i've seen it all. the birthday cake...

link here!


If you are thinking of getting this for your dog, I know a few people I could get you in contact with. And maybe you all could have one big, outrageous party in your dog's honor. I knew a girl who gave her dog a carvel ice cream cake on its birthday. The dog ate it on top of her absent boss' desk, the scene of which has been documented by photo. Don't do that, people. Please. I know dogs are batty for ice cream, whichever flavor you offer, and the crunchies in the middle of the vanilla and chocolate layers are irresistible to human and canine alike. But please don't give your dog ice cream intended for humans. Please. Do the right thing here. Get the cake that's at least digestible by dogs. Okay?

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.

more ice cream for dogs...

Chilly Dawg is a new ice cream for dogs in sundae form. The creator of Chilly Dawg wanted to give her dog the best stuff to eat, without having to worry about dairy products, preservatives, chemicals, or animal fats. The flavors; Barkin' Apple, Berry Bite, Puppy Nutter, and Beggin’ Banana. Ingredient sample; unsalted soy milk, banana puree, dehydrated banana slices.

Awesome. someone was thinking. In this case, it was a lunatic dog owner who hated not being able to share her ice cream with her dog. Keep on rocking the world, dog fanatics. Your being so out-of-your-minds gives me more to write about.

tailwaggers.com

reasonably priced and sassy-sweet. i only wish she made martingales.

let me know (send a photo to m@dropthatsock.com) if you buy one of her collars so I can post a real life example on the site, okay? OKAY.

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.

trying to find a way to get this on the site...

I love these so much- they're a porcelain version of the takeout trash we all get from the greek restaurant and then toss away. She even has a white version with a golden outline.(!) Anyhoo, you can use these to feed your ungrateful dog or cat and everyone will ask where you got them at. Toodles!

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.
