dog Shredding His Hippie Costume" show that will soon follow.

i'm so excited. the Paris Hilton line of dog things...
Okay, world. Hold on to your knickers. Take a nice, deep breath. Take another one. Now hold it in.....
Paris Hilton's dog clothing and accessories line has landed. You may now exhale.
As much as everyone loves to poke fun at P. H., you have to admit that she's taken the I-can't-believe-you're-THAT-into-your-dog obsession and turned it into something that is somewhat socially acceptable. I'm clapping on the inside for Paris and her baby faerie right there. I'll never turn on you like all those heartless people did, Paris. You have done the equivalent of what an army of activists would've never imagined could be possible; it is because of you that the world's population considers dogs deserving of better apparel than their human counterparts. Congratulations...

for the girls under 15 who are crazed over nailpolish...
Yeah, they make nailpolish for dogs. My personal favorite is the golden color on a black dog. Make sure your dog doesn't think his/her nails are getting clipped when you're doing this, because if she does, be ready for a tantrum, complete with the expression of her anal glands, some deep scratch marks down your face and your neighbors beating down your door thinking the blood-curdling screams are traveling down the springtime air of the cul-de-sac because you're pulling your dog's legs off of its body. And all for some golden nails that you wanted to show to your friends. Plan this out right, you all.

tie dyed shirts for dog owners who have that Jerry Garcia obsession...
i know there are plenty of you guys out there.
you, who have dancing bears on the bumpers of your SUV's, you who vacation at wellness communes in Rhinebeck, N.Y. where they serve organic frittata every wednesday and the staff howls at full moons in the nude WHEN. EVER. THEY. CAN.
you, who wishes out daily to the universe for the powers that be to create a dog shampoo that smells like patchouli oil, not the patchouli oil they sell on streetcorners in chinatown, but the oil that has that undeniably strong smell of DIRT. you, who go to rainbow conventions to sing along at the bonfire with all your friends and their mind-warping drum circles, which are led by a girl who calls herself "turtle".
and you who can be seen sitting indian-style with your eyes closed at the mouth of the river (no styling products in your hair, so naturally it's all frizzy at the ends), your arms outstretched to feel the earth's womb quivering; you might like to get your dog a purple tie-dyed t-shirt so he can reach a higher level of vibrational energy while he's watching you dust his backyard dumpage with burning sage.

the mesh tank top. my father would be all excited over this one...
click photo for product/website.

Just so you know, internet, my father is the real-life Cliff Claven from "Cheers". When he's not wearing his United States Postal Service letter carrier uniform, he's smoking the eternal cigarette in an orange mesh tank top and mini running shorts that he has no business wearing. More details later, I don't want you to get all scared and overwhelmed.
