Dogster’s Style Picks of the Week: Dreaming in Denim

I’m someone who loves to dress up, but day after day I find that there is nothing I sport more often than denim. In fact, a lot of my “dressed up” looks actually include denim. Don’t you just love how it’s perfectly acceptable to wear jeans just about anywhere?

Lately, I’m also realizing how denim is also a durable and ideal material for my dog. From chew toys to beds to wearable accessories, denim is a dog owner’s best friend and a material that will stand the test of time … and teeth!

Now that we’re nearly two weeks into January, how are you doing with your New Year’s resolutions? Yikes! That bad, huh? Don’t beat yourself up. Changes are difficult to make.

One of the most challenging resolutions to keep up with is the one we make to work out more. I know I struggle with this one all the time, but I find it helps to invest in the right equipment to get the job done. Wanting to keep my precious pooch happy and healthy certainly helps, too!

Happy Howl ‘o Ween – Rufio Style

I have some very trick-alicious photos to treat you with.

 

My good friend Kathryn Dunlap is owned by the most photogenic and patient dog of all time.  Her boy, Rufio, is a one year old Neopolitan Mastiff (think fang from Harry Potter if you are not familiar with the breed) who’s taking the internet and greeting card business by storm.  He has his own line of hilariously creative greeting cards.  Check out his website – Rufio’s Rumblings.  He has his very own fan club on Facebook and has been a media sensation (tv and newspaper) in and around the Chicago area.  He is currently featured in a Halloween Hallmark greeting card his Gladiator candy defender costume. You can defend my candy any day.

How can I even compete with these costumes?  And Brutus and Rufus would never stand for clothing like that.  Hats, sure… full on costumes, never.  I think I’ve been bitten by that little green-eyed monster, Jealousy. Keep up the good work Rufio.  I think we are witnessing a huge star being born.
