Am I bad dog owner?

Am I a bad dog owner? Sophie has no outfits. (The picture at right is not her!) She has no Halloween costume, custom furniture, jewelry or shoes.









While I don't read Dog Fancy, I do read and love The Bark magazine (how could I read a magazine with fancy in the title?). It's a fun, hip dog magazine. As an added bonus, in the back there are ads for all sorts of goofy, expensive accessories. Does your dog need an armoire for his/her outfits? Don't you and your dog need matching sweaters? Look no more. (If you're feeling less than spry, go to the smiling dog page. It will cheer you up.)

I also love the Three Dog Bakery. In the New Orleans store, when it reopens, you can buy a Mardi Gras King Cake for your dog. (No baby in the dog cake.)

Matt Rinard is a New Orleans artist who does the poster each year for the Mardi Gras dog parade. I first found his paintings when wandering through the French Quarter and was immediately smitten. His pop art paintings are very funny if your a dog or cat lover with a sense of whimsy.
