friday favorites.

here are my favorites for this week (the puppy edition!):

• earth-friendly waste bags. i confess i hadn't really thought about the environmental impact of my doggie's waste bags before now, but the ones i'm using are plastic and, i'm pretty sure, not good for the environment. these are 100% compostable and biodegradable. i can finally feel good about poop. $8.95 for 50 bags.
• personalized collar. my better half suggested we emblazon one with "vicious" for haley. totally apropos. $49.
• design your own pet bed. the cool thing about these dog beds is that they are stain-, moisture-, odor- and bacteria-resistant and machine-washable. i love the choices of fabrics, too. users can select different fabric for the top and bottom and gusset (middle). personalization is free. as it should be, since these puppies start at $190.
• enamel dog bowls. finally! a dog bowl without cutesy paw prints or "woof" on it. i like these modern colors, too. as far as my favorites, it was a tie between these and these. start at $9.50.
• silver-buckle collar. a silver buckle is a "must have" accessory for the stylish pup. this company is using two colors of grosgrain on the collar, which i'm not totally sure about, but i do like the silver buckle! they have leather ones available here. $42, or beginning at $25 for leather. matching lead available!
• new favorite dog site. well-designed with excellent product choices. and they have brick and mortar stores in the san diego area, too!
• new favorite magazine. "the voice of modern dog culture." need i say more? it's so "best in show." i'm subscribing.
