Ever since I saw a glimpse of them, I have been waiting. Keeping up with all that is good in the pet product world is completely satisfying to me and I’m constantly amazed (and probably get a little over excited) when new companies bring innovative, unique, stylish (and sometimes a little whacky) products for all [...]

The Chinese Crested Dog has being popping up a lot on my radar recently. The first time was when I saw this little guy over on Kol’s Notes presented as winner of the Worlds Ugliest Dog, and then when I saw these, more endearing, images of Chini which I first spotted on A.G. Out Loud . [...]
