I don’t believe in pre-nups, but if I was going to have one, it would have to say something about the dog. Lucca is comin’ with me should I ever get divorced. More and more couples are going to court over custody of their pets, battling for full custody, joint custody, or at the very least, visitation rights. But poor kitties! Apparently 90% of pet custody cases involve dogs. Puss ‘N’ Boots gets no love… [USA Today]
Thanks for sending us so many pictures of your amazingly adorable pets. We could only pick ten, but trust us, we labored over the decision day and night. Catherine and I haven’t showered since Monday, we’ve been so consumed with the adorableness. Click here to see all ten—if you’re going to coo at your screen, may we suggest you close your office door?
Don’t forget! It’s National Pet Week! You don’t want anyone to think this little nugget of love is cuter than your pet, do you? If not, send pictures to tips@thefrisky.com. At the end of the week we’ll post the ones that made us melt into a puddle of our own tears.
It’s National Pet Week! In honor of all things cute and mushy and wrinkly and wet-nosed, we’d like you to send us pictures of your pets (email pictures to tips@thefrisky.com). At the end of the week we’ll post the ten most squeal-inducing so your friends, neighbors, and the strangers on this here interweb can “ooh” and “ahh” over your pets’ adorableness. Since it would be totally unfair for me to include my dog Lucca among the top ten, I will just post this video of her when she was a puppy to inspire you.
She’s added a ring, sunglasses, a scarf, and what looks like a Chanel bag to her simple black-and-white ensemble, but the best addition to this girl’s outfit, by far, is her dog. Do they carry those at Barneys? [Trender Bender]
Ugh! I was out running errands this weekend when I saw two more examples of dog clothes being used to promote lame sexist attitudes. This hoodie says “He Goes To Work…We Shop!”, which annoys me because I can totally see some fo’ realz gold diggers outfitting their innocent pups in it. Your dogs would rather be licking their balls than shopping ladies! The other, after the jump, is more Playmate Of The Year nonsense. I get it—“playmate”, hardy har. All I know is my dog would have an awfully hard time rolling around in the mud in a jacket made for a pint-sized Pink Lady.
The Frisky was on the way to lunch when we noticed that on the rooftop of the doggie daycare next door, a photo shoot was taking place! A wedding photo shoot! With puppies! Our reaction was a mix of excitement (me!), revulsion (Emily), and “huh?” (Catherine). What do you guys think of household pets having weddings?
Last night before The Frisky went bowling (highest scores of our lives, all around, FYI), we stopped by Strawberry, a cheap chain on the East Coast which sells Forever 21-esque garments. And look what we found! A doggy dress with Playboy bunnies all over it! You know, it’s disturbing enough when pre-teens have thongs and Playboy t-shirts at their fingertips, but leave our puppies alone, Hef!
My dog, Lucca, had to go to the vet today which has got me thinking about what I would do if she didn’t come home—pets are like family and the only thing I love more than her is my fiancĂ©. My mom and brother are third and fourth (sorry, guys!). So aside from contemplating taking a long walk off a short pier, I think I might follow Kimora Lee Simmons lead. Her beloved dog Zoe just died and she’s thinking about having the 18-year old pup’s remains turned into a diamond. Say what? “There is a company that makes diamonds out of your loved ones,” the fabulous Kimora told People. “They make diamonds from a little of the carbon from the ash, so I might do that.” It seems like a better way of keeping your dog with you at all times—after all, my childhood cat, Ribbon, is sitting in a tin in a storage facility somewhere in Southern California.

We’re suckers for dog and cat wrestling videos. [You Tube]
She may play an awesome bitch on TV, but Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s Susie Essman told Animal Fair magazine that you can tell how awesome a man is in bed based on his bitch—that is, his dog.
Crap. My dog Lucca is a mutt, but we (Note: That is, myself and my boyfriend, who parents her with me—and yes I said parent. Deal with it.) are pretty sure she’s probably a mix of Italian Greyhound (known for loving the attention of people), Jack Russell (hyper, much?), and, gulp, Beagle. This begs the question: If a man owns a Beagle with a woman, does that mean they both suck in bed? Catherine and I discuss the issue, after the jump.
