Is that a zombie foot in your mouth?
I’m a little obsessed with The Walking Dead.
Did you watch the season premiere? Ahhhmazing.
Pretty much every episode last season I’d look over at my husband and say, “Can you imagine if there were zombie dogs?” to which he’d reply, “We’d be screwed because you’d never be able to kill them.”
True statement. Zombie humans? No problem. Zombie dogs? Notsomuch.
Teton is a fan of The Walking Dead, as well. I think he needs this, don’t you agree?
Zombie Foot Dog Toy from NeatoShop
And, for Christmas, this is a must for any zombie-lover-dog-owners in your life.
Gingerbread Zombie Dog Christmas Ornament from NeatoShop
Oh, zombies.
Dog-Centric Homes Part Deux
Some things never change. I’ve been a pinnin’ fool since joining Pinterest last year. One of my favorite things to pin are ideas for shamelessly incorporating your dog into your life, whether that’s in the form of decor, fashion, or other avenues.
Here are some my latest favorite Pinterest finds. Enjoy!
Fire Hydrant Bookends from KnobCreekMetalArts
Too funny! Also, if you’re a horror fan like me, this set would be great for displaying your favorite flicks: Horror Bookends
Dogs embroidery pattern from Craftsy
This would be adorable in a little frame on a desk or nightstand.
Dog house and bone-shaped pool from Intricate Floor Designs
Too bad Teton is terrified of the water.
Painted dog pillow covers from Pottery Barn
Not so sure I could convince my husband that these would look fabulous on the living room couch.
DIY car seat cover from exscapes
I use the Kurgo Wander Hammock which is fantastic, but this…this is stylin’! Maybe Teton needs two car seat covers?
Dog washing station from Better Homes and Gardens
Because a girl can dream. And y’all know how much I love dog washing stations.
What about you? Any incredible Pinterest finds that I should know about? 
Catch Some Zzzz’s
I’m in the market for a bed for Teton.
These days, you can spend nearly as much on your dog’s bed as you would on a bed for yourself! Ok, not really, but you catch my drift.
There are so truly amazing dog beds out there.
Case in point:
The Pet Lounge Studio Bambu Hammock
Holy.crap.
Most incredible thing you’ve ever seen? I think yes.
Surprisingly, this sucker is only $125 through Pet Lounge Studios.
If the Bambu Hammock doesn’t thrill you, then I don’t know what will how about an Orvis Tempur-Pedic bed for your little furball?
Bonus: If anything ever happens to your own personal bed, you can sleep on your dog’s!
This particular model, the Orvis Tempus-Pedic Deep Dish Dog Bed, costs a whopping $295. And that’s for the small size. Ouch.
If your dog likes something over their head when they sleep or is a burrower, the Microsuede Cozy Cave Bed from Fetch Dog might be something to consider.
It does look mighty cozy. And a much more reasonable price point at $79 for the small, $99 for the medium, and $129 for the large.
If you’re like me, though, a simple, plush bed should do the trick for your pooch.
I’m going weak in the knees for this Katie Puff Rectangle Pillow bed from Animals Matter.
Right? Right?!
This bed runs from $169 to $229 depending on the size of your dog.
All this talk of beds is making me sleepy.
Have a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend, friends!
What’s in a name?
A nickname, that is!
I’m willing to bet that you have at least one nickname for your dog. If you’re like me, you probably have more than one.
Teton’s nicknames include but are not limited to: T, Mr. T, Goonie, Goon, Goon Bird, Goose, Goosey, Goose Man, Puppa, Dude, and Dude-O. That’s a pretty comprehensive list in case you were wondering.
The Goose and I just got back from our nightly walk.
We’ve been alternating between shorter and longer walks each night. Shorter meaning around 30 minutes and longer meaning 50 – 60. Now that it’s not so “warm” out The Little Blogger doesn’t get overheated so we can handle those 60 minute walks even if the sun is out. Which, of course, it hardly ever is in Washington. 
Oh, and I say “warm” because warm in Washington means over 75 degrees. I love the heat but TLB isn’t used to it so I can’t blame him for getting hot with all that fur.
Anyhoo, it’s Etsy Wednesday!
I’m a little bit addicted to Etsy. Along with searching for jewelry, handmade clothing, and other rando things for my house, I always make time to check out what Etsy sellers have for pets.
On Monday I came across this:
PoodleLounge’s Dog Walking Bag
Did you happen to notice that little opening in the far left corner of the bag?
It’s a built-in doodie bag holder! Be still my heart.
If you’re reading this right now and you don’t have a dog or are a straight male, I can totally understand that you’re all WTF is this hideous thing? But take a walk with me down explanation lane.
Dog walks don’t always call for a shoulder bag or backpack, but haven’t you ever gone out to eat and dined on a restaurant patio that allowed dogs? Maybe your dog was thirsty and you wished you had a portable dog bowl and a bottle of water. Or maybe you were on a hot date and wished you could have pulled out a Himalayan Dog Chew to pacify your dog’s boredom and to impress your date for having such a well-mannered dog that sat quietly and chewed on the best treat of all time. Maybe you’ve taken your dog with you on a family vacation to the beach and found yourself needing more than just a couple of poo bags while your dog happily followed your kids into the fresh salty ocean. (You needed a towel in that situation in case you were wondering.)
Well, for all that extra stuff you didn’t know you needed, here’s a view of the inside of the Dog Walking Bag:
Look at all that space! Room for your cell, your portable dog bowl, a water bottle, a bag of treats…you name it!
Ever been walking your dog after they’ve done a twoski and grimaced at the smell coming from the poo bag that was burning your nostril hair and making your eyes water? Why not just throw it in the lined pocket on the backside of the Dog Walking Bag until you find a trash can?
Check out the Dog Walking Bag’s specs:
