I often get the question, “Jamie, I don’t know HOW you can handle having five dogs!!” Understandable. Sometimes I just want to sit on the floor and not have someone lick my face. I dream of being able to do yoga at home. Or having enough room on my couch, or my bed. They bring me [...] more...

Do you have a light on your dog’s collar or leash for night time walking? Honestly, I didn’t even know this was ‘a thing’ until Swiss+ Tech Products sent us one of their Dog Leash Lights to test out with Jack, and now I’m wondering how I didn’t know about these sooner! The leash light [...] more...

While The Mister and I were on our ‘stay-cation’ last week, we were invited by the good folks at Brasilazy to come visit their offices downtown and pick up a new dog bed for Jack to test out. I was definitely on board with the idea, since Jack had completely obliterated his last bed – [...] more...

I promise I’m not suggesting that you should tattoo your dog. But I am suggesting that your dog would look pretty awesome in a hand-painted collar from Tattooed Pooch. Anna Graham, owner of Tattooed Pooch, has been drawing and painting since she was about 9 years old, and graduated from Otis Art Institute. And now [...] more...

Is your pup a bit of a princess? Does your dog believe he should have his own butler? If your pooch simply scoffs at those tennis balls and squeak toys you bring home, then I’ve found just the designer doggie toys to introduce your pet to the life of luxury that (they believe) they deserve… [...] more...

Jack is a strong dog with some “outdoor issues“. We worked and worked on leash-pulling – we’d start to see some results, and then something outside would spook Jack and we would be all the way back at square one. I was never able to give Jack a full six feet of leash, because if [...] more...

The awesome folks over at PetMate were kind enough to send Jack a brand new toy to test out. The Flip-Flop Yankers by Fat Cat are stuffing-free, canvas tug-of-war toys with a nylon belt inside for reinforcement. As the owner of a dog with a good prey drive, I was definitely excited about trying out [...] more...

Unfortunately, I received some information about the quality of the merchandise that I find unacceptable. I’m providing print-quality files with CMYK colours, but the printing service is providing something rather different from what has been given to them. Sadly, it seems the colours are coming out all wrong. I’m contacting the print shop to see [...] more...

The amazing folks at Thundershirt were very generous and sent us two shirts, free of charge, to test out. Both Jamie and AJ tried them out on their nervous pups, Deebo and Jack, and this review features input by both of us. Test One: Jamie & Deebo Jamie says: First things first: let me briefly describe [...] more...

It seems that everyone has a favourite dog breed (even if you’re like us and you love all pooches, big and [...] more...

This may be the most amazing necklace idea that I have ever seen. Did you know that a dog’s nose print is unique? They’re like finger prints on a human! When you order this necklace, you get a mold kit that you can use to take an imprint of your dog’s unique nose print, and then [...] more...

On Saturday, I had some pieces in an art show here in Toronto, and I spent the days (and nights) leading up to it hibernating in my studio. The event was called “Bad Dog! Good Dog!”… can you sense a theme? It wasn’t an art show in the strictest of terms; more of an art [...] more...

These are actual, honest-to-goodness high heels. They exist. I’m not much of a “heels” kind of girl. In the summer, I live in flip-flops. In the winter, I live in Ugg-replicas. (I’m in Canada, so those are basically the seasons here.) For me, comfort is key. I will watch shows like House of Lies and [...] more...

Hey, guess what? THAT’S NOT A REAL DOG. I’m serious. That pooch, my friends, is a miniature felt replica made by the amazing Gerry of Etsy shop GourmetFelted. Using pictures of your dog, Gerry sculpts amazing, teeny tiny little copies of your furry friend (3-4 inches!) with amazing, lifelike detail. Are you tired of reading [...] more...

How awesome are these?? When I first saw them, I daydreamed up a scenario in which there was a dog park full of pooches walking around with Gene Simmons tongues and handlebar moustaches, and let me tell you – it was a fantastic daydream. We don’t actually own one of these – yet – so [...] more...

I love dogs, I love art, and I especially love when dogs and art come together in a whimsical fashion, like so: Walter Salas-Humara is the artist behind Walter’s Dogs, fun, acrylic paintings of pooches. In fact, Walter can create a unique portrait of your dog (on 16×20″ canvas) from pictures of your dog, like [...] more...
