Find Your Own Puppy Love By Dating With Your Dog

DivineCaroline.comApril 18, 2009 //

Elisa Baxt recalls one of her first dog dates with her boyfriend; it was on a beautiful spring day, and she and Scott were having lunch at an outdoor cafe, eating salads, and sipping lemonade. Next to them was Elisa’s three-and-a-half-year-old chow-lab mix Cody, chewing on a special order carrot (raw and unpeeled).

“It was a great day,” Elisa said, “and Cody was a great icebreaker. Of course, now, she’s like our child. And we take her everywhere.” Keep reading »

Who Is Bo Obama, Anyway?

Catherine StrawnApril 13, 2009 //

Have you heard the news? The Obamas got a dog, and they’re naming him Bo! There were some conflicting reports about Bo over the weekend (is he, in fact, from a shelter?), so we thought thought we’d straighten out things regarding the new First Dog.

  • Bo is a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog (also known as a Portie).
  • Ever since President Obama made his campaign promise to daughters Malia and Sasha, the media hasn’t stopped talking about Malia’s allergies and how their dog must be hypoallergenic. Bo will not make her sneeze.
  • Sadly, Bo isn’t a shelter dog. Michelle had been fairly adamant that their puppy would most be a rescue dog, but Bo came from a breeder. He is a bit of a reject, however, because he was purchased by someone else and then returned to the breeder after Bo (then known as Charlie) annoyed his owner’s older Portie.

    DivineCaroline.comMarch 20, 2009 //

    Pet custody battles are becoming more and more common. When married pet owners divorce, the animal they shared often finds itself at the center of their split. Monthly support payments, visitation rights, restraining orders, custody battles, and legal fees: Sounds like the usual bitter divorce battle, right? Not so fast. This time Kramer v. Kramer also stars Missy the Chihuahua, Sable the Keeshond, and Barney, a golden retriever-Lab mix. Welcome to the brave new world of animal custody law. Keep reading »

    Roberto Cavalli’s Doggy Designs Are Fit For An S&M Club

    Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 11, 2009 //

    Roberto Cavalli, the over-the-top designer with a knack for swathing men and women in copious amounts of leopard print, beading, and leather, is coming after your dog. He’s launching a line of petwear that promises to make your pooch the envy of the Miami club scene. Seriously, I know people dressing their dogs up is kind of common now, and I will admit that Lucca has a jacket that she wears when it’s freezing and/or raining, but leopard pajamas and leather vests are a bit much. What’s next? Donatella Versace designing doggy evening wear? [NYMag.com] Keep reading »

    Treat Your Pet To A Designer Sex Doll!

    Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 4, 2009 //

    My dog Lucca, a female mutt that has been fixed, has a thing for humping stuffed animals and balled up socks. It doesn’t make much sense, since she shouldn’t have any sexual urges, but I think she does it to assert authority (over an inanimate object). Which is why I thought this Designer Sex Doll for dogs would be the perfect gift for her third birthday! After all, it looks vaguely like modern art and it will be easy for her to grasp with her front paws! But then again, there is a, um, pink hole at the rear end, and something tells me it’s not dishwasher safe. [NeatORama] Keep reading »

    Dealbreaker: The Guy Who Hated Dogs

    M. E. RobespierreJanuary 19, 2009 //

    Judging by box office returns, hundreds of thousands of people went to see “Marley & Me,” the movie about that goofy yellow Lab. My ex-boyfriend was most certainly not one of them.

    I met “Greg” online. Actually, a friend of mine hand-selected him for me, apparently because when left to my own devices I choose poorly. In any event, Greg and I met for dinner, and I thought I’d struck gold. He was quick-witted, employed, and even mocked his own bald spot. So, at the end of dessert, when he went on a rant about how dogs smell and are “pathetic substitutes for children,” I refrained from punching him in the face and instead agreed to a second date. Besides, I thought, he might say he’s not a dog person, but once he meets my amazing dog Perry, all bets would be off. I mean, have you seen Perry? Keep reading »

    Love Vandal: Half A Dog, Half A Name

    Catherine StrawnJuly 15, 2008 //

    Amelia was so distracted by her dog Lucca’s cute butt that Gul___’s name got truncated. Give your best guess in the comments.
